The status of Megan Fox’s relationship with onetime fiancé Machine Gun Kelly isn’t clear, and she plans on keeping it that way. She did, however, confirm during her Wednesday (March 20) appearance on Alex Cooper’s Call Her Daddy podcast that their engagement was called off at some point last year, although the rapper will always be her “twin soul.”
“I think that what I’ve learned from being in this relationship is that it’s not for public consumption,” she told Cooper. “I think, as of now, I don’t have a comment on the status of the relationship, per se. What I can say is [he] is what I refer to as being my ‘twin soul’ and there will always be a tether to him, no matter what.”
“I can’t say for sure what the capacity will be, but I will always be connected to him somehow,” the Jennifer’s Body star added. “Beyond that, I’m not willing to explain.”
After Cooper observed that the actress and MGK “got engaged, then I think it was called off,” Fox confirmed, “All those things you said were accurate things that have occurred.”
“I could see them being confusing, or interesting to people, and them being like, ‘What’s up?’” she conceded.
Fox and the musician, born Colson Baker, first announced their engagement in January 2022. In February the next year, the couple sparked breakup rumors when the Pretty Boys Are Poisonous author deleted all their photos together on Instagram and shared a cryptic post quoting Beyoncé’s Lemonade track, “Pray You Catch Me.”
“You can taste the dishonesty/ It’s all over your breath,” she wrote at the time, captioning photos of herself and a video of a burning envelope.
Since then, it appears that the two stars have patched things up – although, as Fox made clear, their official status remains private. One of their most recent outings was at a Super Bowl afterparty in February, where they snapped a photo with Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift.
Fox also confirmed that she was at one of Baker’s recent tattoo appointments, from which he emerged with shocking blackout tats covering much of his shoulders, chest and arms. “For spiritual purposes only,” he wrote when sharing the body-art transformation for the first time on Instagram in February.
“He has a really special story behind why he did that, which obviously, I’ll leave for him to tell,” the Till Death star told Cooper of Baker’s new look, noting he covered up his old ink because some of it made him feel “conflicted emotionally.” “Whatever they represented — and I don’t actually know — but he didn’t like to revisit those memories of some of the tattoos that he had and he wanted to get rid of them.”
“I think it’s really elegant and it’s kind of ahead of its time,” she continued of the blackouts. “I think in 10 years it’ll be a trend … He did it fully awake with no pain killers. I don’t actually know how he endured that level of pain.”
