“It was so overwhelming and so unsustainable.” “I think I realized very quickly that it just wasn’t going to be sustainable because at the end of the day I can’t put anyone first,” the media personality admitted.
The Italian-born star continued: “My son has to be first.” It just became too much. I didn’t sign up to have two babies.’
During the interview, Julia explained that when she started dating the artist, also known as Ye, she “thought no one would ever know.”
“Because you often go out with these celebrities, but they are, as you know, very secretive. And they say, ‘Don’t post a picture in my bathroom.’ So I just thought it was a secret.”
“So when it suddenly mysteriously leaked out – it wasn’t me – I wasn’t expecting it at all. And then I just accepted it.”
“I thought, ‘Okay, I’ll do the fashion. I wear the clothes. I do what he says.’ And I could only do it for so long,” Fox told Barrymore.
The former couple had a short-lived romance in early 2022, not long after the rapper’s split from his ex-wife Kim Kardashian.
At one point in the candid interview, Drew mentioned how West had made Julia “bigger” over the course of their relationship. Fox replied, “He wanted me to grow taller.”

‘He has. When I got a lot of press, he was excited. That’s what’s special about him. “When he has a vision for someone, he becomes obsessed with that vision and it almost becomes his little project, his masterpiece in a way.”
She then added, “He’s really super fascinating and I never want to talk down to him or this relationship.”
“Even though it didn’t work out, I still feel like I learned so much and he’s a genius, you know? I think he is very tortured. I think he definitely has his problems… It even feels silly to talk about it now because it was only for such a short time.
As for dating, Julia told Drew, “It would have to be someone who also has children so they understand that they can never come first.”
“Then it would have to be someone who would be okay with seeing me once a week for two hours.” Plus, they have a driving force in their life that isn’t me, you know what I mean?
“I can’t be the center of someone’s life,” she continued. “I can’t let anyone’s world revolve around me.” “I tend to get into relationships like that and it just never ends well.”
“Because at the end of the day, the vision of me that they project onto me is not who I actually am.”
