Their managers connected and arranged a phone call and their relationship began from there. She says 50 is the most generous man she ever dated, recalling a time where he filled her LA home with her favorite flowers for her birthday.
“The love that I had for him, and still to this day, will always — he was the love of my life,” she told Vlad. “I will admit that without any reservations. He will always have a special place in my heart. But the reason that the relationship ended is because we went way too public, way too fast…I really love him.”
The actor says 50 Cent ended their relationship on the radio
As for why their relationship fizzled, Fox says their careers took them in separate directions. She was already a successful actor but fame was new to him. She says his popularity continued to grow and he was trying to get accustomed to the lifestyle.
Fox also says that 50’s image as a hardcore rapper was hard for him to get away from, despite him being a gentle soul. She insists he has two personalities: Curitis Jackson, the man – and 50 Cent, the artist.

“The relationship ended after the World Music Awards. I came back and he was on the radio saying he dumped me,” she says. “He never personally said it’s a wrap…when I look back at it now, he went back to being that tough guy because we really loved each other a lot.”
She attributes their breakup to fame and the overwhelming publicity. She regrets being so public with him so quickly.
