Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly first met on the set of the film Midnight in the Switchgrass in March 2020. At the time, Fox was still married to her longtime husband, actor Brian Austin Green.

But something clicked between Fox and MGK right away. They spent a lot of time together on set, and it wasn’t long before rumors began swirling about their relationship. By May 2020, it was clear that something was going on between them.

Fox and Green had announced their separation after 10 years of marriage, which only made the rumors stronger. In fact, it was just a couple of months after that when the actress and MGK were officially spotted together, looking very much like a couple.

They were seen out and about, and the chemistry between them was undeniable. People quickly began calling them Hollywood’s newest hot couple. By June 2020, US Weekly confirmed that the two “were dating.” They had only been together for a few months, but it was clear that they had a deep connection.

The next big milestone in their relationship came in January 2022, when MGK proposed to Fox. And it wasn’t just any proposal—it was a really special one. MGK designed the engagement ring himself, with the help of jewelry designer Stephen Webster.

The ring had two stones: an emerald (Fox’s birthstone) and a diamond (MGK’s birthstone). These two stones were set on two magnetic bands that symbolized how they were drawn together by their love. The magnetic thorns were a nod to the couple’s intense connection.

The proposal happened on January 11, 2022, and MGK made it even more special by taking Fox to the same place where they first fell in love—under a banyan tree in Puerto Rico. In an Instagram post, the rapper wrote: 

‘Yes, in this life and every life’ beneath the same branches we fell in love under, i brought her back to ask her to marry me.

For both of them, this engagement felt like the beginning of a new chapter. After all, they had already been through a lot together, including a miscarriage, and they were ready to make things official. While their relationship had its ups and downs, it was clear that they were both committed to each other and looking forward to the future.

Megan Fox already had three children from her previous marriage to Brian Austin Green: Noah, Bodhi, and Journey. But what about children with MGK? Well, that’s been a bit of a more complicated story.

Fox has been very open about a miscarriage she experienced while she was with MGK. In an interview on Good Morning America, the 38-year-old explained that the miscarriage was a hard experience, especially because she already had three kids and “had never been through anything like that before” in her life.

The loss caused a lot of emotional turmoil for the couple, but it also brought them closer in some ways. However, it’s clear that both Fox and MGK have thought about having children together in the future. In July 2024, she appeared in MGK’s music video for the song Lonely Road, and she sported a noticeable baby bump.

This led many to believe that they might be expecting a child. But a source later confirmed to US Weekly that it was just for the music video, and Fox wasn’t actually pregnant at that time. Still, this video stirred up speculation that they might be planning to expand their family in the future.

However, in November 2024, Fox shared some maternity photos on Instagram with the caption, “Nothing is ever really lost. Welcome back” confirming she’s expecting her first baby with MGK after a previous miscarriage.

Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly Break Up Shortly After Revealing Pregnancy

A few weeks later, though, they quietly broke up despite spending Thanksgiving together. According to TMZ:

The reason for their split is that Megan found material on MGK’s phone that was upsetting, and it made her want him to leave the trip early.

Another tipster told US Weekly:

They were trying to make it work again after the pregnancy, but they are both too hot-headed and fell back into their constant fighting.

The source added that they just can’t agree on things, and being together is really tough for them.

Before MGK, Megan Fox was married to actor Brian Austin Green. They started dating in 2004, got engaged in 2006, broke up a couple of times, but eventually tied the knot in 2010. Their marriage lasted for 10 years, and together, they had three children.

But by 2020, their relationship was over. The estranged couple seemed to have a fairly amicable split, especially considering they have children together. They’ve both been open about their commitment to co-parenting, which has made things a little easier for their kids.

Green has since moved on and is engaged to Dancing with the Stars pro Sharna Burgess. Though Fox’s and Green’s marriage ended, they remain focused on raising their kids together. Both have managed to handle the breakup with maturity and focus on what’s best for their family.
