Megan Fox’s ex-husband Brian Austin Green has set the record straight regarding cheating allegations between the actress and her current boyfriend, Machine Gun Kelly.

The Transformers actress’ relationship with MGK has been a source of pop-culture fascination ever since they shacked up in 2020, with the on-off couple making headlines for ‘drinking’ each others blood, declaring themselves twin souls (whatever that means) and sharing pretty NSFW details about their romance.

However, the timeline of their relationship also attracted attention, with many fans speculating if there was any overlap between the end of Fox’s marriage to 90210 star Green, and the beginning of her relationship with the rapper (real name Colson Baker).

When did Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly begin dating?

The pair were first introduced while filming Midnight in the Switchgrass together alongside Bruce Willis and Emile Hirsch, and would go on to publicly confirm their romance in the summer of 2020.

However, there was been a little confusion amongst fans in regards to the beginning of their relationship, due to the fact that Fox was still married to Green at the time of shooting their crime thriller movie.

Production on Midnight in the Switchgrass would be halted in March 2020 due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Two months later, Green would confirm that he and Fox were separating after a decade of marriage during an episode of his podcast.

“We’ve had an amazing relationship and I will always love her and I know she’ll always love me,” Green said, adding that Fox had come to the realisation after spending time away on set.

One month later and Fox would be papped kissing the rapper, with Kelly later confirming their relationship in the July via a post on Instagram.

A short gap between the two relationships

Meanwhile Fox would wait until November 2020 before officially filing for divorce, with the separation being finalised the following May, 11 years after they originally wed.

The short gap between the end of her marriage and the beginning of her relationship with Kelly led many to wonder if infidelity had been a driving factor in the end of Fox and Green’s marriage.

However, the rumours were something which Green made sure to clarify on the same podcast episode, making it clear that ‘cheating’ did not cause their marriage to come to an end.

Fast forward four years and Green has now happily moved on with Dancing with the Stars professional Sharna Burgess. The pair welcomed their first child together in 2022, and announced their engagement a year later.

Meanwhile, Fox’s romance with MGK has gone through numerous highs and lows. The couple announced their engagement in January 2022, only to call it off a year later.

Fox and Kelly have since neither confirmed nor denied whether or not they are still together.

Megan Fox has made a ruthless statement following the end of her recent engagement to Machine Gun Kelly.

The actress made her feelings known during a live E! News segment with The Rundown host Erin Lim Rhodes during the Revolve Festival on Saturday 13 April.

The Transformers star became engaged to MGK in 2022, with the eccentric couple sharing a, let’s say, interesting relationship since they began dating in 2020.

With engagement rings that made them bleed when they took off, the pair seemed to be made for each other in the sense of how different they were from others.

But Fox then confirmed earlier this year that they did end their engagement in 2023, though she was not willing to expand on what their relationship is now.

The 37-year-old mum-of-three has stayed quiet on MGK, but seems to have made a slight dig in his general direction with this statement on E! News.

Fox enjoyed the clip so much in fact, that she uploaded it herself as a post on Instagram, garnering over 248k likes and thousands of comments, including some from some A-list celebrities.

In the clip, host Rhodes said to Fox: “We’ve got a lot of single ladies here who are having a single summer, and they need some advice from you.”

Fox replied: “I don’t know if I’m the best person to give advice, because my advice is like just learn a skill or develop a hobby, and do not waste your energy on boys.

“All they’re going to do is drain you. Just move on. Invest in yourself.”

The post was captioned ‘Life advice from a relationship expert’, and several noteworthy replies could be seen in the comments.

Ex-fiancé Machine Gun Kelly commented: “PREACH”.

Recently single Kim Kardashian also left a comment, saying: “Not No.”

But this didn’t seem to be a direct dig at MGK, as Fox was also asked about who her three ideal Coachella headliners would be, revealing: “Well, obviously, I have to say Machine Gun Kelly.

“I’m not in the modern era, so I would say, Guns N’ Roses or, you know who I would love to see, is Weezer. Weezer’s so fire.”

However, Fox has referred to Kelly as her ‘twin flame’ before, and interestingly put a post up on Instagram on Saturday sharing some snaps in the mirror, that was captioned ‘twin flames’, hinting at her not needing someone else.

Complicated relationship indeed.

Fox has previously stated on Alex Cooper’s Call Her Daddy podcast that her relationship with MGK is ‘not for public consumption’, and due to that, she didn’t have a comment on where they were at.

However, she also said: “What I can say is that 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. But all those things you said were accurate things that have occurred and I can see them being confusing or interesting to people and them being like, ‘What’s up?'”

I guess we’ll have to wait and see if they get back together and continue their romantic (I think?) ritualistic blood-drinking, having done that to celebrate their engagement in 2022.

We all promptly stopped hat shopping when Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly confirmed they had called off their engagement, as it seemed that the complex couple were over for good.

The Transformers actress scrubbed all traces of her fiancé – whose real name is Colson Baker – from her Instagram profile last year, while they were supposedly preparing to get hitched.

Fans had eagerly been waiting to see what a wedding between Fox and the rapper would look like, especially as their 2022 engagement was so…unique.

The pair announced that they had sipped on each other’s blood as a ‘ritual’ after MGK popped the question, while he also slipped a ring onto his bride-to-be’s finger which causes physical pain to take off. Romance, eh?

Fox then seemed to distance herself from the relationship and began showing up to events solo, before she confirmed that they had ended their engagement during an appearance on the Call Her Daddy podcast in March.

The film star kept the details to a minimum and said she didn’t want to spill anything else, as the ins and outs of her love affair with her ‘twin flame’ was ‘not for public consumption’.

Fox then appeared to be embracing single life as she partied at Coachella, while telling fans that they should ‘not waste their energy on boys’.

“All they’re going to do is drain you,” she added. “Just move on. Invest in yourself.”

Her ex-fiancé MGK even commented on the video saying, “PREACH”, so it seemed like the couple were definitely over.

But, the stars are now said to be ‘taking things one day at a time’ as they try and work out how they want to move forward, nearly two months after it was announced their engagement was off.

After being seen getting cosy and slow dancing at the Stagecoach Festival in Indio, California, last weekend together, it seems that sparks are flying once again between Fox and MGK.

A source told Entertainment Tonight that the pair are ‘continuing to go to therapy’ while working on being honest about their feelings and keeping up consistent communication.

The insider told the publication: “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.”

Fox is parent to children Noah, 11, Bodhi, 10, and Journey, 7, who she shares with ex-husband Brian Austin Green, while MGK has daughter Casie, 14, from a previous relationship – and the kids are a big part of the pair’s future plans.

“Overall, they’re doing their best to make things work and keeping their kids in mind as well,” the source added.

“They are trying to keep their relationship issues as private as possible and protect their children from any drama or outside noise.”

LADbible has contacted Fox and MGK’s reps for comment.

Fans of Machine Gun Kelly are going to have to stop calling him Machine Gun Kelly after the singer appears to have changed his name.

The musician’s real name is Colson Baker, but that’s not what you’ll be expected to call him if his new name catches on.

See, the trouble with someone like Baker going around with a new name like Machine Gun Kelly is that it’s a pretty recognisable name and becomes hard to shift.

However, some of his fans ought to have little trouble getting used to his new name since it was their idea for him to change it.

Yes, according to Cosmopolitan this all happened because at one of his shows some fans held up banners saying ‘change your name’ and it sounds like the artist formerly known as Machine Gun Kelly has agreed.

The singer was spotted at GQ’s Men of the Year party asking reporters if they could call him by his new name as well, while he’s also declared it on social media so it looks like the name is here to stay.

According to Cosmo the singer spotted the ‘change your name’ signs at one of his shows and said: “I have no idea what that sign means.”

The fans who brought the signs told him: “We want you to change your name. We want to take out the ‘Machine Gun’ so we don’t glorify machine guns. Just take out the ‘Machine Gun.'”

He threw the issue out to the rest of the crowd and their reported roars of approval for the name change mean that the singer now just wants to go by the name ‘Machine’.

It explains his recent Instagram activity where he posted pictures of himself captioned with the word ‘Machine’ alongside an emoji of someone speaking.

Machine then posted the same on X, though his social media handles are still @machinegunkelly for both platforms.

However, someone’s got that handle on both social media spaces so he probably couldn’t change it even if he wanted to.

At GQ’s party he asked photographers: “I have a question, instead of ‘Machine Gun’ can you just hit me with the ‘Machine’ from now on?”

So that’s his new name, don’t call him Colson Baker or Machine Gun Kelly, from now on it’s just Machine.

As for the reason why he initially took on his famous name, he said it was ‘because of my rapid fire delivery when I was 15 and started doing shows’.
