Julia Fox is one proud mother who spends quality time with her son, Valentino.
There is a part of the media personality's personal life that fans don't witness much, but she showed off a special moment she recently shared with her two-year-old son via a social media update.
The Italian-American actress who shares her son with her ex-husband and private pilot, Peter Artemiev — whom she tied the knot in 2018 and divorced in February 2020 — shared a short clip of herself and Valentino bonding and watching a movie together.
Julia Fox Bonds With Her Son, Calls Herself Lucky
Recently, the "Uncut Gems" actress felt happy and cheerful as she had a fantastic time with her baby boy. She posted a video on her IG Story with her 1.5 million followers, showing them an intimate moment they shared.
The 13-second clip filmed and uploaded by the mom of one showed her placing her head on her tiny tot's thigh while he concentrated on the movie they were watching.
Fox donned a white tank top with written words in front. As it was a casual day for the mother-son duo, she opted to be makeup free while her son wore a matching red tracksuit but displayed his bare chest as he zipped down his sweatshirt. He reclined onto the black couch and placed his thumbs on his mother's face; someone else wearing a black outfit sat with the twosome.
Sparkling lights and dialogues from the television screen could also be seen and heard in the video. Still recording, the model mumbled inaudible words and made cute faces at the end of the video.
The "Franziska Fox" co-owner, giddy about her family time with her son, gushed in the accompanying caption, "HOW DID I GET TO BE THE LUCKIEST MOMMY IN THE WORLD." This cute bonding moment comes months after the "Fantasy Girls" director revealed that she and her son were co-sleepers while doing a tour of her modest New York City apartment.
Earlier this year, the 2019 Gotham Awards Breakthrough Actor nominee took to TikTok to disclose a dreadful secret about her relationship with her toddler. Fox claimed that she and her baby son sleep in the same bed as she filmed through the apartment.
The doting mother voiced, "He only wants to be in Mama's room. He, like, doesn't even sleep in there. He sleeps in bed with me. Yeah, we're co-sleepers."
Although it is not unexpected for children to want to share beds with their parents, Fox recognized that some of her followers could find it disturbing. However, the former Playboy magazine model told the individuals on the internet that she was numb to their opinion, saying, "Sue me, I don't care."
The "Symptomatic of a Relationship Gone Sour: Heartburn/Nausea" publisher further disclosed that she spent the most time straightening out her son's room with furniture and books. The actress stated, "I put the most effort into this room, I think," she continued, "I wanted him to have a cute room. However, he does not hang out in here at all."
Parts of the video tour also showed her "nostalgia mirror," which had images of her kid as an infant and pictures of dead friends. Fox's hallway, bathroom, living room, and kitchen were all visible on the tape.
Julia Fox Defends Herself Against Haters Who Have Problems With Her Living Condition
During the tour of her humble NYC apartment, the single mom of one communicated to her fans that she decided to shoot the video because she believes in being "transparent." However, continuous transparency from Fox has invited a lot of backlash from internet trolls.
As reported by The Blast, haters who assumed she should be a millionaire had a massive problem when she revealed that she had a roommate. "She's 40 with roommates," slammed the follower. After the shady comment, the "No Sudden Move" actress took to TikTok to clap back at the person who thinks it's ludicrous that she shares her space.
In response, Fox sarcastically sang Mariah Carey's famous verse "Why are you so obsessed with me? I wanna know," then tagged the commentator's name and comments to the video. In addition, she said, "Ronnie, baby, get a grip." Also, she took a brief moment to elucidate her t-shirt and shouted out the company that made it.
