March 2020: Megan Fox and MGK Meet

Sparks first flew between Fox and MGK on the set of their 2021 movie, "Midnight in the Switchgrass." Megan recalled the special moment [18] in a podcast interview with Lala Kent and Randall Emmett on "Give Them Lala . . . With Randall."

According to Fox, she had a feeling that something would eventually happen between them from the moment she found out he had signed up for the film. "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' because I knew — I could feel that some wild sh*t was gonna happen to me from that meeting, but I wasn't yet sure what," she explained. "I just felt it like, deep in my soul that something was going to come from that. So then, we met on set."

And that's when Fox knew immediately that MGK was her "twin flame." "I was in a room with him and said hello to him and looked into his eyes . . . I knew right away that he was what I call a twin flame," she explained. "Instead of a soulmate, 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, so I think it was the second day, 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."

"I will always love her," he said. "And I know she will always love me and I know as far as a family, what we have built is really cool and really special . . . She met this guy, Colson, on set . . . I've never met him . . . Megan and I have talked about him. They're just friends at this point . . . I don't want people to think her or he are villains or that I was a victim in any way."

He continued, "It sucks when life changes and something that you're used to, that you've been doing for 15 years, you try and not get rid of but you change. There's the unknown aspect . . . there's that pit in my stomach . . . 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."
