Megan Fox and Colson Baker, a.k.a. Machine Gun Kelly, are about to be parents (again). The pair met on the set of a movie in 2020 while Fox was still married to Brian Austin Green (they had quietly separated back in 2019) and quickly became one of Hollywood’s most ostentatious couples. And now they’re expecting their first child together!
From music video cameos to a bloodthirsty engagement to a very cryptic Instagram post, here is Megan Fox and MGK’s complete relationship timeline…so far.
2020
March 2020: Fox and Baker meet early in 2020 while filming Midnight In the Switchgrass, but things reportedly start heating up after production shuts down due to COVID-19. “They’ve been hanging out a lot since their movie was shut down,” a source told E! News in June. “The downtime has been good for them…. They are intrigued by each other and having a lot of fun.”
May 2020: After photos surfaced of Fox and MGK, the actor’s husband of 10 years confirms their split. Green said the breakup had happened after Fox returned from filming a project in late 2019. “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 said on his podcast, per People. “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. We talked about it a little more and said, ‘Let’s separate for a bit’…and so we did.” He went on to say the couple is still friends and that “we’ve had an amazing relationship and I will always love her and I know she’ll always love me.”
Later in May, Fox starred in the official Machine Gun Kelly music video for “Bloody Valentine,” fueling more rumors.
June 2020: Baker quotes a “Bloody Valentine” lyric in a tweet, writing “‘I’m calling you girlfriend, what the fuck,’” noting that “life imitated art on that one.”
The pair were later spotted holding hands in photos from June 25.
July 2020: In their first joint interview, Fox says she felt a deep connection between them by day two of filming. “I knew right away that he was what I call a twin flame,” she says on Lala Kent and Randall Emmett’s podcast, Give Them Lala … With Randall, per Entertainment Tonight. “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,
