Megan Fox Machine Gun Kelly Relationship Timeline

1 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 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."

When photos of Fox and MGK hanging out began making the rounds, Green confirmed that he and his ex had separated after 10 years of marriage back in December 2019. During an episode of his ". . . With Brian Austin Green" podcast titled "Context," Green revealed that he and Fox have "really been trying to sort of be apart."

"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."

On 28 June, 2022, MGK released his documentary "Life in Pink," which provided new insights into the pair's relationship. In it, MGK opened up about struggling with drug abuse and attempting suicide while on the phone with Fox. "I kept getting paranoid that someone was gonna come and kill me," he said. "I would always sleep with a shotgun next to my bed, and like, one of the days, I just f*cking snapped. I called Megan, I was like, 'You aren't here for me.' I'm in my room and I'm like freaking out on her and dude, I put the shotgun in my mouth and I'm yelling on the phone and like the barrel's in my mouth. I go to cock the shotgun and the bullet as it comes back up, the shell just gets jammed. Megan's like dead silent."

At the premiere, Fox told Entertainment Tonight that she and MGK had done intensive therapy after what happened. "We've found a therapist that really works for us, couples and individually, and it's definitely a process; it's not an easy one," she said at the time.
