Kanye West’s new romance is a ‘desperate play’ to ‘get under Kim Kardashian’s skin’ as star moves on with Pete Davidson
KANYE West has been flaunting his new girlfriend Julia Fox to allegedly get under the skin of his estranged wife Kim Kardashian, as she moves on with Pete Davidson.
In a photoshoot released on January 7, Julia announced her new relationship with Kanye West shortly after her split from husband Peter Artemiev.
Julia, 31, recently went on Instagram Live to answer fan questions as her romance with Kanye, 44, heats up.
But a source close to the pair claimed Kanye was only dating the Uncut Gems star to bug Kim.
A source told : “It’s a desperate play for attention. There’s no other explanation when he chooses … [Fox] to go public with."
The outlet reported Kanye is “clearly hurting” and his new relationship is a “ploy to get under ex Kim’s skin.”
The source added: “He , and then he’s linked to all these different girls. It’s very strange.”
The rapper has previously called for his ex to him.
The Sun previously reported that Kim feels the public dates with Julia are a “desperate attempt to make her jealous."

The insider said: "Kim thinks it's comical Kanye went from begging her to come back to showcasing his new girl all over the city within days.
“She knows it's not serious and is just typical hijinks from Kanye.
"Kim thinks it's another desperate attempt to make her jealous. She honestly doesn't care, she's very over him at this point so his little game isn't working.
Julia also appeared to copy some of Kim's fashion choices.
From sheer black lace unitards with keyhole cutouts to diamond mesh skirts to black leather trench coats, Julia frequently looks like Kim's style clone on the red carpet.
As Julia wrote in her INTERVIEW piece, she and Kanye dined, after a few Miami dates, in New York City at Carbone.
The restaurant also happens to be a favorite of the rapper's estranged wife.
As of January 2022, Julia has an estimated net worth of about $6.5M.
Kim is currently enjoying the start to her 2022 with her new man Pete, 28, in the Bahamas, as their relationship continues to get more serious following her high-profile divorce.
Kim filed for divorce from Kanye - whom she shares four kids with - in early 2021 after less than seven years of marriage.
