Three years into their whirlwind romance, Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly (born Colson Baker) continue to captivate fans with their edgy, emo love story. Their relationship, which began after Fox’s 10-year marriage to actor Brian Austin Green ended, has been anything but conventional. The pair first met on the set of the 2021 crime thriller “Midnight in the Switchgrass,” where they felt an immediate connection. Since then, their relationship has been marked by passionate moments, public declarations of love, and, more recently, reports of a breakup.
On March 20, 2024, Megan Fox confirmed on the “Call Her Daddy” podcast that she and Machine Gun Kelly had called off their engagement sometime in 2023. Fox explained that their relationship had taught her that some things are not meant for public consumption. She referred to Kelly as her “twin soul” and mentioned that there would always be a connection between them, though she was not willing to elaborate further on their current status.
Just a day before this revelation, on March 19, 2024, Fox discussed Kelly’s new blackout tattoo on the same podcast. The tattoo, which covers the top half of his body in black ink, was described by Fox as “very art” and ahead of its time. She revealed that Kelly had a conflicted relationship with his previous tattoos and wanted to erase those memories. Fox attended one of the tattoo sessions and described it as a “spiritual initiation,” noting the immense pain Kelly endured without any painkillers.
Despite the end of their engagement, the couple was spotted on a getaway to Mexico on March 4, 2024. Paparazzi captured photos of them arriving at an exclusive resort, with Fox dressed in a black bralette and sweatpants, and Kelly in a baggy white hoodie and diamond-printed pants. This trip came after a source claimed in December 2023 that the couple was still “on and off” due to severe trust issues.
In September 2023, the couple was seen engaging in PDA in New York City, with Fox debuting a fiery red bob. They were also spotted together in August 2023, when Kelly supported Fox’s announcement of her book of poems, “Pretty Boys Are Poisonous.” By August 4, 2023, a source told Entertainment Tonight that the couple was “fully back together” and in a “really good place,” discussing future plans and wedding planning.
However, their relationship has been tumultuous. In July 2023, they were seen shopping together in Los Angeles, and Kelly left a flirty comment on Fox’s bikini photos on Instagram. In May 2023, they attended an event together in London, and a source revealed that their wedding planning was still on hold as they worked on their relationship.
In April 2023, the couple was spotted holding hands in Hawaii, and a source told Entertainment Tonight that Kelly was making an effort to win Fox back. Despite these efforts, by March 2023, it was reported that Fox was having a hard time trusting Kelly, and the couple was “on a break.” They were seen attending couples therapy via Zoom, and Fox addressed cheating rumors on Instagram, clarifying that there had been no infidelity.
Their relationship has been marked by ups and downs, with moments of intense passion and public declarations of love. In February 2023, after a PDA-filled date night at a Super Bowl party, Fox hinted at dishonesty in their relationship on Instagram before deleting her account. Despite these challenges, the couple has continued to work on their relationship, attending therapy and making public appearances together.
In August 2022, they dispelled breakup rumors by going on a lunch date in Brentwood, California. They also attended the premiere of Kelly’s Hulu documentary “Life in Pink” in June 2022, where they wore coordinated pink outfits. In May 2022, they got matching tattoos in honor of Fox’s birthday, and Kelly referred to Fox as his wife during a performance at the Billboard Music Awards.
Their relationship has been a rollercoaster, with moments of intense love and public declarations, as well as challenges and trust issues. Despite calling off their engagement, Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly continue to be connected, leaving fans wondering what the future holds for this star-crossed couple.
