Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly have never been shy about sharing details of their relationship, from tragic miscarriages to controversial blood drinking.
Fox and MGK (whose real name is Colson Baker) have been together since 2020 and, despite brief periods of troubles, have shared many special moments together in the public eye.
As they expect their first child together, look back at their relationship timeline

Fox and MGK met on set in Puerto Rico while filming the movie Midnight in the Switchgrass.
The pop punk star shared a photo of his and Fox’s cast chairs sat next to one another on 11 March 2020, in a now-deleted post.
Although the pandemic shut production down, that wouldn’t be the end of the pair’s connection. They were later seen together on multiple occasions back home in California.
July 2020: Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly give first joint interview
Appearing together on Lala Kent and Randall Emmett’s podcast, titled Give Them Lala … With Randall, Fox described MGK as her “twin flame”.
“I knew right away that he was what I call a twin flame,” she said. “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.
“We’re actually two halves of the same soul, I think. And I said that to him almost immediately, because I felt it right away.”

One week later, Fox shared a similar photo on her feed, captioning it: “Achingly Beautiful Boy… My heart is yours 🔪♥️🔪.”

Fox wrote on Insta: “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.
“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.”
She later clarified the pair consumed each other’s blood for “ritual purposes only”.
MGK shared a detailed video of the emerald and diamond engagement rings he gave Fox and describing the process of designing them.
He wrote: “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. 1-11-2022 ✨.”
