Megan Fox

**Megan Denise Fox** (born May 16, 1986) is an American actress and model. She is known for her appearance in the Transformers franchise, and on covers of magazines including *Maxim*, *Rolling Stone*, and *FHM*. She made her acting debut in the 2001 family film, *Holiday in the Sun*. She is currently engaged to Machine Gun Kelly.

MGK has also referenced Fox in his work, including in his nail lacquer brand with the shade named "Twin Flame" and the description for "Mary Jane" ('You smell like weed'). She also named the shade "25 to Life." The two dropped a nail polish collection in December 2022, which was inspired by Fox's "favorite crystal and gemstones."

The collaborative single with Willow Smith, "Emo Girl," opens with a line from *Jennifer's Body*, a 2009 movie Fox starred in. In his sixth studio album, the track "Twin Flame" is dedicated to her, including a phone call recording between the two in its interlude. She appeared in his directorial debut, *Good Mourning* (2022), the documentary *Life in Pink* (2022), and both starred in the film *Taurus* (2022).

## Relationship with Machine Gun Kelly

### 2020

According to sources, the two officially met in March 2020, on the set of Randall's movie, *Midnight in the Switchgrass*, in Puerto Rico. Colson Baker confessed in a podcast with *Give Them Lala... with Randall* that he would wait on the steps of his trailer, and hope "to catch one glimpse of eye contact" from Fox. He admitted he accepted the role in the film because of his scene with Fox. Megan described them in terms of astrology: "I knew right away that he was what I call a twin flame. 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]. 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." In an exclusive interview with *Nylon*, Fox told them, "I looked into his eyes [and] I felt the most pristine, most gentle, most pure spirit. My heart shattered immediately and I just knew that I was fucked."

Fox was married to Brian Austin Green, and later on May 18, 2020, Green confirmed in podcast that they split after ten years of marriage, separated since December 2019. Green explained he didn't "want people to think that her or he are villains, or I was a victim in any way with any of this because I wasn't" and mentioned that Baker and Fox were friends. He added, "It's not like we are separating or anything because somebody cheated or somebody hurt somebody. I feel like people are on paths in life [and] sometimes you're on the same path and you walk that path together and things are working, and then paths just kind of separate sometimes and it's not a choice that somebody makes, it's just, people sort of find new things that interest them and new directions that they want to take in life and the person that they're with may not be on that same path." The two agreed on a custody plan, and Fox filed for a divorce in November 2020.

Fox appeared in Baker's May 2020 music video, "Bloody Valentine," where Baker said, "That was when we were first falling for each other." In June, they were spotted holding hands and kissing by *TMZ*, publicly confirming their relationship. In September, Fox made a cameo appearance in his "Drunk Face" music video. Baker disclosed that Fox made him a "better" person. On November 23, they made their first red carpet appearance at the AMAs and revealed Fox's tattoo on her collarbone that says "el pistolero," translating to English as "gunfighter," which was thought to reference towards him.

### 2021

On January 1, 2021, they shared a kiss after his performance on *Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve*. Later in that month there were engagement rumors, where she was seen wearing a ring on her wedding finger, though this turned out to be false. Insider sources said, "Megan needs her divorce to be finalized before she can fully move on. She is very happy though."

Fox shared the first time she and Machine Gun Kelly met, at a *GQ* party in Los Angeles. She recalled, "I just remember this tall, blond, ghostly creature and I looked up and I was like, 'You smell like weed.' He looked down at me and he was like, 'I am weed.' Then, I swear to God, he disappeared like a ninja in a smoke bomb.'" Their exchange made its way into the form of an Internet meme of romantic sayings, that included captions over scenes of films like *Titanic* and *The Notebook*. Baker reported, "Even our first kiss, she wouldn't kiss me. We just put our lips right in front of each other and breathed each other's breath and then she just left." On the *Howard Stern* show, he said, "I didn't know what [love] was until me and her made eye contact. That's when I was like, 'Whoa.'" He continued, "After I made the big chunk of the album, I did fall in love for the first time. 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."

Baker's ex, Sommer Ray, raised cheating allegations during a March 2021 appearance on the *Impaulsive* podcast. She said, "never had sex with him... I make you wait at least three months. I have to make sure that you're someone good to me. So Colson just never passed the test" and "I don't really feel bad saying that because he did kind of cheat on me with Megan Fox." She added, "I waited in the hotel the whole time while he's filming with her and I'm not really thinking anything of it. I thought she was older and had kids and was married and stuff. I think they're a cute couple [...] I'm not mad about it. I want them [to have] the best."

### 2022

After a year and a half, on January 12, 2022, it was reported that the two got engaged the day before, on the 11th. It was under a banyan tree in Puerto Rico, the spot referencing back to a moment they shared in July 2020. The ring was designed with Stephen Webster, combining both of their birthstones, the emerald and the diamond. It was set in two bands of thorns that formed the shape of a heart. To *Vogue*, Baker 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. 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!" Experts estimated the ring was worth up to $500,000.

On the jeweler's Instagram post, it read:

>
> We were approached by Colson to create a very special ring that had true connections to both Megan and himself. During the creative process Colson had mentioned that Megan's birth stone is Emerald, which he wanted to incorporate in some way along with a Diamond, his birth stone. The resulting ring actually consists of two rings, which by the use of magnets buried within the Gold, are attracted to each other and sit together perfectly on the finger; a detail that is both modern and quite extraordinary."

Regarding her identity as a feminist, Fox stated to *Glamour*, "[It seems] I have to meet a certain requirement or follow all of these rules. It's very bizarre to get judged for, like, 'What if I am in a BDSM relationship? And I'm like, yes—is that OK with you? Because that's what I want.' So, I shouldn't be outcast from the feminist community, because that is something that I prefer for myself. I feel sexual power in that way, by experiencing it that way. I was being celebrated as being a feminist until I had the nerve to call my boyfriend, 'Daddy.' And a lot of people got upset about that, which I think is a funny conversation to actually have, because that goes into allowing women to be... women. Allowing us to experience what we want in life, what we like. That is feminism." She added about MGK, "He's literally my exact physical type that I've been manifesting since I was four. I'm also four years older than him. So, I think I made him. My thoughts and intentions grew him into the person that he is, who knows what he would've looked like or been like if it wasn't for me."

On May 22, 2022, they attended Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker's wedding.

When addressing her in public, Kelly calls Fox his wife, explaining, "I think when I speak about terminology it never felt like my girlfriend. It feels too adolescent for the depth of our relationship."

### 2023

On February 5, 2023, the two attended the Grammy Awards together, where MGK's album *Mainstream Sellout* was nominated for Best Rock Album.

On February 12, Fox posted a video to her Instagram with a caption quoting Beyoncé's "Pray You Catch Me" ('You can taste the dishonesty / It's all over your breath') and removed all of her other posts. This sparked rumors that the two had split up because of infidelity from MGK. She later clarified on February 19, "There has been no third party interference in this relationship of any kind. That includes, but is not limited to … actual humans, DMs, AI bots or succubus demons." *Us Weekly* reported that they had an argument at the pre-Super Bowl party in Arizona. A source informed them, "She was supposed to go to his performance at the *Sports Illustrated* party, but they had a fight and she canceled plans and flew out Saturday evening." This caused "a huge L.A. wedding ceremony" to be put on hold and a brief break during March, where they were still in contact but not together.

The couple were seen on a Hawaii getaway in April to "reconnect and work on their relationship."
