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!

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.
