Everything Machine Gun Kelly and Megan Fox Have Said About Their Relationship, Including Engagement

Loud and Proud

On June 15, MGK confirmed they were official. “I’m calling you girlfriend, what the f–k.’ Life imitated art on that one,” he wrote in a tweet.

Romantic Outing

Two days later, he shared a cryptic message on his Instagram Stories that read, “in love.” A brunette woman could be seen sitting with him on a blanket covered in roses, fueling speculation it was Megan in the snap. 

Playing Coy

The performer blushed and got flustered while talking about their collaboration in a new interview with Radio.com. He agreed it was a “great work experience” on “Bloody Valentine.” 

“I was playing Megan a lot of the Tickets to My Downfall songs,” he said on June 25. “I don’t know … I had to … I had made the call the day before the video and I was like, ‘Can you come over?’ and then we shot the video.”

Foot Fetish?

During a behind-the-scenes Q&A with Teen Vogue, the artist spoke about the moment Meg put her foot on his face during the music video. “I was like, ‘Megan, you already know what I’m about to ask you.’ And she was like, ‘Yeah, I literally got a pedicure just ’cause I knew you were gonna ask me that.’ So I was like, ‘All right. Well, plop it on,’” he said. “It’s no secret. I think feet are beautiful. And I think Megan has the most beautiful feet that exist.”

Love at First Sight

During MGK and Megan’s first interview as a couple, the rapper revealed he used to gaze at Megan from afar on the set of their latest film. He said he would wait outside of his trailer “every day … to catch one glimpse of eye contact” with the brunette beauty. “She would have to get out of her car. There were like, five steps between the car and the trailer. And I would just sit there and hope.”

“Waited for eternity to find you again … 🔪💫❤️🔪,” the rapper captioned his first Instagram post featuring his new girlfriend.

On August 5, it was Megan’s turn to share her first photo of the couple on her Instagram grid.

“Achingly Beautiful Boy… My heart is yours 🔪♥️🔪,” she captioned their selfie.

Jam Session

“Who’s coming to the Concert for Aliens??” MKG captioned a video of the pair rockin’ out on August 6.

Foodies Together

The rapper dished about her favorite late-night foods during an August 13 interview with Will from 104.3 The Shark and RADIO.com. “[Megan is] probably ordering sushi. She eats super healthy. Everything is gluten-free and organic on her menu,” MGK said.

Only Eyes for Megan

On August 14, the rapper was featured on an episode of Thirst Tweets for BuzzFeed Celeb, where he responded to fans’ flirty messages to him.

One fan wrote, “Machine Gun Kelly I just wanna let you know am free this Sunday to go on a date just let me know if ur [sic] free Sunday cause I am free and would like to take you on a date.”

He hinted at his relationship with Megan and turned the fan down. “I’m locked in already right now. No dates for me. Probably ever,” he said.

The rapper also made sure his taken status was known when responding to another tweet. “I would let Machine Gun Kelly suck my toes maybe,” a fan wrote. MGK replied, “Like I said, I’m only sucking one pair of toes.”

Rockin’ Out

“Just heard ‘Bloody Valentine’ on the radio for the first time!!!” MGK captioned a video of Megan jamming to the song on September 17. “#TicketsToMyDownfall drops in 8 days.”

Love at First Sight

MGK revealed Megan is his first true love during an interview with Howard Stern on September 23. “I didn’t know what [love] was until me and her made eye contact,” he said. “That’s when I was like, ‘Whoa.'”

“After I made the big chunk of the album, I did fall in love for the first time,” Kelly revealed. “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.” He went on to say it was “love at first sight” for him.

However, he did admit to one downside of the relationship: the attention. “My house isn’t gated, you know? So that’s the one problem,” he said. “Everyone knows where my house is, so it’s like this odd moment, where I was kinda living my life super normal and the next day, there were paparazzi outside my house every day.”

Hubba-Hubba

OK, sure, this may not be a quote, but their, ahem, actions speak volumes in this screenshot from MGK’s music video “Drunk Face,” released on September 29.

Another Level

The couple had lots to say about one another in an interview with Nylon in November 2020. “Love is not what’s being encouraged now. In fact, it’s exactly the opposite: Everything now is isolation, dehumanization, separation,” said MGK. “And f–k, dude, you have in your head that you’re this rock star, with multiple women and all that. So finding someone that can take you out of the fast lane and make sure that you’re safe, because at any minute you can crash — I love that it can evolve into that.”

Megan is just as passionate about the relationship. “He looks to me to avoid his own self-destructive tendencies, and that’s where I’m useful because on his own and left to his own devices, I don’t know how much interest he has in caring for himself,” she said. “Loving him is like being in love with a tsunami or a forest fire.”

New Ink?

Megan seemingly debuted a new tattoo on her collarbone that read, “el pistolero,” which is the Spanish word for “the gunman,” during the American Music Awards on November 22. Fans hypothesized this was MGK’s nickname.

Staying Clean

Following their red carpet debut, Machine Gun Kelly revealed Megan is doing more than putting a smile on his face these days — she’s helping him stay clean.

“Currently, my drug of choice is happiness and commitment to the art, rather than commitment to a vice that I believed made the art,” he told friend Dave Franco for Interview magazine on November 27, 2020. “I’m taking steps.”

Say What?

On Valentine’s Day 2021, MGK revealed to fans, “I wear your blood around my neck,” and showed off a necklace that did, in fact, appear to be Megan’s blood.

Teenage Dream

In a July 2021 profile with GQ, MGK admitted he had a poster of Megan in all her Transformers glory in his room as a teenager. The writer of the profile, Wesley Lowery, who attended high school with the rapper, revealed that his school friend always loved Megan.

The journalist explained that MGK was “the teenager who got the Decepticons logo from Transformers tattooed on his arm.” The “Till I Die” singer even “hung a poster of Megan Fox in his bedroom.”

‘Two Halves of the Same Soul’

MGK got down on one knee and proposed to Megan on January 11, 2022. He explained next to a video showing off the actress’ stunning engagement ring on her finger, “Yes, in this life and every life. Beneath the same branches we fell in love under, I brought her back to ask her to marry me. I know tradition is one ring, but I designed it with Stephen Webster to be two: the emerald [her birth stone] and the diamond [my birth stone] set on two magnetic bands of thorns that draw together as two halves of the same soul forming the obscure heart that is our love,” adding the date, “1-11-2022.”

‘I Said Yes’

The couple dropped news of their engagement at the same time on Instagram. In Megan’s post, she shared video of his proposal and her loving reaction. “In July of 2020 we sat under this banyan tree. We asked for magic,” she began in the caption.

“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 continued.

“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, I said yes,” the actress concluded.
