In today’s episode of “Celebrities Keep Us Guessing,” Julia Fox, the 34-year-old model, author, and apparently, belly magician, had the internet in a frenzy. Why, you ask? Well, Julia accidentally caused a mini-panic on Instagram when she posted a video showing off what appeared to be a baby bump. And not just any bump—this one was front and center, displayed proudly in a white tank top and boxer shorts like she was about to drop the hottest maternity fashion line of the year. Naturally, she captioned the post: “Oops.”
Cue the wild speculation. “Is Julia Fox pregnant?! Who’s the father?! Is she single?! Wait, should I text her?” The people wanted answers, and they wanted them NOW.
But before the rumor mill could start cranking out theories involving aliens, immaculate conceptions, or weird celebrity rituals, Julia hopped back on her Instagram Story to drop the real bombshell. In big bold letters, she wrote:
“Omg it’s for a movie!! THE BELLY IS NOT REAL!!!”
You could almost hear a collective sigh of relief—mainly from fans and probably her dry cleaner. Unfortunately for us, she didn’t spill the tea on which movie it was. (C’mon, Julia, don’t leave us hanging!) But don’t worry, she’s got a whole lineup of films coming, so if you like guessing games, you’re in luck. One of these movies is Perfect, an LGBTQ+ romantic drama where Julia plays a wealthy, pregnant woman living out her “escapist fantasy” by falling in love with a younger woman. Now that’s a storyline worthy of a bump!
In case you forgot, Julia is already a mom to her adorable 3-year-old son, Valentino, whom she shares with her ex-husband, Peter Artemiev. So, while she’s currently momming it up IRL, that latest belly bump? Pure Hollywood magic!
(Though, let’s be real—she totally rocked it.)
