Julia Fox found herself embroiled in pregnancy rumors after she took to her social media account to show off a baby bump.
However, the actress has now spoken out to set the records straight, noting that it wasn't a real baby bump.
Julia Fox previously shared that she had been celibate for the past two years before coming out as a lesbian.
Julia Fox Clarifies Pregnancy Rumors
After recently posting a video with a noticeably curvier figure to her Instagram Stories, rumors began swirling that the 34-year-old may be expecting a child.
In the clip, Fox could be seen standing in a trailer on the set of a new film. She sported a fitted white T-shirt, which she was partly lifted to showcase her "bump," and matching boxer shorts.

However, as tongues started wagging, she clarified in another post that it wasn't a real baby bump.
"Omg, its for a movie!! THE BELLY IS NOT REAL!!!" she wrote over a blank background.
Fox is already a mother-of-one to son Valentino, whom she shares with her ex-husband Peter Artemiev.
The pair got married in 2018 but split just two years after that.
Julia Fox Is Set To Star In An LGBTQ+ Romantic Drama
Although she didn't share any further details about the movie her post was for, Variety reported last month that Fox had been tapped to work on an LGBTQ romantic comedy titled "Perfect," and that production was due to begin this month.
She will star alongside actress Ashley Moore and newcomer Micaela Wittman. Millicent Hailes, who has directed music videos for artists such as Adam Lambert, Lil Yachty, and Young Thug, will be behind the cameras.
In the movie, Fox would play a "wealthy pregnant woman who is living out an escapist fantasy as she falls in love with a younger woman (Moore)."
Their relationship started getting complicated by the upcoming pregnancy, turbulent social events, and clashing values about the world's uncertain future.
The Actress Recently Said She Was A Lesbian
The "Uncut Gems" star, who briefly dated rapper Kanye West in 2022, disclosed that she's a lesbian.
The model took to TikTok at the time to reply to a user's remark, who said, "I love when I see a lesbian with their boyfriend. It's like 'Aww, you hate that man. You literally hate him.'"
She stitched the post and replied, "Hey, that was me. I was that lesbian. So sorry, boys. Won't happen again."
In the video post, Fox could be seen walking along a busy street while donning a sunshade and leaving her hair unpacked.
She previously weighed in on the prospects of dating a woman during a 2022 interview with Ziwe.
"I have some gay bone [in my body] and I need to explore that a little bit more," Fox told the host. "Like, maybe my ex-boyfriends weren't wrong when they were calling me a lesbian and complaining that I never wanted to have sex with them."
She Claimed She Was Celibate
Fox previously made the disclosure that she had not had sex for more than two years when she replied to a controversial billboard ad from the popular dating app Bumble that read, "A vow of celibacy is not the answer."
During an interview with The New York Times, Fox explained that despite the fact she was with Kanye West at some point, they did not have sex when they were together.
"Because there, like, wasn't any," she replied when asked about her sexual encounters with the "Donda" rapper. "It wasn't really about that."
Fox then appeared on "Watch What Happens Live!" with Andy Cohen, where she opened up on her reason for staying celibate, per the Daily Mail.
Why Julia Fox Decided To Become Celibate
During her appearance on "WWHL," Cohen read out a fan question for Fox that asked, "What's your reasoning behind being celibate, and in what ways do you believe it has improved your life?"
She replied, "Well, I just think nothing good comes from having sex, including children," before adding that she was "just kidding!"
"I think with the overturning of Roe v. Wade, and you know, our rights being stripped away from us, this is a way that I can take back control," Fox explained. "And it just sucks that it has to be in that way, but I just don't feel comfortable until things change."
