You may recall that Ye was a big supporter of Donald Trump before and during the 2020 election cycle, including after his own failed bid for president. The Daily Beast’s Marlow Stern warns that, while West’s antics with Fox may at first blush look like a response to Kim’s relationship with Pete Davidson (itself a rumored distraction from the Astroworld tragedy involving Travis Scott and, by extension, Kylie Jenner), it’s actually meant to call attention away from something sinister.

Let’s get the most detailed theory out of the way first. Here are some of the internet's best theories about why the public is being offered so much information about this relationship, broken down for your discernment (and because my boyfriend has declared he “doesn’t care” about this enough to discuss it with me, despite the fact that I already catalogued these theories for easy perusal): 1.) All the coverage is Ye’s attempt to distract from something else. Along the way there was an impromptu photo shoot at-you guessed it-Carbone, a fashion fitting in a hotel suite, and some steamy PDA. Harris’s Slave Play on Broadway and then dinner at the other location of Carbone.

In the piece, Fox shared details from their whirlwind romance-from meeting in Miami and attending a New Year’s Eve bash and then lunch at impossible-to-get-a-reservation Italian joint Carbone, to flying to New York to catch a production of playwright Jeremy O. That’s some serious coverage to just willingly hand off to the public! Second, because Julia Fox penned a story about said date alongside the Interview spread shortly after it occurred.

Why so much ado? Well, several reasons.įirst, said date was meticulously documented by photographers and released in exclusive photo spreads for both People and Interview magazines. To wit: Kanye West, or “Ye” as he now legally uses, took Uncut Gems actress Julia Fox out on a date. In case you decided to spend the beginning of the year with family or leaning into your New Year’s resolution to “be less online” (good for you, but come back for this one), there has, of late, been much ado about the newest celeb couple in town.
