While Ye and Julia have been spending more time together since meeting on New Year's Eve, a source close to the actress said she's simply "having fun and taking it day by day." 

As for Ye, a separate source told E! News that Kim Kardashian's ex has "expressed it's not serious" between him and Julia, adding, "He's not looking for anything right now and is really focused on his business."

"He truly loved her energy and passionate personality and knew she would be a perfect person to bounce creative ideas off of," the source added. "He thinks she has refreshing energy and they are having a lot of fun."
