Fox's 2023 Met Gala absence may not be a surprise if you've been following her relationship drama with Machine Gun Kelly this year. The pair reportedly went through a rough patch after breakup rumours swirled in early February. People noted, per sources, that the two had a dispute during Super Bowl weekend. "They haven't officially called off the engagement, but Megan took her ring off," an insider told the outlet, adding that while the couple "have had issues in the past, things seem pretty serious this time."
Though Foxx and Kelly were photographed smiling and holding hands during an April trip to Hawaii, according to photos published by the Daily Mail, the current status of their relationship remains unclear.
The two haven't attended the Met Gala together before, but Fox made her solo debut at the event in 2021.
