March 2020

Fox, then 34, and Kelly, then 30, met earlier this year on the set of the upcoming indie thriller Midnight In The Switchgrass. Deadline reported that the film’s production in Puerto Rico shut down after two weeks due to the coronavirus pandemic. A source told E! News that the co-stars had “been hanging out a lot since their movie was shutdown,” adding, “The down time has been good for them…They are intrigued by each other and having a lot of fun.”

Rumors of romance between Kelly and Fox began when the DailyMail published photos of the pair grabbing takeout together in Calabasas. The outing came amid rumors that she was quarantining separately from her longtime husband, Green. Both had been spotted without their wedding rings in recent months.

The next day, Green posted a cryptic message to Instagram, marking his wife’s birthday.
“Eventually butterflies get bored sitting on a flower for too long,” he wrote alongside a photo of a butterfly on a flower. “They start feeling smothered. It’s a great big world and they want to experience it.”

May 18, 2020

Three days later, the Beverly Hills 90210 alum confirmed that he and Fox have been on a break since December 2019, via his …with Brian Austin Green podcast. “She said, ‘I realized when I was out of the country working alone that I feel more like myself and I liked myself better during that experience and I think that might be something worth trying for me,’” he recalled Fox telling him. “I was shocked and I was upset about it, but I can’t be upset at her because she didn’t ask to feel that way. It wasn’t a choice she made, that’s the way she honestly felt.”

He also addressed recent photos of Fox and Kelly out together. “I’ve never met him, but Megan and I have talked about him,” Austin said. “They’re friends at this point, and from what she’s expressed, he’s a really nice, genuine guy, and I trust her judgment.”

Green and Fox share three sons, Noah, 7; Bodhi, 6; and Journey, 3. The former couple began dating in 2004 and split in 2006 before getting married in 2010. They filed for divorce in 2015, but reconciled ahead of their third son’s birth in 2016.

“I will always love her, and I know she will always love me, and I know as far as a family, what we built is really cool and really special,” Brian explained, later adding, “I really don’t want Megan and I to be at odds. She’s been my best friend for 15 years, and I don’t want to lose that.”

A source from Fox’s camp spoke to E! about her relationship with Kelly. “Megan has been working on a movie with Machine Gun Kelly and gotten close to him. They are hooking up and have been for a little while,” the insider said. “She is separated from Brian Austin Green, and they are taking time apart as a couple. She has something going on with Machine Gun Kelly that she is excited about.”

May 20, 2020

Then, Kelly released the music video for “Bloody Valentine,” the first single off of his upcoming album. Fox starred in the video as Kelly’s domineering girlfriend, sharing an almost-kiss with the musician and stoking further speculation about their relationship.

Nearly a month later, the Daily Mail published photographs of Fox and Austin holding hands and kissing after a night spent at Mr. Furley’s Bar in Sherman Oaks, California. The couple’s public date night came one day after Green was seen having lunch at a Mexican restaurant in Los Angeles with model Courtney Stodden by TMZ.

Later that day, Kelly seemed to allude to his new relationship, tweeting a lyric from “Bloody Valentine.” “I’m calling you girlfriend, what the f*ck.’ Life imitated art on that one,” he wrote.

A source told E! that although Fox may be moving on, Green “isn’t filing for divorce yet,” adding, “He wants to give Megan space and is hopeful they will find their way back to one another. It’s been hard to see her get back out in the dating world, but he is trying to fill his time with his kids and friends.”

June 17, 2020

The next day, Us Weekly reported that Kelly and Fox were officially dating. “Megan and MGK have gotten more serious and are officially dating and referring to one another as boyfriend and girlfriend,” a source told the outlet. “They’re enjoying spending more and more time together and have a strong connection.”

A source told E! News that this relationship is “new and exciting for Megan” and that she’s spending time with Kelly whenever Brian has the kids. The insider continued, “She has only been with Brian for many years, and this is very different. She’s into it.”

June 23, 2020

More than a month after their first public outing, Fox and Kelly appear to be going strong. The Daily Mail ran photographs of the couple leaving dinner at Soho House in West Hollywood, on Tuesday, June 23. Earlier that day, Kelly shared photos of his and Fox’s matching “Bloody Valentine”-inspired manicures on his Instagram Story, via Us Weekly.

Fox and Kelly gave their first joint interview on Lala Kent and Randall Emmett’s podcast, Give Them Lala … With Randall. Randall directed the couple in Midnight in the Switchgrass and Fox recalled her initial thoughts when she discovered Kelly was cast. “I was like, ‘Who is going to play this role?’ And he was like, ‘Oh, we just got Machine Gun Kelly,’ and immediately, I was like, ‘Uh oh,'” Fox said, via Entertainment Tonight.

“Because I knew—I could feel that some wild shit was going to happen to me from that meeting, but I wasn’t yet sure what. I just felt it like, deep in my soul—that something was going to come from that,” she added.

After meeting on set and filming for two days, Fox said she felt an astrological connection between them. “I knew right away that he was what I call a twin flame,” she recalled. “Instead of a soul mate, a twin flame is actually where a soul has ascended into a high enough level that it can be split into two different bodies at the same time. So we’re actually two halves of the same soul, I think. And I said that to him almost immediately, because I felt it right away.”

“I think it was the second day [of filming],” she continued. “I asked him to come into my trailer for lunch, and I put him through all of this astrology stuff. I went deep right away. I knew before I even did his chart, I said to him, he has a Pisces moon. I could tell by his energy.”

All of the astrological talk ensued because the couple got a reading from astrologist Susan Miller during the podcast. Miller said the pair appeared destined to be married, although Fox clarified, “We’re not engaged or anything like that.” But when the astrologist said Kelly was meant to marry someone who is “happy, or it could be a scholar,” he replied, “Yeah, Megan is always really happy.”

The pair of more than two months went Instagram official a week later. Kelly was the first to post a photo, sharing a black-and-white mirror selfie of the couple sticking their tongues out. He captioned the picture, “waited for eternity to find you again … 🔪💫❤️🔪” As if that wasn’t passionate enough, Kelly tagged “The Universe” as their location.

Fox made the relationship official on her feed the following week. This time, the declaration caused some drama. It all started when Fox shared her own black-and-white mirror selfie of the couple. She sported a bikini, while Kelly opted to go shirtless. “Achingly Beautiful Boy… My heart is yours 🔪♥️🔪” Fox captioned the photo.

And although she disabled comments on the post, that didn’t stop her ex from weighing in. Green copied Fox’s caption, posting his own photos of his four sons, including his three with Fox, on Instagram and Twitter. “Achingly beautiful boys…… My heart is yours,” he wrote alongside headshots of sons Kassius, 18; Noah, 7; Bodhi, 6; and Journey, 4.

Green’s shade comes two days after he spoke on the Hollywood Raw podcast about co-parenting with Fox. “I think for us…the realization of that we can’t take the view that it won’t affect the kids, because it will,” he said, via E!. “I think it’s up to us, and parents in general, how it affects your kids…whether it’s a really negative experience for them or it’s ok and they feel safe in it and they feel loved…and they feel like, you know, everyone still loves and respects everyone, things are just different. But, it’s not bad different, it’s just different.” He added, “I wish Megan the absolute best in everything. I want her to be completely happy for her and for the kids. That’s super important.”

Aug. 14, 2020

If Instagram didn’t already make things official, then Kelly just did. When the rapper appeared on BuzzFeed Celeb’s Thirst Tweets, he read a tweet from a fan who asked if he’d go out on a date.

“Machine gun kelly I just wanna let you know am free this sunday to go on a date just let me know if ur free sunday cause I am free and would like to take you on a date,” the fan wrote.

Kelly responded: “I’m locked in already right now. No dates for me. Probably ever.”

When another fan wrote, “I would let machine gun kelly suck my toes maybe,” Kelly responded: “Like I said, I’m only sucking one pair of toes.”

Aug. 25, 2020

Fox slyly reacted to her ex’s post while speaking with Entertainment Tonight. “For whatever reason, people are very trigger happy to call me stupid or call me vain or call me a slut, which is crazy. I was in the same relationship for 15 years, you know?” she explained, adding, “It’s bizarre, this image that gets projected onto me that people have just accepted and that’s lived for over a decade and that I never really did anything to earn in the first place.”

Aug. 30, 2020

Green went ahead and gave another update on how he’s feeling regarding his ex’s romance. “I never say never,” he said when asked on an Instagram Live whether he’d reconcile with Fox, via ET. “I kinda feel like people are on paths in life and sometimes your paths are together and you travel that path together and you see eye to eye, and then sometimes paths do different things.”

He was also asked by a fan what his opinion of Kelly was. “I’ve never met him, I have no idea,” he replied, adding, “I can say, yeah, I’ve heard bad stories about him, but I’ve heard bad stories about myself as well and I know most of those aren’t true. As of right now, I have no problem with him at all. I really hope that he and Megan are happy.”

Sept. 10, 2020

Despite the occasional public input from Green, Kelly and Fox’s relationship appears to be going smoothly. “MGK has met Megan’s kids, but Brian is pretty protective of them,” a source told Us Weekly. “Megan and Brian’s relationship is so up and down. They have been coparenting in a healthy way as best as they can.”

However, the insider explained that this four-month relationship wasn’t going faster than in needed to. “MGK and Megan aren’t seriously taking about getting engaged, married or having kids right now and they’re not there yet. It’s too soon for everyone, both of their kids and Brian included,” the source said. “They are definitely super into each other. MGK is obsessed with Megan.”

Sept. 17, 2020

Then the couple shared another milestone from their romance—hearing the song “Bloody Valentine” on the radio for the first time. Megan and Kelly sit in the car together as the song for which they co-starred in the music video plays in the background.

Kelly offered another update on his and Fox’s relationship to Howard Stern, telling the host that he “didn’t know what [true love] was until me and her made eye contact,” via E!. “That’s when I was like, ‘Whoa.'”

He elaborated on how falling in love impacted the creation of his latest album. “After I made the big chunk of the album [Tickets to My Downfall] I did fall in love for the first time,” Kelly explained. “That was my first experience with being open to love and stuff like that. I definitely wasn’t set up to believe that that’s something that could ever exist.”

Sept. 25, 2020

The pair made a stir days later, while celebrating the release of Kelly’s album. People spotted Fox and Kelly out for a date night in Los Angeles, which later proved to involve the couple scaling the roof of The Roxy. Kelly posted photos from the evening, including a media request for info about The Roxy scaling, to Instagram.

Oct. 13, 2020

A few days after their last public date night in Santa Monica, new reports emerged that Kelly had been introduced to Fox’s kids. A source told People that Kelly “recently met her kids for the first time. Megan thought it was a natural step, since they are getting more serious. They are in a committed relationship and it’s not just a fling. They are planning a future together.” The insider added that Fox and Kelly “spend as much time together as they can” and are “doing great.”

Another source spoke to E! about how the couple is “planning their future together” and are “very serious.” The insider explained, “They see themselves as soulmates and life partners. They are taking steps every day to build on that. Machine Gun Kelly has met her kids and is becoming a part of their lives. She wanted to make sure it was going in a serious direction and they both feel very strongly that it is.”

As for their five-month long relationship, the E! News source affirmed, “They are very much in love and excited that they have found one another.”

December 2020

Now that Kelly and Fox have been together for, well, the entire pandemic, things are starting to get serious. A source told Entertainment Tonight that Kelly sees marriage with Fox as something that will happen for them soon.

“MGK and Megan make each other laugh and that’s a big thing for Megan,” the source said. “They keep each other smiling. MGK totally sees marriage in his future with Megan and friends could 100 percent see them getting engaged within the next year.”

The source added, however, that “Megan doesn’t think about getting engaged [or] married and she doesn’t put a timeline in place and it’s not something that really crosses her mind.”

February 2021

Although marriage could very much be in Fox and MGK’s future, a source told Entertainment Tonight that Fox isn’t quite ready for marriage with her “twin flame.”

“An engagement could be in Megan Fox and MGK’s future and same with having kids together. MGK definitely wants both of those things, but Megan is a little hesitant right now. In the meantime, they are constantly laughing together and always have the best time.”

March 2021

The couple made an appearance as they had a date night at the UFC 260 event in Las Vegas. They seemed to notice the cameras on them:

Ah, we do love a socially distanced celebrity-couple sighting.

April 2021

A source close to Fox told E! that Fox and MGK “plan to get engaged and married” and that the couple is “very much in love and have a strong and intense relationship…Her divorce is moving along, and they are hashing out custody details.”

For context, a separate source told E! in February that Fox’s ex, Brian Austin Green, was dragging out divorce proceedings. “Brian is definitely not making it easy or doing things quickly,” the source said. “Megan would like to wrap it up and get it finished as quickly as possible, but Brian is not exactly working with her on that.”

May 2021

Kelly and Fox had a big month of appearances—and potentially even bigger private talks about their future. A source told ET that the couple is “doing great,” and that the singer “would marry Megan in a heartbeat.” Fox, meanwhile, was “definitely in love” with Kelly but in no rush for that next step. “[She is] having a great time with where things are at now,” the source said. “She really takes her kids into consideration and knows that taking that next step would be a big adjustment, but it’s not off the table.”

On May 23, Fox and MGK attended the Billboard Music Awards together, where they were seen touching tongues (Kelly had a black tongue), being affectionate in front of the cameras, and just generally showing a lot of PDA.

Later that week, at the iHeartRadio Music Awards, they wore matching pink outfits. Fox was in a pink Barbie jumpsuit while Kelly matched her with a white suit embellished with a pink butterfly. Their PDA was more restrained this time compared to their previous date’s tongue touching:

“She came out after everyone was chanting ‘Megan’ for some time,” a source told E!. “Then she did stay on the stage in the background for the whole song.”

June 2021

The following month, Fox and Kelly were spotted sharing an intimate PDA moment for all to see. The two shared a kiss near a street in Sherman Oaks. Fox showed off her abs as she wore beige matching crop top and short set. Kelly wore a pink button down with light blue jeans paired with white sneakers.

Meanwhile, a source told Entertainment Tonight mid-month that the pair “are pretty inseparable” and are planning a serious future together.

“MGK would love to start a family with Megan someday, but right now doesn’t seem to be the time in terms of scheduling,” the source told the outlet. “As far as engagement goes, it is likely that this will happen sooner than later, and it has been a topic of conversation without question.”

The source continued, “their schedules are starting to get super busy again, so they just want to make sure that the timing is right since it would be a big step for both them and their families.”

July 2021

In an appearance on Fox 5 New York Fox shared the nicknames she calls MGK. Included on the list are: “Cookie,” “Buddha,” and “Booby.”

In a separate interview surrounding the release of her movie Till Death, Fox also shared with The Washington Post that she knew MGK was her “soulmate” as soon as they met:

“The first time I looked into his eyes, I was like…‘I know you. I have known you so many times, in so many different forms, in so many different lives.’ She told the publication that “wasn’t expecting it’d be like, ‘God, you are my soulmate,’ instantly.”

October 2021

Fox and Kelly were interviewed by British GQ in October and described their romance as “intense.”

“This is a very intense relationship,” Fox said. “Our souls chose this to absolutely have to face our shadow selves; to face things about ourselves we didn’t want to have to know, that we tried to push away.”

“It should be light [like first love], but also we go to hell with each other,” Kelly added. “It’s ecstasy and agony for sure… I don’t want people to think anything’s perfect with us. I didn’t say it was the darkest fairy tale for no reason. God help you if you would’ve met us last Saturday.”

January 2022

Machine Gun Kelly proposed to Fox under a banyan tree that was apparently pretty significant to their romance, according to a post on Instagram. In the caption, she explained the meaning of the location and admitted that after she accepted his hand in marriage, they drank each other’s blood.

On his Instagram MGK shared a photo of the emerald and diamond ring designed by jeweler Stephen Webster, saying it incorporated both of their birthstones.

In an interview later that month with Vogue during Dolce & Gabbana’s Milan show, Kelly revealed that the ring is designed so it hurts to take it off.

Kelly explained, “It’s a thoroughbred Colombian emerald, with no treatment. It was just carved into the teardrop, straight out of the mine. And the diamond was directly from Stephen [Webster]. The concept is that the ring can come apart to make two rings. When it’s together, it’s held in place by a magnet. So you see how it snaps together? And then it forms an obscure heart. And you see this right here? The bands are actually thorns. So if she tries to take it off, it hurts…”

“Love is pain!” he added.

February 2022

In February, Machine Gun Kelly made an appearance on The Late Late Show with James Corden to perform “Emo Girl” with Willow Smith. During an interview with the host, he said that he and Fox had been discussing their wedding theme.

MGK said he was “trying to find a spot” that worked for his “artistic” vision of the ceremony and reception. The couple wants to have a “red river” and “gothic” features, so naturally the “location is hard.”

“I change my opinions about things a lot,” MGK explained.

April 2022

Fox posted a loving tribute to MGK for his birthday along with an adorable pic of him giving her a piggyback ride against a glorious pink sunset.

The couple celebrated Fox’s birthday together, during which the actress had one special request for her man. In an interview by Entertainment Tonight‘s Denny Directo on the red carpet, Fox said, “My main request is always just no cell phones. So, whatever we do, wherever we go, I just want there to be no phones.”

July 2022

The couple was discussing potentially having more children. Fox has three children with her ex, Brian Austin Green, and MGK has one daughter from a previous relationship. A source told Entertainment Tonight that they are discussing “expanding their family one day.”

“Megan and MGK are pretty much done wedding planning. They are both totally on the same page, which has made things easy for them, but Megan is definitely pulling everything together and has the final say on what goes and what doesn’t,” the source explained. “They are so excited to spend the rest of their lives together, traveling the world, living in complete bliss and harmony, and potentially expanding their family one day.”

October 2022

You work harder than anyone I’ve ever known and are twice as talented. You deserve this.”

December 2022

Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly spent their Christmas Eve at Nobu in Malibu, and they were dressed for a fairy tale. The 36-year-old actress wore a white furry coat, with matching top top and ivory pants. She left her long hair down in gentle waves, and her fiancé wore a leopard print suit over a black t-shirt. He slicked his blonde hair back in a slight bouffant. It was their first Christmas spent together since their engagement.

February 2023

Things took a dramatic turn during Super Bowl weekend. Fox and Kelly attended a party Friday night, where they were affectionate. On Sunday, Fox suddenly unfollowed Kelly on Instagram and removed almost all their photos together, sparking breakup speculation.

She shared a post where she quoted the Beyoncé lyric, “You can taste the dishonesty/ it’s all over your breath,” from the artist’s 2016 Lemonade song, “Pray You Catch Me.” The album was about Jay-Z’s infidelity, leading fans to wonder if cheating was an issue for Fox and Kelly. Fox disabled her instagram shortly after her moves got media attention that day.

But before she deleted her account, Comments by Celebs took a screenshot of Fox responding to a comment where a fan suggested that Kelly potentially cheated on her with guitarist Sophie Lloyd. “He probably got with Sophie,” the fan wrote. Fox commented, “Maybe I got with Sophie.”

Lloyd’s management team later released a statement, saying the cheating rumors had no merit to them. “Sophie Lloyd is a professional, accomplished musician who has been needlessly dragged into the media based off of meritless accusations made by social media,” the team told Page Six in a statement. “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.”

A source told People shortly after Fox deleted her Instagram that the two were in a very rough spot. “[They] had a fight over the weekend,” the source said, noting that Fox is “very upset” and at that point, wouldn’t “speak to” Kelly.

“They haven’t officially called off the engagement but Megan took her ring off,” the source said. “They have had issues in the past, but things seem pretty serious this time.”

On Wednesday, February 15, a source told Entertainment Tonight that the two were working to repair things. “Megan and MGK have had ups and downs throughout their relationship, but at the end of the day, they have a lot of love for each other and a deep connection,” the source said. “They have very strong feelings for one another, so their emotions often come out in intense ways. They are working together with the goal of trying to mend things and move forward together.”

Fox attended the Vanity Fair Oscars party on her own, not wearing her engagement ring.

Sources made it clear to multiple outlets throughout the month that Kelly and Fox were still figuring their relationship out, and there’s work to be done before they can reconcile.

On March 15, a source told Us Weekly that “[Megan] isn’t sure where things stand with Colson [Kelly’s real name], and it’s complicated at the moment. They’re still working on their relationship because the love they had was the real deal. That’s not something that just goes away overnight. However, they would need to have a significant breakthrough to make things work. It’s all up in the air right now.”

People‘s source said on March 14 that most of their friends didn’t have a lot of faith they’d pull through. “They’re not completely done,” the source said. “They’re still trying to sort through things, but most of their friends think it is likely over. They’re just not ready to totally call it yet.”

On March 22, a source told Us that the two were off for now, “Megan and MGK are currently on a break but are still in contact. They are very hot and cold.”

“They have stalled wedding planning to work on their issues,” the source added. “Their relationship is pretty volatile at the moment. They are currently off, but still texting each other.”

May 2023

In May, MGK was on the red carpet for the Sports Illustrated’s Swimsuit issue launch, celebrating Fox’s cover photo. He did not walk with his girlfriend, but he did tell Entertainment Tonight the pic was “hot.”

A source told People that the couple is slowly rebuilding trust, but the wedding plans have come to a pause.

“They are slowly working on reconciling but he’s totally in the dog house still,” said the insider. “He’s doing whatever he can to get her back, and she’s making him work for it. It’s still an unhealthy dynamic though, and their friends just don’t see this lasting.”

After stating that the wedding planning “remains halted” they added, “He has a lot of proving himself to do, and he doesn’t want to give her up. He is great with her kids and super hands on. It’s a work in progress.”

June 2023

In June, a source told Entertainment Tonight that things were rapidly improving.

“MGK has been making a huge effort and is doing everything in his power to ensure their relationship is in a good place and that Megan is happy,” the source said.

On July 20, Us Weekly reported wedding plans were back on again. A source who said, “They’re on the right track again. They’ve had so much success in therapy together. As they start to trust each other, they’ve been talking about getting married again.”

Later that month, Fox spoke to WWD about her pain suffering a miscarriage with Kelly. “That experience was so much harder than I would’ve anticipated it being, and I’ve really analyzed ‘why was that? Why was that so difficult for me?’” she said. “Because when I was younger, I had an ectopic pregnancy, I’ve had other things that I’m not going to say because God forbid the world will be in an uproar. But I’ve been through other similar issues, but not with someone who I was so in love with.”

“And so that love element really made this miscarriage really tragic for me and left me with a lot of grief and a lot of suffering,” she continued. “So I put it into a lot of writing. He’s written about them in his albums as well, he wrote a couple of songs about the miscarriage. So it just felt like something that I could address publicly because it’s been addressed in one way through him, so I have a space to express as well.”

December 2023

On December 5 and 6, both People and Us Weekly ran reports from sources revealing that Fox and Kelly are going through another rough patch.

A source close to the couple told People yesterday that they “had yet another big fight. It’s always the same thing. They have severe trust issues in the relationship. It’s been rough, but [they’re] still trying to work through it.”

A second source who also knows them said, “They’re still on and off.”

Us Weekly’s source offered similar comments a day later: “Megan and Colson have had a very up and down relationship. They are great one day and then fighting with each other the next.”

“They love each other and have passion in droves, but that passion goes both ways,” the source continued. “They are still trying to work through their issues and work on how they communicate, but both of them have such fiery personalities it’s been a struggle.”

Kelly and Fox spent New Year’s Eve together, signaling they remain on as a couple. The pair was photographed in Aspen, Colorado, bundled up for the cold weather on New Year’s Eve.

February 2024

A source spoke to Entertainment Tonight on February 11 about how Kelly and Fox are managing their relationship. “Megan and Machine Gun Kelly have their ups and downs, as most couples do,” the source said. “They love so hard that sometimes things can be intense, but ultimately, they do their best to hear one another and better themselves. They both want a happy, loving, supportive, and honest relationship.”

They sought third-party help in order to help repair things: “Therapy and open communication play pivotal roles in their relationship dynamics, with the couple prioritizing constructive dialogue and personal growth,” the source said. “Seeking guidance from a trusted third party allows them to navigate challenges and strengthen their bond, fostering an environment where mutual understanding thrives.”

“They like to share their thoughts and feelings in a controlled environment with a trusted third party to ensure everyone is heard,” the source continued. “It’s also a good way for them to develop plans to ensure a healthy future as individuals and as a couple.

On February 12, Fox and Kelly had their first big night out of the year, attending a Super Bowl after-party together. They were photographed partying with Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce.

March 2024

On Monday, March 4, Fox and MGK touched down in Mexico for a romantic getaway. The couple stayed at an exclusive tropical resort and were photographed by paparazzi upon their arrival.

Fox wore a black sports bra with sweatpants and left her pink hair down with a middle part. Her rockstar boyfriend wore a white short-sleeve Stüssy sweatshirt with gray and white patterned pants, gold wire-rimmed glasses, and a red baseball cap with rhinestones, which he wore backwards.

Fox later spoke on Call Her Daddy in an episode released on March 20 and confirmed they previously called off their engagement.

She added that she doesn’t plan to share anymore about them in interviews. “I think that what I’ve learned from being in this relationship is that it’s not for public consumption,” Fox said. “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?’”

A source spoke to Us Weekly that same day and described the couple as “at a low moment right now” and still relatively on-off.

Another source speaking with People said, “One day they’re up, the next they’re down.”

They continued, “That intensity is still there nearly four years into their relationship, but that’s not necessarily ‘healthy.’ There are still a ton of trust issues between them and it’s very toxic…They can’t stay away from each other and there’s a lot of history there, but they also don’t know how to be in a healthy relationship. They’ll be totally fine, then days later get into a huge blowout fight and not talk for weeks, but then give in and be all lovey-dovey again.”

Of the engagement plans, the source said, “They never picked back up wedding plans or even got to a place where they could think about really getting married. It doesn’t seem like either wants to give the other up, even though they both know it’s not healthy.”

April 2024

Fox and MGK were seen dancing with each other at the Stagecoach Festival on Friday, April 26, during Jelly Roll’s set while hanging in the VIP section, according to TMZ. At one point, it appears that the singer is crooning to his date as they swayed together.

May 2024

Fox and MGK are reportedly “taking things one day at a time with their relationship,” according to a source speaking with Entertainment Tonight.

“They are continuing to go to therapy, be fully transparent with each other about their feelings, and have consistent communication,” the insider continued. “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.”

They added, “Overall, they’re doing their best to make things work and keeping their kids in mind as well. They are trying to keep their relationship issues as private as possible and protect their children from any drama or outside noise.”

July 2024

The pair were seen at Michael Rubin’s famous annual white party on the 4th of July in the Hamptons. Fox was wearing a short, body-hugging white sundress with a floral cutout pattern. She accessorized with a silver choker and her hair was dark brown and left down around her shoulders. MGK wore a white T-shirt, suspenders, and white pants plus a pair of silver-framed sunglasses.

In late July, Machine Gun Kelly and Jelly Roll released the music video for their track “Lonely Road” starring Fox as a pregnant woman who goes on to have a bay by the end of the story. There are several scenes of MGK caressing her baby bump and at the end they play with an infant girl, with the credits reading, “Introducing: Baby Violet Leika.”

Watch on

Some fans were excited by the suggestion that the couple were introducing their actual child and not a new baby performer. However, there is no sign that Fox has recently been pregnant nor disguised a pregnancy—only that she’s an excellent actress.

August 2024

Kelly credited Fox with helping him become fully sober after going to rehab last year. He said on Bunnie XO’s Dumb Blonde podcast, via Entertainment Tonight, “That woman struck a bullseye. When I felt that sense light up, everything else went away, and I learned what it was to accept living. It gave purpose to everything I was confused as to why I was here for. I’m forever grateful to God and indebted to the destiny lines that wove me and her together… When I saw her eyes for the first time, it was like I had a telescope to every secret in the universe. I think what followed that really proved what moving with love does.”

As he went on his sobriety journey, he said that Fox “has for sure been extremely helpful in dealing with the kind of psychological withdrawals that come with [getting off drugs].” He added, “I’ve just been really happy seeing everybody. I love that I’m clear when I look at the person I love.”
