This week, we learned that Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly broke up again over the Thanksgiving holiday here in America. Apparently, she found something on his phone and she broke things off and they haven’t seen each other since. She’s also about six months pregnant with their rainbow baby, and this is not the first time they’ve broken up or broken off their engagement. Megan and MGK’s relationship has always been a giant ball of chaotic drama, and sources told People Mag that Megan and MGK will probably get back together at some point:
Megan Fox was caught off guard by the latest rift in her on-off relationship with Machine Gun Kelly. The Subservience actress and the musician broke up in late November, just weeks after announcing that they are expecting their first baby together.
A source close to Fox says the actress was “blind-sided” by the recent split, adding, “She’s been distraught.” Still, Fox is “trying to focus on” preparing for the baby on the way: “It’s her priority.”
Reps for both stars have not responded to PEOPLE’s requests for comment. Fox and Kelly, a.k.a. Colson Baker, met while making the movie Midnight in the Switchgrass together, and got engaged in January 2022. They’re both already parents: Fox has Noah, 12, Bodhi, 10, and Journey, 8, with ex-husband Brian Austin Green, while Kelly is dad to daughter Casie, 15.
Another source said Fox and Kelly’s romance “has always been bumpy” and there’s a possibility they’ll reconcile soon.
“They love each other but don’t have compatible personalities. They’re both hot-heads, dramatic and stubborn. When they’re good together, they’re great,” said that source, adding, “They will very likely get back together. They’ve split in the past and then worked things out.”
Still, they have “both been ecstatic about the baby,” said that source: “They really wanted this baby.”
Some people mentioned Megan’s previous marriage with Brian Austin Green, and how she left BAG only to get pregnant with Journey and return to BAG for a few more years. Megan has trouble leaving relationships cold – it takes her years to finally cut things off for good, so I agree with this source that there’s a very high probability that Megan and MGK will get back together. Meanwhile, TMZ had this interesting report on how Megan bought herself a house even before the breakup:
Megan Fox is sold on taking time apart from former fiancé Machine Gun Kelly … we’ve learned the actress has just purchased her own home — without the rapper. Sources familiar with the situation tell TMZ … Megan and MGK haven’t actually been living together for the past year. We’re told he bought a house a couple years ago and always had a lot of people over … which left the “Transformers” star concerned about safety and resolved to have her own space.
Sources say Megan has been bouncing from rental to rental this past year … but is ready to settle down in one place — and she’s since scooped up a large home, worth about $8 million, in a popular celeb-filled neighborhood in the Los Angeles area. We’re told she’ll be moving in soon. However, don’t expect MGK to join her … we’re told Megan purchased the house before she and her baby daddy broke up — and there was never a plan for him to move in. The new pad was always just for her.
Sources say Megan and MGK have never been a good match living together … so, they ultimately decided it was better to live apart.
I’m all for separate spaces, but it’s just like… girl, add it to the list of reasons why you should be done with this guy. It’s not worth all of this! Megan doesn’t want to live with him, she doesn’t trust him around her things, she doesn’t trust him to NOT invite complete randos over, and he’s probably been cheating on her this whole time? Throw out the whole man, for goodness sake.

I don’t know why, but I feel sorry for her. She reminds me of Pam Anderson before Pam finally lost the losers and found herself. MF either has really low self esteem or she’s naive to the max. Enjoy your house and work as much as possible and relegate this loser to historical baby daddy.
That’s an astute observation: both semi-controversial but seem to have a good heart. I’m rooting for a Pam-like arc for her but IDK…doesn’t seem likely at this point.
It’s the low self esteem. I think a while ago she said to Sports Illustrated that “I have body dysmorphia — I don’t ever see myself the way other people see me,”. “There’s never a point in my life where I loved my body, never, ever. The journey of loving myself is going to be never-ending, I think.”
She chases after pretty boys and then spends the whole time fighting with them and herself for not being what she needs them to be. She also spoke about this when promoting her book.
I don’t see him as a pretty boy, good lord. Girl, even if you are shallow, you can do so much better.
Yeah, I agree because you can see how much she messes with her face and breasts. She’s so beautiful, but insecure about having a “large” forehead? She’s way too hard on herself and she’s with a man who apparently makes her even harder on herself. Not a good sign. A man who cheats on you constantly just kills your self-esteem, no matter who you are.
You barely want to be in a relationship with him, but you want to co-parent with him?
I remember when she finally left Brian Austin Green, and thought “ok, she’s going to spread her wings and decide who she wants to be outside of that relationship. And then this is where we ended up….
Seriously WHY bring a baby into this toxic mess? Now she’s forever tied to him. Maybe that’s what she wanted but it hardly seems fair to the kid. Wealth and resources can only do so much to insulate a child and there’s no doubt that he/she will absorb the inconsistency, lack of stability, and frankly just bad vibes that undergird this relationship.
It seems like all she’s done is morph herself into a blow up doll for him and he STILL CHEATS. Girl ain’t never gonna love herself!
I’ve always wondered about her decision to be pregnant so frequently. Clearly she bounces back to her sex kitten vibe pretty quickly, but maybe children make her feel grounded. Like, being a mom might be where she feels confident in herself. I asked this unanswered in a previous thread, but I also wonder about her finances. I guess if she can drop $8 mil on a house, she can probably afford a couple of nannies. I honestly have no sense of what BAG and MGK are worth financially.
I’ve seen people who are mentally ill use babies to anchor themselves in otherwise toxic situationships and marriages. It’s chemically addicting, the cycle of abuse, reactive abuse, trauma bonding, suspense, adrenaline, endorphins, oxytocin, repeat. I think there’s a deep sadness in people who find themselves in these types of relationships throughout their lives and it’s the need for the chemical rush and validation that keeps them hooked. I honestly think it’s addicting like hard drugs are. That’s why it’s so hard to just be done and so hard to not truly believe a baby or “being a family” will heal the dynamic. It seems like it’s often a perfect storm of childhood trauma and insecurity, with a touch of cluster B tendencies to full blown traits, that end up in these dynamics.
This all just seems very sad. At least she has the financial wherewithal to get herself a safe place to be, because MGK seems more and more toxic the more we hear about him.
BuT buT BUt BUT they’re both Taurus’s AND **TWiN FlaMEs** (rolling my eyes)
My husband is a taurus and he is a sweetheart, but he can be the most stubborn, insufferable drama queen sometimes…two taurus together…can’t imagine
As a Taurus I agree.
The messiest relationship I ever had were with other Taurus.
They are BOTH Taurus’??? OMG. That explains it all. They say you should never date your star sign. I know someone who is an Aries married to an Aries and I dunno how they are still together. It is dramatic to say the least.
My husband and I are both Libras and are actually quite compatible.
But since my high school ex who was a Taurus and dealing with my father who is also a Taurus, I’ve sworn them off. I will run away if a Taurus shows any interests in me 😅
I don’t get women falling over this stick figure q-tip.
Me, neither. That and he always looks strung out to me.
I’ll say what I always say. Lead whatever messy, chaotic and immature life you’d like. Live it up! But please don’t drag children through it with you.
How can she trust him with their baby if she can’t trust him with herself?
But, they can have babies together? Oy Vey!
It’s very hard for someone like her, who settled down early, and who is now aging out (in Hollywood terms) to manage that transition into being a middle aged woman. I don’t know anything about either of them but I see a teenaged looking man and a teenaged looking woman hanging on to a love that does not seem functional. DTMF. I remember Demi Moore going through something similar with Ashton. These women are the goods. It’s okay to be old.
This is a really interesting take. As if both in their aesthetic and their personal lives, they’ve never really grown up out of being teenagers. Either way, I hope that her kids would BAG and this new baby are doing OK. And for her sake, I hope that she lands in a place that she either accepts what their relationship is or move on because the back-and-forth cannot be good for anybody.
I think you’ve nailed it, but that further makes me wonder why so many pregnancies. The clock is ticking on her sex bomb image. Plenty of women don’t even begin having children till the late 30s, but she’s already had multiple pregnancies and three children.
I think some of it might honestly be exercising some control in a situation where she doesn’t feel like she has any-as sick as that sounds… I think part of it is linking herself to these dysfunctional roller coaster relationships for good because the whole point is believing he’ll “change” for you, proving to him and yourself he’ll always love you the “most”, it’s not that bad if he says he’s sorry, etc.
Ugh, sadly that makes a lot of sense here. And yeah I suspect that there’s a reunion coming when she gives birth in three months. They’ll make a go of it for a little while, maybe even a year or two.
She’s never had a normal relationship, and it’s looking like she won’t be anytime soon. The older I get the more I see across the board house important having a variety of life experiences and knowing people from different backgrounds is.
She’s been in LA since she was a teen, surrounded by predators and enablers, and she’s making the same choices as the ppl I know who never left their home town or made friends with anyone outside their community. She’s doing it with more money, surgery, and whackier outfits, but the same choices.
Nothing makes me more thankful that I dated a narc in college and some of the a holes after like listening to folks in their late thirties be shocked that someone at work was a narc and they couldn’t tell because they didn’t think that was a real thing. Or talking about marrying a guy even though they don’t really know if he can be left alone for a weekend. She’s had a lot of development as a person taken from her, and I feel sorry for her and her kids. I hope she learns about cord cutting (seems like the most likely way for her to learn boundaries) and moves on to dating herself.
So many people seem stuck in unhealthy patterns because they can’t enjoy their own company or love themselves well into their 30s, 40s, and 50s. It is quite sad.
Except she’s almost 40. There are people who have the most horrendous childhoods (abuse, neglect, abandonment, violence) who as adults process their childhoods, get the help they need and go on to have wonderful lives and non-dysfunctional relationships. This is just who Meg Fox is.
I thought she was Kim Kardashian at first glance.
Yeah, the fact that she’s morphing into KK doesn’t really add a great outlook to this whole situation.
I’m remembering something Kaiser said about the whole T.Swift & Matt Healy thing that he’d lovebombed her and she’d fallen hard as she thought it was real (paraphrased slightly). From what it sounds like MGK’s done something similar, twin flames, pre-destined, you’re my ‘one’ but sometimes that can make it hard to leave because you can be utterly convinced if you do leave you’ll never find anything like it again (I work with Domestic Abuse/Coercive Control victims)
These two and their arrested development. They act like they are forever stuck in High School with the games they play. Stop it. Go away. Have your babies and grow the F up already.
Exactly. It seems they are stuck in HS and think games and drama are true love. These people are 34 and 38. It’s time to start adulting.
Megan Fox is a lost cause. I just hope nothing seriously bad ever happens to her and that the kids are resilient because whew. So much dysfunction.
I have a soft spot for her and I hope she and the kids come of out of everything ok. It’s pretty clear she’s unwell and will remain as such for as long as she keeps seeking out relationships like this, and I hope she’s getting a ton of therapy. She seems like she would really not be okay right now if he were to completely move on.
Let’s not romanticize this or excuse this. These are two people who are drawn to toxic and dysfunctional relationship; they are immature and are the type that think it isn’t love if there isn’t drama, pain, push and pull, and extreme highs (excitement).
Had either of them been more mature, the relationship wouldn’t have petered out as soon as the new relationship high wore off. Unfortunately, now they are bringing a child into this mess. SMH.
