Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly (MGK) are a celebrity couple who met in Midnight in the Switchgrass set in March 2020. They confirmed their relationship in July 2020 and got engaged in January 2022. However, their relationship has faced challenges and rumors of a split in 2023.
How They Met and Fell in Love
Megan Fox and MGK first met in Puerto Rico while filming Midnight in the Switchgrass, a thriller directed by Randall Emmett. They had an instant connection and felt a strong attraction to each other. Fox later described MGK as her “twin flame,” meaning two souls split from the same source. MGK said he was “in love” with Fox and that she was his “dream girl.”
The pair sparked romance rumors in May 2020 when they were spotted together in California. At the time, Fox was still married to Brian Austin Green, the father of her three sons. Green confirmed that he and Fox had separated in December 2019 and said he had no ill feelings towards MGK. Fox filed for divorce from Green in November 2020.
Megan Fox and MGK made their relationship official in July 2020 when they appeared on the Give Them Lala podcast and gushed about their love. They also collaborated on several projects, such as MGK’s “Bloody Valentine” music video, his album Tickets to My Downfall, and his movie Big Time Adolescence. They also attended several red-carpet events, such as the American Music Awards, the Billboard Music Awards, and the MTV Video Music Awards.
How They Got Engaged and Exchanged Blood
In January 2022, Megan Fox and MGK announced their engagement on Instagram with a video of them kissing under a tree. Megan Fox showed off her ring, which featured a large emerald stone and a diamond band. She wrote in the caption, “In July of 2020, we sat under this banyan tree. We asked for magic. We were oblivious to the pain we would face together in such a short, frenetic period of time. Unaware of the work and sacrifices the relationship would require from us, but intoxicated off of the love and the karma.”
She also revealed they had performed a blood ritual to seal their bond. She wrote, “Somehow a year and a half later, having walked through hell together, and having laughed more than I ever imagined possible, he asked me to marry him. And just as in every lifetime before this one and as in every lifetime that will follow it. And then we drank each other’s blood.”
MGK also shared the same video on his Instagram with the caption, “I asked the love of my life to marry me under the tree where we first met. She said yes. We drank each other’s blood. Life is perfect.”

How They Faced Challenges and Breakup Rumors
Despite their seemingly blissful engagement, Megan Fox and MGK’s relationship was not without problems. In February 2023, Fox posted a cryptic message on Instagram featuring lyrics from Beyoncé’s album Lemonade about infidelity and betrayal. She also deleted all the photos and videos of her and MGK from her account and removed her ring. She wrote, “I bathe in bleach / I don’t need you to tell me what to do / I know what’s best for me / You can keep your apologies / They’re lies / I can smell them from a mile away / You’re not sorry / You’re just trying to save face.”
A source told ET that Fox was “very upset” and “won’t speak to” MGK after they fought over her new book of poetry, Pretty Boys Are Poisonous. The source said that MGK felt “hurt and betrayed” by some of the poems, which he thought were about their ex-husband. The source also said that Fox was “not happy” with MGK’s partying lifestyle and his friendship with rapper Future, whom she accused of being a bad influence.
In March 2023, Megan Fox attended the Vanity Fair Oscars afterparty alone, without her ring. She did not comment on her relationship status but looked stunning in a red gown. Meanwhile, MGK was hanging out with Future and other friends in Las Vegas.
In May 2023, Megan Fox and MGK were spotted together for the first time since their rumored split at the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue launch party. They posed for photos and held hands but did not wear their rings. They did not address the breakup rumors but seemed to be on good terms.
