CELEBRITY Relationships

When we first dive into the world of romance, we rely heavily on the advice of friends, and with that comes some rules to keep things in order. What we're talking about is the infamous "code," wherein you cannot date your friend's ex. It may be a bit too strict, but it was established to protect our friendships.

In Hollywood, however, the same dating rules do not apply. Because it's such a small world and everyone is connected, and because celebrities simply like to date other celebrities, many end up dating the same people, some of whom share a lot of history with a good friend.

Drake and Kanye West only became friends in November 2021, when they buried the hatchet of their longstanding, messy feud with some smiling photos together at the Toronto rapper's house. But now it seems their truce is being tested, as it was revealed that Julia Fox had a secret romance with Drake before she started dating Kanye West at the beginning of 2022, Page Six reports.

Drake reportedly reached out to Fox on Instagram to compliment her on her role in 'Uncut Gems' (2019), and they kicked off their relationship in February 2020, with Fox even going to stay with him in Toronto until the pandemic hit and she had to return to the US. Fox then got back together with Peter Artemiev, with whom she had a baby before calling it quits and getting with West. Sources say Ye, who performed with Drake in December, is not pleased about the news.
