Davidson and sources have said it's not happening. In a surprise turn, West spent New Year's Eve with UncutGems actress Julia Fox, and they seem to be bringing their romance into 2022.
“I mean, it’s all just happening so quickly. I’m going with the universe and the flow and seeing where it takes me,” Fox told The Cut on Thursday, adding, “Where it takes all of us.”
Here's what's happened for the new couple so far.
