"I have this very highly coveted thing [and] I want to share that with my son,” the star tells ‘Variety’

Julia Fox wants her son to embrace his ties to fame.

The Uncut Gems star, 34, revealed in a new interview with Variety that she does not plan to hide her son Valentino, 3, from the public eye, but rather let him experience it firsthand.

The author and model told the outlet that she believes keeping your kids out of the spotlight as a public figure is “almost like a disservice.”

“It’s like I have this very highly coveted thing [and] I want to share that with my son,” she texplained. “We need him to be a nepo baby, and he needs to own it too.”

Added Fox, “He can’t be like, ‘I’m not really a nepo baby,’ he needs to be like, ‘Yes I’m a nepo baby, and what?'"

The star has already brought the 3-year-old, whom she shares with ex Peter Artemiev, as her plus-one to several star-studded events, including Milan Fashion Week in February 2023, where she carried the tot on her hip.

More recently, she included him in her unreleased “Down the Drain” music video, she told Variety.

That being said, as she discussed with InStyle earlier this month, Fox does have a pretty down-to-earth approach to parenting, which includes being very involved in his daycare and not having a nanny.

"I don't have a nanny, so I do everything: the drop-off, the pickup, the lunches, the feeding, the shower, the bath, all of it, the doctor's appointments, the play dates,” she told the outlet.

She continued, "Obviously, I'm lucky that my family is here in New York, all the grandparents, the aunts, the uncles. So if I have to go do something, it's very easy for me to call upon somebody.”

“And they're all very eager to take care of him because he's just the sweetest, most fun little ray of light,” she added of the toddler.
