On September 17, 2024, actress Julia Fox sparked pregnancy rumors by posting an Instagram Story sporting what seemed to be a baby bump. The 34-year-old model quickly clarified the speculation with another post.

"Omg, it’s for a movie!! THE BELLY IS NOT REAL!!!"

She wrote, confirming that the bump was part of her role in an upcoming film. Despite the confusion, Fox is not pregnant.

The rumors began after fans saw the initial post, where Fox appeared in a white crop top, flaunting what seemed like a pregnant belly. However, it was related to her work in Perfect, an LGBTQ+ romance film where she plays a wealthy pregnant woman.


Julia Fox's baby bump is for an upcoming film role

According to Variety, the movie explores the relationship between Julia Fox’s character and a younger woman, set against a backdrop of an impending birth and turbulent social changes. Perfect is just one of several upcoming projects for Fox, who has multiple films slated for release.

Besides Perfect, Fox is also involved in Presence, a thriller directed by Steven Soderbergh, scheduled to hit theaters in 2025. The film has been eagerly awaited by fans, given Soderbergh’s reputation for crafting engaging and intense narratives.

Fox's role in Presence showcases her expanding range as an actress, balancing dramatic and psychological tension with the complex character she portrays. She has also been involved in several other film projects, including indie features that push the boundaries of her acting style.

Julia Fox’s acting career has seen a steady rise since her breakout role in Uncut Gems alongside Adam Sandler. The performance earned her widespread recognition setting the stage for more challenging roles. She continues to cement her place in Hollywood, navigating roles in both indie films and major productions.

Her bold choices in acting align with her unapologetic personality off-screen, where she often addresses rumors directly, as seen with the recent pregnancy speculation.


Julia Fox on motherhood

While Julia Fox's film career continues to grow, she remains focused on her personal life, particularly her role as a mother. She shares a 3-year-old son, Valentino, with her ex-husband Peter Artemiev. Since their split in 2020, Fox has been candid about the challenges of co-parenting.

In her 2023 memoir, Down the Drain, she described motherhood as a deeply transformative experience, calling her love for her son "visceral" and "worth all the blood and pain."

In recent interviews, Fox has expressed her desire to expand her family. In June 2022, she told People that she hopes to have more children in the future, sharing how Valentino seemed ready for siblings. However, for now, her focus remains on raising him in a loving environment.

She recently shared that she is co-parenting with her chosen family members, ensuring that Valentino grows up with stability and love.


Julia Fox is not pregnant, and the rumors stem from her role in Perfect, a film where she portrays a pregnant character. With a busy slate of films ahead and her commitment to her son, Fox continues to thrive in both her career and personal life, remaining a candid and dynamic figure in Hollywood.
