Julia Fox is living her best life, sans men.
In her new Allure profile, the actress and fashion icon revealed that her sense of freedom in beauty and style stems from largely cutting men out of her life. “I don’t have to entertain men anymore,” she said, crediting that shift (alongside motherhood) with her newfound confidence.
Fox hasn’t been romantically or sexually involved with men for more than two years, and she doesn’t miss it. “No, not at all,” she admitted with a satisfied smirk. For her, the trade-off has been worth it: “I can’t see why a man would be beneficial,” she continued. Between being a mother, a provider, and working on her own hopes and dreams, Fox said she does not want to make time for anything else. “There’s just so much more you can do with your time than waiting around to see if a guy’s going to text you back or not.”
So true, bestie. So true.
Coming Into Her Pansexuality
That clarity also opened the door to a deeper understanding of her sexuality. “I’m pansexual; I could be attracted to anyone and anything,” Fox told the outlet. When it comes to physical attraction, the actress said she is “more attracted to the female body,” but overall can be attracted to anyone’s mind. “I’m a vibes person.”
She’s hinted at it before, but this is the first time Fox has spoken about her sexuality outright. In 2023, the internet went into a frenzy after a viral TikTok video she posted seemed like a coming-out moment.
In the clip, Fox responds to a creator saying they love when they see “a lesbian and their boyfriend. It’s like, ‘Aw you hate that man.'”
“Hey, that was me. I was that lesbian,” Fox replied. “So sorry boys. Won’t happen again.”
At the time, Fox clarified she thought she might be a lesbian and was open to a relationship with a woman. Since then, she’s been with women, but has not dated one officially.
She said she believes women often struggle to recognize their queerness because “we are so programmed to perform for men.” Looking back, she realized some of her closest, most codependent friendships with women were essentially relationships—something she admits she couldn’t recognize at the time because so much of her survival depended on men.
Now, with men out of the picture, Fox is focused on work and creativity. Between acting gigs and traveling, she also makes time for writing—sometimes finishing a script in just two days. Her latest? A story about a grandmother chasing her dream of becoming a pageant queen. Her upcoming project, a new Jordan Peele horror titled HIM, will also hit theaters on September 19.
For Julia Fox, life without men isn’t about lack—it’s about abundance—more space for herself, her artistry, her motherhood, and yes, her queer joy.
