Early Life
Julia Fox was born on February 2, 1990 in Milan, Italy to an American father and an Italian mother. During her early childhood, she lived with her grandfather. When she was six, Fox moved with her father to New York City, where they lived in the Yorkville neighborhood of Manhattan.

Among her other early work, Fox was significantly involved in painting and photography. She self-published two photography books, "Symptomatic of a Relationship Gone Sour: Heartburn/Nausea" and "PTSD," which were released in 2015 and 2016, respectively. In 2017, Fox exhibited her paintings at an exhibit called "R.I.P. Julia Fox," where she displayed silk canvases smeared with her own blood.
