Megan Fox has started a new chapter in her dating life. Months after separating from her husband of more than a decade Brian Austin Green, the actress has found new love with musician/actor Machine Gun Kelly (real name: Colson Baker). After meeting on a movie set earlier this year, the pair has been spotted on several dates and even co-starred in a music video together. Below, a breakdown of Fox and Kelly’s early days as a couple, including the drama surrounding their latest Instagram post.

March 2020

Fox, 34, and Kelly, 30, met earlier this year on the set of the upcoming indie thriller Midnight In The Switchgrass. Deadline reported that the film’s production in Puerto Rico shut down after two weeks due to the coronavirus pandemic. A source told E! News that the co-stars had “been hanging out a lot since their movie was shutdown,” adding, “The down time has been good for them…They are intrigued by each other and having a lot of fun.”

Rumors of romance between Kelly and Fox began when the DailyMail published photos of the pair grabbing takeout together in Calabasas. The outing came amid rumors that she was quarantining separately from her longtime husband, Green. Both had been spotted without their wedding rings in recent months.

The next day, Green posted a cryptic message to Instagram, marking his wife’s birthday.
“Eventually butterflies get bored sitting on a flower for too long,” he wrote alongside a photo of a butterfly on a flower. “They start feeling smothered. It’s a great big world and they want to experience it.”

Three days later, the Beverly Hills 90210 alum confirmed that he and Fox have been on a break since December 2019, via his …with Brian Austin Green podcast. “She said, ‘I realized when I was out of the country working alone that I feel more like myself and I liked myself better during that experience and I think that might be something worth trying for me,'” he recalled Fox telling him. “I was shocked and I was upset about it, but I can’t be upset at her because she didn’t ask to feel that way. It wasn’t a choice she made, that’s the way she honestly felt.”

He also addressed recent photos of Fox and Kelly out together. “I’ve never met him, but Megan and I have talked about him,” Austin said. “They’re friends at this point, and from what she’s expressed, he’s a really nice, genuine guy, and I trust her judgment.”

Green and Fox share three sons, Noah, 7; Bodhi, 6; and Journey, 3. The former couple began dating in 2004 and split in 2006 before getting married in 2010. They filed for divorce in 2015, but reconciled ahead of their third son’s birth in 2016.

“I will always love her, and I know she will always love me, and I know as far as a family, what we built is really cool and really special,” Brian explained, later adding, “I really don’t want Megan and I to be at odds. She’s been my best friend for 15 years, and I don’t want to lose that.”

A source from Fox’s camp spoke to E! about her relationship with Kelly. “Megan has been working on a movie with Machine Gun Kelly and gotten close to him. They are hooking up and have been for a little while,” the insider said. “She is separated from Brian Austin Green, and they are taking time apart as a couple. She has something going on with Machine Gun Kelly that she is excited about.”

Then, Kelly released the music video for “Bloody Valentine,” the first single off of his upcoming album. Fox starred in the video as Kelly’s domineering girlfriend, sharing an almost-kiss with the musician and stoking further speculation about their relationship.

Nearly a month later, the Daily Mail published photographs of Fox and Austin holding hands and kissing after a night spent at Mr. Furley’s Bar in Sherman Oaks, California. The couple’s public date night came one day after Green was seen having lunch at a Mexican restaurant in Los Angeles with model Courtney Stodden by TMZ.

Later that day, Kelly seemed to allude to his new relationship, tweeting a lyric from “Bloody Valentine.” “I’m calling you girlfriend, what the f*ck.’ Life imitated art on that one,” he wrote.

A source told E! that although Fox may be moving on, Green “isn’t filing for divorce yet,” adding, “He wants to give Megan space and is hopeful they will find their way back to one another. It’s been hard to see her get back out in the dating world, but he is trying to fill his time with his kids and friends.”

June 17, 2020

The next day, Us Weekly reported that Kelly and Fox were officially dating. “Megan and MGK have gotten more serious and are officially dating and referring to one another as boyfriend and girlfriend,” a source told the outlet. “They’re enjoying spending more and more time together and have a strong connection.”

A source told E! News that this relationship is “new and exciting for Megan” and that she’s spending time with Kelly whenever Brian has the kids. The insider continued, “She has only been with Brian for many years, and this is very different. She’s into it.”

June 23, 2020

More than a month after their first public outing, Fox and Kelly appear to be going strong. The Daily Mail ran photographs of the couple leaving dinner at Soho House in West Hollywood, on Tuesday, June 23. Earlier that day, Kelly shared photos of his and Fox’s matching “Bloody Valentine”-inspired manicures on his Instagram Story, via Us Weekly.

The couple was seen at Los Angeles International Airport and spotted sharing a kiss, which The Sun captured in these photos.

July 22, 2020

Fox and Kelly gave their first joint interview on Lala Kent and Randall Emmett’s podcast, Give Them Lala … With Randall. Randall directed the couple in Midnight in the Switchgrass and Fox recalled her initial thoughts when she discovered Kelly was cast. “I was like, ‘Who is going to play this role?’ And he was like, ‘Oh, we just got Machine Gun Kelly,’ and immediately, I was like, ‘Uh oh,'” Fox said, via Entertainment Tonight.

“Because I knew—I could feel that some wild shit was going to happen to me from that meeting, but I wasn’t yet sure what. I just felt it like, deep in my soul—that something was going to come from that,” she added.

After meeting on set and filming for two days, Fox said she felt an astrological connection between them. “I knew right away that he was what I call a twin flame,” she recalled. “Instead of a soul mate, a twin flame is actually where a soul has ascended into a high enough level that it can be split into two different bodies at the same time. So we’re actually two halves of the same soul, I think. And I said that to him almost immediately, because I felt it right away.”

“I think it was the second day [of filming],” she continued. “I asked him to come into my trailer for lunch, and I put him through all of this astrology stuff. I went deep right away. I knew before I even did his chart, I said to him, he has a Pisces moon. I could tell by his energy.”

All of the astrological talk ensued because the couple got a reading from astrologist Susan Miller during the podcast. Miller said the pair appeared destined to be married, although Fox clarified, “We’re not engaged or anything like that.” But when the astrologist said Kelly was meant to marry someone who is “happy, or it could be a scholar,” he replied, “Yeah, Megan is always really happy.”

The pair of more than two months went Instagram official a week later. Kelly was the first to post a photo, sharing a black-and-white mirror selfie of the couple sticking their tongues out. He captioned the picture, “waited for eternity to find you again … 🔪💫❤️🔪” As if that wasn’t passionate enough, Kelly tagged “The Universe” as their location.

And although she disabled comments on the post, that didn’t stop her ex from weighing in. Green copied Fox’s caption, posting his own photos of his four sons, including his three with Fox, on Instagram and Twitter. “Achingly beautiful boys…… My heart is yours,” he wrote alongside headshots of sons Kassius, 18; Noah, 7; Bodhi, 6; and Journey, 4.

Green’s shade comes two days after he spoke on the Hollywood Raw podcast about co-parenting with Fox. “I think for us…the realization of that we can’t take the view that it won’t affect the kids, because it will,” he said, via E!. “I think it’s up to us, and parents in general, how it affects your kids…whether it’s a really negative experience for them or it’s ok and they feel safe in it and they feel loved…and they feel like, you know, everyone still loves and respects everyone, things are just different. But, it’s not bad different, it’s just different.” He added, “I wish Megan the absolute best in everything. I want her to be completely happy for her and for the kids. That’s super important.”
