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.
