There’s a reason celebrity breakups hit differently when a baby is involved, and the split between Machine Gun Kelly and Megan Fox shows just how messy it can get. After years of public declarations and matching ink, the couple reportedly parted ways in late 2024, but the story didn’t end there. With the birth of their daughter in March 2025 and MGK’s public project breaking his silence a year later, the full picture is only now coming into focus.

Are MGK and Megan Fox still together?

As of April 2026, the answer is no. Multiple sources confirm that Megan Fox has no interest in getting back together with Machine Gun Kelly. An anonymous source close to Fox told Cosmopolitan (women’s lifestyle magazine) that she has “no interest” in reconciliation. Meanwhile, MGK has publicly expressed hope of reuniting, particularly through his April 2026 “Lost Americana” project, which indirectly addressed the breakup.

Current relationship status as of 2026

  • Fox and Kelly do not live together (TMZ (celebrity news outlet))
  • Fox has full-time custody of their daughter (TMZ (celebrity news outlet))
  • They co-parent as needed but are not in a romantic relationship (TMZ (celebrity news outlet))

The split, which began in November 2024, appears final. In January 2025, TMZ (celebrity news outlet) reported that reconciliation rumors were false and the pair were still broken up. The implication: this is not another temporary separation — it’s a permanent end to the romantic chapter.

Why the split appears final

  • Fox found material on Kelly’s phone during a Thanksgiving 2024 trip to Vail, Colorado, that upset her and led her to ask him to leave early (ELLE (celebrity news authority))
  • Page Six reported she found text messages involving other women and “decided she was done” (ELLE (celebrity news authority))
  • Us Weekly added that the couple “can’t get on the same page” and that being together was not easy (ELLE (celebrity news authority))

The pattern: each reconciliation attempt has been shorter than the last. What this means is that trust breaks have accumulated to a point where even the birth of a child couldn’t bridge the gap.

The trade-off

MGK’s public hope for reunion places Fox in an awkward co-parenting position: she has full-time custody and no desire to reconcile, yet her ex continues to signal otherwise through major music projects. For Fox, the choice is between maintaining silence or publicly correcting the narrative.

Why did Megan Fox leave Machine Gun Kelly?

The immediate trigger was a Thanksgiving 2024 trip to Vail, Colorado. According to ELLE (celebrity news authority), Fox discovered material on Kelly’s phone that upset her and wanted him to leave early. Page Six specified that the material was text messages involving other women. Fox reportedly “decided she was done” on the spot.

The phone discovery that triggered the separation

  • TMZ (celebrity news outlet) reported that Fox found material on Kelly’s phone during the trip that led her to ask him to leave
  • According to Page Six, the material involved text messages with other women
  • Us Weekly added the couple had been trying to make it work after Fox’s pregnancy but fell back into constant fighting — both are “too hot-headed” (ELLE (celebrity news authority))

Kelly left Vail early, and the two have not seen each other since that trip, according to reports from December 2024 (ELLE (celebrity news authority)).

Previous breakups and reconciliations

  • In February 2023, People reported Fox had removed her engagement ring and the couple sought marriage counseling (Harper’s Bazaar (fashion and culture media))
  • Page Six reported they were talking to a couples therapist every day via Zoom (Harper’s Bazaar (fashion and culture media)) — though the exact frequency was not independently confirmed
  • By March 22, 2023, Us Weekly said they were “on a break” but still in contact (Harper’s Bazaar (fashion and culture media))
  • On March 20, 2024, Fox said on the Call Her Daddy podcast that she and Kelly had called off their engagement sometime in 2023 (Harper’s Bazaar (fashion and culture media))

The catch: despite multiple attempts at reconciliation and professional counseling, the underlying issues — distrust and clashing temperaments — never resolved. The phone discovery was the final straw, not the root cause.

Why this matters

Celebrity relationship cycles often follow a pattern of escalation: from private tension to public display, then a blow-up followed by a therapeutic reset. For MGK and Fox, the reset button stopped working. The key difference this time is the presence of a child, which raises the stakes for any future conflicts over co-parenting or public statements.

What happened between MGK and Megan Fox?

Their relationship began on the set of the 2021 film “Midnight in the Switchgrass,” shortly after Fox separated from Brian Austin Green. By January 2022, the couple was engaged (ELLE (celebrity news authority)). What followed was a series of breakups, reconciliations, and public declarations — culminating in the birth of their daughter in March 2025 and the final split that preceded it.

Meeting and engagement

  • First publicly linked in 2020 after Fox’s separation from Brian Austin Green (ELLE (celebrity news authority))
  • Engaged January 2022 (Harper’s Bazaar (fashion and culture media))
  • By February 2023, ring was off and marriage counseling began (People (celebrity and human-interest magazine))

Birth of their daughter in March 2025

  • Fox had their baby girl full-time as of January 2025 (TMZ (celebrity news outlet))
  • The couple co-parented as needed but were not in a romantic relationship (TMZ (celebrity news outlet))
  • MGK reportedly shared photos of their daughter on social media, which upset Fox — contributing to the post-breakup tension (Cosmopolitan (women’s lifestyle magazine))

Post-breakup public comments by MGK

  • April 2026: MGK released the “Lost Americana” project, which sources say addressed the breakup (Cosmopolitan (women’s lifestyle magazine))
  • He has publicly expressed a desire to reunite with Fox (Cosmopolitan (women’s lifestyle magazine))
  • Fox has not publicly responded to these overtures

The pattern: a cycle of intense romance followed by trust-breaking events, each time with a shorter rebound. The baby was supposed to be a reset, but the underlying issues — the same ones that led to therapy in 2023 — resurfaced. For MGK, the “Lost Americana” project represents an attempt to control the narrative; for Fox, silence is a statement in itself.

Voices from the breakup

“Megan has no interest in getting back together with MGK. She is done and focused on their child.”

— Anonymous source close to Fox (Cosmopolitan (women’s lifestyle magazine))

“She decided she was done. It wasn’t a temporary fight — she made a firm decision.”

— Anonymous source (ELLE (celebrity news authority))

“I’m not ready to let go. The love of my life is still the love of my life.”

— MGK, from “Lost Americana” project (paraphrased by Cosmopolitan (women’s lifestyle magazine))

For Megan Fox, the choice is clear: maintain privacy and focus on co-parenting, even as MGK continues to publicly signal hope. For fans following the saga, the implication is that this time the couple’s story has reached its final chapter. Unless one of them changes course, the only plot left to follow is how they navigate raising their daughter — separately.
