Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly (MGK) have long been a subject of public fascination. Their intense romance, engagements, heartbreaks, and co-parenting realities have kept fans and media closely watching.
As of August 2025, the duo’s relationship status remains intriguingly ambiguous. Are they a couple again or just navigating co-parenting? Here’s an updated look at their journey, key moments, and what their latest public appearances suggest.
Meeting and Early Romance: From Co-Stars to Love
Megan Fox and MGK (real name Colson Baker) first crossed paths on the set of the crime thriller Midnight in the Switchgrass in March 2020. At the time, Megan was still married to actor Brian Austin Green, with whom she shares three sons—Noah (12), Bodhi (11), and Journey (8). Shortly after filming, Fox and Green separated, with Brian publicly confirming their split in May 2020 after 10 years of marriage.
It did not take long for Megan and MGK’s professional connection to blossom into romance. By mid-2020, they were publicly confirming their relationship. MGK described his feelings for Fox as a first true love during a radio interview, and Fox affectionately called MGK her “twin flame” during their first joint interview on the Give Them Lala podcast the same year. Their chemistry translated into multiple public appearances, music videos, and headline-making moments, including MGK’s hit “Bloody Valentine” featuring Fox in the video.
Engagement and High-Profile Moments
The couple got engaged in January 2022, a milestone celebrated with passion and public affection. They made several steamy red carpet appearances together, including a much-discussed show-stopping moment at the 2023 Grammys.
By this time, MGK was a well-established name in music, known for his album Tickets to My Downfall that debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and boasted millions of streams worldwide. Megan herself maintained her A-list status with notable roles in franchises like Transformers, attracting tens of millions of Instagram followers (Fox’s IG following was approximately 18 million, MGK’s about 32 million as of mid-2025).
Breakups, Pregnancy, and the Baby Saga
Despite public passion, the couple has had a notably tumultuous relationship. In late 2024, following the announcement of Megan’s pregnancy in November, cracks deepened. The split reportedly stemmed from trust issues—Megan discovered troubling text messages on MGK’s phone during a holiday trip in Vail, Colorado. By December 2024, they were officially separated.
Nonetheless, they welcomed their first child together, daughter Saga Blade Fox-Baker, born March 27, 2025. The arrival of little Saga has shifted their dynamic immensely, pushing them toward co-parenting priorities amidst personal differences.
The Costa Rica Vacation: Mixed Signals and a “We’ll See” Relationship
In July 2025, Megan Fox and MGK were spotted together in Costa Rica, sparking renewed rumors about their status. Sources say the trip marked a significant step in trying to “work things out” but with no labels currently applied. The vibes were described as “back to normal” but cautious. They remain technically separated with a lot of history and love still present, as MGK himself highlighted by crediting Megan’s strength and effort in their relationship.
Megan, known for being strong-willed, is reportedly standing her ground, refusing to let MGK fully back into her life just yet although they share intimacy and a deep emotional connection. Their focus appears to be centered on Saga and building a positive environment for parenting rather than rekindling a formal relationship at this moment.
Co-Parenting and Moving Forward
Megan Fox is a mother of four, balancing her three sons with ex Brian Austin Green and her daughter with MGK. She emphasizes raising her children in an open-minded, gender-neutral environment, and despite the challenges in her personal life, motherhood remains her top priority. MGK, who has a teenage daughter with ex Emma Cannon, has stepped up as a father, frequently seen helping care for Saga.
Public appearances, social media updates, and interviews by both Megan and MGK reflect a mutual respect and commitment to co-parenting. MGK has praised Megan publicly for her dedication to motherhood and the family they share.
Conclusion: A Complicated but Hopeful Chapter
Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly’s relationship in 2025 is a blend of complexity and cautious optimism. They are not officially together but are engaged in an evolving connection shaped by parenthood, past passions, and ongoing trust-building. Their Costa Rica trip and recent interactions suggest possibilities but also clear boundaries.
While fans await further clarity, Megan and MGK appear focused on co-parenting with love and care for their daughter Saga. This story is undoubtedly far from over, making their next moves highly anticipated in the celebrity world.
