What’s Going on With Machine Gun Kelly and Megan Fox?
Specifically, is she still wearing the thorny ring?
Machine Gun Kelly and Megan Fox have let us into the most intimate moments of their relationship that began on a film set. Hell, they told us they’ve drank each other’s blood. Then, after four years of oversharing, they went suspiciously quiet about their romance. During an episode of Call Her Daddy in March 2024, Fox did not want to give an official status update on their relationship but did confirm their engagement was called off at some point. On November 11, Fox announced that she and MGK — who previously shared that they had lost a pregnancy — are expecting their first baby together. So, what’s going on with them? What happened to her thorny, painful engagement ring? Is it being made into a necklace with a less painful removal method? Let’s dive into the good and the bad blood of MGK and Fox’s relationship.
March 2020: The two met on the set of the crime thriller Midnight in the Switchgrass. Production was briefly shut down due to the pandemic, but their spark was too strong not to stay in touch while in lockdown.

January 17, 2022: The couple tells Vogue that the engagement ring is actually two rings, held together by magnets. The band has thorns on it, so it hurts for Fox to take it off. Well, now we know how they might’ve gotten the blood.
May 15, 2022: At the Billboard Music Awards, MGK sings “last november,” which contains lyrics about wishing he could “go back to November last year.” He dedicates the performance to “his wife” Fox and “unborn child,” but neither has specified what he exactly meant. They are not married, nor do they have children.
July 27, 2022: In MGK’s documentary Life in Pink, he details the difficult decision he made to get sober to stay in Fox’s and his daughter’s (from a previous relationship’s) life.

November 7, 2023: Fox publicly speaks for the first time about experiencing a miscarriage with MGK. “I have three kids, so it was very difficult for both of us,” she reflects on Good Morning America. “And it sent us on a very wild journey together and separately, and together and apart, and together and apart, and together and apart, trying to navigate, ‘What does this mean? Why did this happen?’” Fox adds that MGK was the one who encouraged her to write her new poetry book Pretty Boys Are Poisonous, which includes two poems about the pregnancy loss.
November 29, 2023: A Women’s Wear Daily describes MGK as Fox’s “current partner.” In reference to her pregnancy loss with MGK, Fox says that she’s been through similar issues before, “but not with someone who I was so in love with.”

March 22, 2024: A source close to the couple tells People that there are “a ton of trust issues between” Fox and MGK, adding that they “can’t stay away from each other” but also don’t know how to be in a healthy relationship.
