When Did Machine Gun Kelly and Megan Spark Split Rumors?
On the night he took home AMA’s Favorite Rock Artist, MGK made quite the presence on the red carpet — however, it wasn’t with his then-girlfriend, Megan. Instead, he was joined by his 13-year-old daughter from a previous relationship.
The devoted father and his daughter, Casie Colson Baker, who he had at just 18, stole the show on the red carpet, posing with the rapper’s award and seemingly having a blast together.
Fans of the musician and the actor immediately took to social media to speculate over their relationship.
“Did MGK and Megan Fox breakup?” a Twitter user shared, adding a crying emoji. Another added, “Megan Fox and MGK have been quiet lately … a little TOO quiet.”
When Did MGK and Megan Fox Start Dating?
MGK and Megan met in March 2020 while they were working on the film Midnight in the Switchgrass.

Are Megan Fox and MGK Still Engaged?
Megan and MGK appeared to shut down split rumors when the “Rap Devil” musician proposed in January 2022.
“In July of 2020 we sat under this banyan tree,” Megan captioned a video that documented his romantic proposal. “We asked for magic. We were oblivious to the pain we would face together in such a short, frenetic period of time. Unaware of the work and sacrifices the relationship would require from us but intoxicated off of the love. And the karma.”
“Somehow a year and a half later, having walked through hell together, and having laughed more than I ever imagined possible, he asked me to marry him,” the New Girl actress continued. “And just as in every lifetime before this one, and as in every lifetime that will follow it, I said yes …and then we drank each other’s blood. 1.11.22.”
MGK also shared the news by showcasing Megan’s diamond ring, writing, “‘Yes, in this life and every life.’ Beneath the same branches we fell in love under, I brought her back to ask her to marry me. I know tradition is one ring, but I designed it with Stephen Webster to be two: the emerald (her birth stone) and the diamond (my birth stone) set on two magnetic bands of thorns that draw together as two halves of the same soul forming the obscure heart that is our love.”
In October 2022, sources told Us Weekly that the pair was “secretly planning their wedding” as they are “also working hard on themselves.”
Megan and MGK have “worked on their problems and worked really hard to get to the place where they are today. It’s still a struggle at times and they tend to have a lot of ups and downs. He is making a lot of effort to be more mature. He’s not always easy to deal with. He still has this teenage side to him.”
Did Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly Split?
While attending the Daily Front Row Awards in April 2022, the couple sent rumors flying when Megan appeared to snub MGK as he leaned in for a kiss.
In viral footage, the Tennessee native appeared to dodge the sweet gesture as MGK laughed off the awkward moment before they hit the red carpet together.
Megan seemed to shut down the split rumors when she shared a sweet tribute to her soon-to-be husband on his 32nd birthday in April 2022. “You’re such a gorgeous soul,” she wrote in the moving tribute. “I’m honored to love you and to be the recipient of your love.”
Fans continued to speculate that there’s trouble in paradise when they noticed the couple stopped appearing in photos via social media together, though Megan and MGK seemed to be going strong when they were spotted together in the Brentwood neighborhood of Los Angeles in August 2022.
Megan once again sparked breakup rumors in October 2022 when she shared a series of Instagram selfies wearing several rings on her left hand, though she noticeably ditched her engagement ring. However, that same month they were spotted together at the TIME100 Next Gala in New York City.
While all seemed well between the twin flames, Megan sparked major split rumors once again in February 2023 when she deleted all photos of MGK from her Instagram account just days after they attended the Grammy Awards together.
On February 24, 2023, an insider exclusively told In Touch that they are “barely holding on” amid breakup rumors.
The source said they are “not splitting up,” though there is “concern” for Megan. “I’ve never seen her like this over any man in any situation,” the insider added.
Megan continued to spark split rumors when she attended Vanity Fair’s Oscars afterparty without MGK in March 2023.

“You can taste the dishonesty/it’s all over your breath,” she captioned the carousel post, referring to Beyoncé’s song “Pray You Catch Me.”
The last slide of the carousel included a video of what appeared to be Megan burning some of MGK’s belongings.
In the comment section, fans wondered if MGK “got with Sophie,” referring to guitarist Sophie Lloyd in his band.
“Maybe I got with Sophie,” Megan responded with a flame emoji, neither confirming nor denying the infidelity rumors, according to Page Six. Before deactivating her Instagram completely, the Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen actress unfollowed MGK and was only following Eminem, Harry Styles and Timothée Chalamet.
Megan returned to the platform on February 19 and broke her silence on the infidelity rumors, saying there had “been no third-party interference in this relationship of any kind.”
“That includes, but is not limited to … actual humans, DMS, AI bots or succubus demons,” the Tennessee native said via Instagram. “You need to let his story die and leave all of these innocent people alone now.”
