From the moment Megan Fox met rapper Colson Baker, known as Machine Gun Kelly (MGK), on the set of their film Midnight in the Switchgrass in 2020, she sensed an unmistakable spark. Recalling their initial encounter during a podcast with the film’s director, Randall Emmett, Fox stated that she immediately felt something significant was about to unfold. “I was like, ‘Uh oh.’ Because I knew, I could feel that some wild s–t was going to happen to me from that meeting,” she explained. This intuition proved to be the beginning of what she later described as a “once in a lifetime” romance.
A Unique Connection
Following her quiet separation from husband Brian Austin Green, with whom she shares three children, Fox found something special with MGK. She famously referred to him as her “twin flame,” emphasizing that their bond surpassed the typical soulmate connection. The chemistry between them was palpable, leading to Fox starring in one of Kelly’s music videos and the couple getting matching tattoos to symbolize their love.
A Public Declaration of Love
Fox and MGK were unabashed about their relationship, making their red carpet debut as a couple and eventually getting engaged in January 2022. Their mutual affection was often shared publicly, showcasing the deep connection they felt. However, despite their intense romance, the couple faced challenges and decided to part ways after their engagement.
Co-Parenting and Moving Forward
In a twist of fate, Fox and MGK welcomed their daughter, Saga Blade Fox-Baker, in March 2025. The two have embraced co-parenting and continue to support each other in their individual journeys. “Megan is a great mom,” MGK expressed during a June 2025 episode of Today. “She’s killing it. I’m so excited.” With their daughter as a central focus, both Fox and MGK strive to maintain a positive relationship for her sake, despite their romantic split.
