Julia Fox apologises amid Kanye romance for branding ex Peter Artemiev a 'deadbeat dad'

Julia Fox's relationship with the father of her son has been garnering attention since she started dating Kanye West following his split from Kim Kardashian.

The Uncut Gems actress, 31, has been grabbing headlines since embarking on a romance with Kanye, but it is not just her new relationship that has come under the spotlight, as previous comments she made about her former partner, Peter Artemiev, have resurfaced.

In a scathing social media post, she uploaded in December, she called Peter - a private pilot - a "deadbeat dad" and an "alcoholic" claiming he did not care about their one-year-old son, Valentino.

The screenshot the star posted was an image of Peter and she wrote: "Have you seen this deadbeat dad?"

And now, she has backtracked on her rant saying sorry for what she said on the latest episode of her podcast Forbidden Fruits.

“All I want to say is, I’m sorry,” she said. “You’re not a deadbeat, I know that you’re not, and I know that it wasn’t that you weren’t trying to see [our son] Valentino, it’s that you weren’t trying to see me.”

Julia went on: “Everyone had COVID. I had no help at all whatsoever, and my friend was out and saw Peter out and Peter was saying something along the lines of, ‘That b—h won’t let me see my son.’ And when that was relayed to me … my blood boiled. I just snapped.”

At the time Julia took aim at Peter, he responded to the claims to Page Six.

He told the outlet: "I was saddened to learn of the utterly false statements made on social media by Julia Fox, my co-parent, who is clearly struggling."

He continued: "Out of respect for her privacy and to protect our child, I will not comment further."

Julia and Peter - who were married from November 2018 to November 2021 - reunited this week to celebrate Valentino's first birthday.

Julia has been open about her new romance with Kanye and recently gushed about their "instant connection" during a chat with Interview magazine.

She described how his energy is great to be around and told how the star had kept her and their company laughing and smiling throughout the night.

She also praised the Gold Digger musician- who she met for the first time on New Year's Eve - for his attention to detail and punctuality.

Speaking about events following a photoshoot the star organised for her at her favourite restaurant, Julia continued: "After dinner Ye had a surprise for me. I mean, I’m still in shock.

"Ye had an entire hotel suite full of clothes. It was every girl’s dream come true. It felt like a real Cinderella moment. I don’t know how he did it, or how he got all of it there in time. But I was so surprised.

"Like, who does things like this on a second date? Or any date! Everything with us has been so organic."

While she admitted she doesn't know what the future holds for the pair, she beamed that she's "loving the ride".
