Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly's relationship has been infamously volatile. The couple – who first started dating in 2020 after meeting on the set of Midnight in the Switchgrass – have endured their fair share of ups (getting engaged in 2022) and downs (splitting up numerous times). But after Megan announced her pregnancy in November, all signs were pointing to the couple’s relationship status as being firmly on.
Posting a photo of herself covered in black paint with her new bump, Megan, 38, wrote, 'nothing is ever really lost. welcome back.' (It's possible that this is a reference to a miscarriage the couple experienced in 2023).
But one month after news broke that Megan and MGK, 34, were expecting a baby, it was widely reported that the pair had in fact split up.
And now, a source has divulged to US Weekly how the exes are coping amid the break-up. They said, ‘Megan is moving forward independently and is not interested in revisiting the past. Megan is focused on her pregnancy and not looking back. She is deeply hurt by how things ended but is focusing on healing.’
Meanwhile, MGK – whose real name is Colson Baker – is said to be ‘heartbroken’ but ‘trying to move forward’. It has been claimed that he would ‘like to reconcile’, but Megan is ‘firm in her decision to move on’, with the source adding that she is ‘taking extra care of herself and focusing on a healthy pregnancy’.
So, for those curious as to whether Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly are still together, the answer appears to be no.
During one of their tumultuous periods last year, a source told Entertainment Tonight last May, 'They are continuing to go to therapy, be fully transparent with each other about their feelings, and have consistent communication.
'They have dealt with some trust issues, but are both making a continual effort to stay committed to their mutual end goal of being together forever. They are also respecting each other's space when needed, which is key for them during this time.'
The outlet additionally reported that the couple are being mindful of how their situation impacts their children. Megan is mum to Noah, 12, Bodhi, who turns 11 this month, and eight-year-old Journey with her ex-husbandBrian Austin Green, and MGK has a teenage daughter Casie, 15, from a previous relationship.
'Overall, they're doing their best to make things work and keeping their kids in mind as well,' the source explained. 'They are trying to keep their relationship issues as private as possible and protect their children from any drama or outside noise.'
Who is the father of Megan Fox's baby?
While it has not been confirmed in a statement, Megan tagged MGK in her social media post announcing the pregnancy so it's safe to assume he is the father of her child.
A lot of fans have subsequently searched 'who is Megan Fox's husband?' to see if she and MGK have secretly wedded. Unless they are exceptionally good at keeping secrets, especially amid their alleged relationship troubles, it doesn't seem that they are.
Are MGK and Megan still getting married?
Of course, Megan and MGK were previously engaged but called it off in 2023. While neither party has confirmed nor denied their recent split, it is not looking like a wedding could be on the cards any time soon, all things considered.
Is Megan Fox wearing her engagement ring?
Still not satisfied with the above explanation of their relationship status? Well, Megan's infamous thorn engagement ring was not visible in her pregnancy post (we mentioned the black paint) so it's hard to tell.
However, it's likely that the couple will update fans themselves if they do reconcile and get engaged again.
Megan Fox's appearance on Call Her Daddy
Prior to the baby news, when Megan appeared on Alex Cooper's Call Her Daddy podcast in March 2024, she touched on the tumultuous time she and MGK had been through over the past year. She confirmed that she had previously called off their engagement, but later said she had no intention to speak of their relationship in interviews after her time in the Call Her Daddy hot seat.
She said of the uncertainty surrounding the nature of their relationship, 'I think that what I’ve learned from being in this relationship is that it’s not for public consumption. So I think, as of now, I don’t have a comment on the status of the relationship, per se. What I can say is that [he] is what I refer to as being my "twin soul," and there will always be a tether to him, no matter what.

'I can’t say for sure what the capacity will be, but I will always be connected to him somehow. Beyond that, I’m not willing to explain. All those things you said were accurate things that have occurred [that we got engaged, called it off, and now people aren’t sure what our status is]. And I could see them being confusing, or interesting to people, and them being like, "What’s up?"'
Split rumours first surfaced in February 2023
Megan met MGK on the set of Midnight in the Switchgrass in 2020. They were first linked in May of that year, when they were photographed getting a takeaway together in Calabasas. The following month, they seemingly confirmed their romance by stepping out hand in hand in LA, but waited until a month later to hard-launch it on social media. They got engaged in January 2022 and allegedly wasted no time getting immersed in wedding planning. But by the time February 2023 rolled around, their engagement was marred by reports they'd hit a massive bump in the road.
Despite attending the Super Bowl together that year, Megan unfollowed her fiancé and removed all traces of him from Instagram 48 hours later. She shared a post with the Beyoncé lyrics, 'You can taste the dishonesty/ it’s all over your breath,' from the songstress's 2016 song Pray You Catch Me, which was allegedly inspired by her reaction to hearing rumours that her husband, Jay-Z, had been unfaithful. This led fans to speculate whether infidelity had plagued Megan and MGK's relationship, with the rapper's guitarist, Sophie Lloyd, landing headfirst into the hearsay.
Her management told Page Six at the time, 'Sophie Lloyd is a professional, accomplished musician who has been needlessly dragged into the media based off of meritless accusations made by social media.
'Any suggestion that she has ever acted in an unprofessional manner or stepped out of her relationship are untrue. It’s disrespectful to her as a female artist and poor journalism and social commentary to be reporting anything else.'
How many children does Megan Fox have?
