Your support makes all the difference.Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly have reportedly ended their relationship, just weeks after announcing they were expecting their first child together.
According to TMZ, the couple parted ways during a trip to Vail, Colorado, over Thanksgiving weekend, where tensions reached a boiling point. The outlet claimed the split stemmed from Fox discovering something upsetting on the rapper’s phone, prompting her to ask him to leave the trip early. Following his departure, the pair are allegedly no longer together.
Insiders shared with Us Weekly that the two had been trying to mend their relationship, especially in light of Fox’s pregnancy, but their fiery personalities led to renewed conflict. “They broke up in late November,” a source revealed, adding that while they are “done for now,” reconciliation down the line remains a possibility.
The Independent has contacted Fox and Machine Gun Kelly’s representatives for comment.
Their split comes less than one month after the Transformers star revealed that she and the musician are expecting.
In a photo carousel posted to Instagram on November 11, Fox could be seen holding a positive pregnancy test for the camera in one snap and cradling her baby bump covered in black liquid in another. She captioned the photos with lyrics from Kelly’s song, “last november,” which touched upon the couple’s past miscarriage.
She added: “Nothing is ever really lost. Welcome back.”
This will be Fox’s fourth child and Kelly’s second. She shares three sons — Noah, 12, Bodhi, 10, and Journey, eight — with ex-husband Brian Austin Green. Meanwhile, Kelly — whose real name is Colson Baker — shares a daughter, Casie, 15, with ex-partner Emma Cannon.
The couple first crossed paths in March 2020 on the set of Midnight in the Switchgrass. They went public with their relationship shortly after, when Fox starred in Kelly’s “Bloody Valentine” music video in May that year. The couple was engaged by January 2022.
In November 2023, Fox shared her experience with miscarriage through two poignant poems in her book Pretty Boys Are Poisonous. During an interview with Good Morning America about the collection, Fox reflected on navigating the loss with her fiancé by her side.
“I’ve never been through anything like that in my life,” she recalled. “I have three kids, so it was very difficult for both of us and it sent us on a very wild journey together and separately… trying to navigate: ‘What does this mean?’ and ‘Why did this happen?’”
