Machine Gun Kelly and Megan Fox Now: Inside Their Journey From Split to Slow Reconciliation

MGK and Megan Fox have had one of the most closely watched — and turbulent — relationships in recent memory. After splitting in late 2024 while Fox was pregnant with their first baby together, the pair have slowly but steadily found their way back to each other, with sources telling Luxury Handbag Shopping they are now “closer than ever.”

MGK and Fox have had an on-off relationship since meeting on the set of Midnight in the Switchgrass in March 2020. At the time, Fox was married to Brian Austin Green, with whom she shares kids Noah, Bodhi and Journey. (Green announced their separation later that year.)

Luxury Handbag Shopping reported in June 2020 that Fox and MGK were “officially dating.” The “Bloody Valentine” singer proposed to Fox in January 2022, but they never made it down the aisle.

Here’s a comprehensive look at where the couple stand today, how their daughter brought them back together and the milestones along the way:

A Baby Changes Everything

MGK and Fox are on the road to full reconciliation after welcoming their baby girl, a source exclusively told Us in August 2025.

“They are in a really good place and are on the path to getting back together,” the insider said, noting that the duo’s daughter, Saga, “has brought them closer.”

Us previously confirmed that MGK and Fox parted ways romantically after announcing the actress’ pregnancy in November 2024. But since their daughter was born in March 2025, the pair have been spotted spending more time together, including taking a trip to Costa Rica.

“Things are going really well and they have reconnected in a meaningful way,” the source told Us, adding, “They are basically back together, as they have been spending every night together with the baby.”

Although coparenting their daughter has brought them closer, the insider said MGK and Fox “aren’t putting a label on their relationship” because that would add “extra stress.”

The Transformers actress “likes things to be fluid with them so it allows her freedom in case MGK does something she doesn’t approve of,” according to the source, who noted that Fox “doesn’t want to get her heart broken again and hasn’t fully let her guard down.”

The Costa Rica Trip That Signaled a Shift

Fox and MGK’s trip to Costa Rica in the summer of 2025 marked a visible turning point, though sources cautioned it didn’t mean they were officially back together.

“Things feel back to ‘normal’ between them, but they are not putting a label on their relationship,” a source exclusively told Us in August 2025.

The on-again, off-again couple were spotted flying to the Central American country with Saga in photos obtained by TMZ in July 2025.

“They’re still being intimate and technically trying to work things out to reconcile,” a second insider explained. “This trip is a big stepping stone in that direction.”

MGK Steps Up as a Father

Through it all, MGK has proven himself to be a family man.

“Seeing him be with their baby girl has brought them closer together,” the first source added of the “Cliché” singer. “They are spending a lot of time under one roof, and Megan does let him stay at her house to help her with the baby. It has been a team effort, and he has stepped up.”

The update came four months after a source close to Fox exclusively told Us that there had been a “noticeable change” in the Jennifer’s Body star’s romance with MGK since expanding their family.

“The baby is already wrapped around [MGK’s] finger,” the source explained in April 2025. “Megan has noticed his energy is different, the look in his eyes is different, his aura has changed. She feels the baby is exactly what he needed, and she is hoping it sticks.”

MGK Calls Fox ‘The Greatest Partner’

MGK proved that he and Fox are a united front.

During an interview on The Jennifer Hudson Show in September 2025, MGK called Fox the “greatest partner” to have a child with.

“She’s such a phenomenal mom,” MGK told Hudson of Fox. “We go back and forth on who [Saga] looks like. Last month, she looked exactly like me, and now she looks exactly like her.”

‘Closer Than Ever’ by the Holidays

By November 2025, Fox and MGK’s relationship had come a long way since welcoming their baby girl — and they were putting the focus on family.

“Their baby girl is their top priority, and she’s brought them closer than ever,” a source exclusively told Us. “They’re in a much stronger place than they were even six months ago, and Megan says their baby has given her a sense of peace and healing.”

Ahead of their first holiday season with baby Saga, Fox and the Grammy nominee were putting their family first.

“They are planning on spending the holidays together and are working toward getting back together. They want to be unified as the holidays approach and want to make their family dynamic harmonious,” the insider said. “He’s made mistakes and they are hoping to get back to where they were. They want their family dynamic to work.”

Fox “loves planning Christmas activities with the kids,” the first source added, sharing that she couldn’t wait to incorporate baby Saga into their family traditions. “She normally goes all out for the holidays and MGK will be included this year,” the source told Us.

Fox’s Instagram Return Sparks Fresh Buzz

After a one-year hiatus, Fox delighted fans — and MGK — by returning to Instagram.

Commenting on Fox’s debut post — a carousel of photos posted on Tuesday, March 3, that captured the actress in a black thong and black T-shirt — MGK wrote, “Stoked I have your phone number,” a response which attracted more than 14,000 “likes” and more than 300 fan replies.
