They're a match made in hot weirdo heaven.
With PDA that regularly sloshes onto the red carpet, Instagram, and all over each other's
faces, here's why Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly's favorite drink is each other's blood.
Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly gave GQ a first-hand look at their relationship — which
included matching ink, dinners in Soho, and a shared love for movies like "The Lost Boys"
and "True Romance."
The couple said they officially met in 2020 while on set for "Midnight in the Switchgrass,"
but they were actually introduced to each other years before at a GQ event in Los Angeles.
While neither party could recall much about what the other actually looked like back then,
they definitely remembered their first conversation.
"You said to me…"
"'You smell like weed.'"
"And I said, 'I am weed.'"
Later, when the pair teamed up for the movie, both claimed that their initial courtship
involved MGK texting Fox dirty lines from their script.
The actress said she found the messages charming, adding,
"[That's] how every fairy tale begins."
The couple that works together stays together — at least, it certainly seems that way
for Fox and MGK.
And in addition to starring in their movie, Fox also appeared in the music video for MGK's
"Bloody Valentine."
Her casting wasn't just a shock for viewers but also for the couple's former director,
Randall Emmett.
Emmett told CinemaBlend that MGK called him to give him the news:
"He's like, 'Megan's in it.'
And I was like, 'Megan who?'
And he's like, 'Megan Fox, your star.'"
Of course, MGK has no regrets about casting his then-girlfriend in his video.
The star admitted to Teen Vogue that "Bloody Valentine" is his favorite of his own videos
for a specific reason.
"It's no secret; I think feet are beautiful.
And I think Megan has the most beautiful feet that exist."
He also explained that Fox knew he had a thing for her feet — and had even gotten a pedicure
when she thought he might ask her to put her foot on his face.
While fans and haters alike know that MGK and Fox aren't stingy sharing intimate details,
that doesn't mean we aren't desperate for more.
Back in 2020, MGK let it all out when he told Howard Stern that things with Fox offered
him a whole new take on romance.
The artist claimed it was love at first sight, saying,
"I didn't know what that was until me and her made eye contact."
For her part, Fox shared a similar take on their chemistry, telling Nylon,
"Loving him is like being in love with a tsunami or a forest fire.
The intensity of merging with him is just overwhelming, and the threat it poses is so
powerful but so beautiful that you have no choice [but] to surrender with reverence and
with gratitude."
Fox also spoke about her man's "bad boy" image, which she believes is a reflection of his
childhood struggles.
Still, MGK's aggressive physical appearance had no effect on how Fox saw her future partner
when she met him.
She said,
"I looked into his eyes [and] I felt the most pristine, most gentle, most pure spirit."
With a Hollywood vampire-style vibe, Fox and MGK are all about embracing the dark side.
So, it should have come as no surprise when MGK's Valentine's Day message read,
"I wear your blood around my neck."
And it looks like he really does!
But while plenty of couples enjoy sharing themselves with their significant other, most
aren't doing it in such a literal way.
The musician told Ellen DeGeneres that the jewelry was a sort of memento: at the time,
Fox was filming out of town, and had to leave her main squeeze behind.
MGK revealed,
"Some people give, like, a handkerchief to their partner or whatever.
She gave me her DNA."
Speaking of blood, the rapper revealed that he and Fox also once went swimming with sharks
in Bora Bora — without any cage-style protection.
Always game for a bit of spectacle, he teased,
"There was nobody else but me and her."
To his family, he's Colson Baker.
Fans know him best as Machine Gun Kelly.
Fox, on the other hand, has a few other choice nicknames for her partner instead.
"Buddha, Lamby — you haven't gotten that one in a long while, but you gotta earn that
one back — Cookie, Blonde Angel Baby."
However, Fox took a more serious turn when she referred to him as her "twin flame."
As she explained on the Give Them LaLa podcast,
"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.
So 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."
Spoken like a true half-soul.
Justin Timberlake and Britney Spears may be the O.G.s of matching-outfit-couples, but
Fox and MGK are clearly fans of coordinating, too.
They are twin flames, after all!
In late 2021, People reported that they both stepped out in black suits and pink manicures
— with their pinky fingers linked by a chain.
"Usually, I build my outfit around whatever he's choosing cuz he's way more into fashion
than I am."
That was far from the first time the duo coordinated their look, though: they previously showed
off extra-long manicures at the iHeartRadio Music Awards.
On Instagram, the two shared their matching chrome manicures from Nails of LA.
"We'll turn around and then we'll either be like, 'Oh!
This goes great,' or we'll be like, 'Holy s— one of us has to change.'"
For these two, regular ole outfit and accessory coordinating is child's play, so they happily
took it to the next level by giving each other matching tattoos.
According to LAD Bible, the inked phrase "the darkest fairytale" was from one of their very
first texts.
When it comes to packing on the PDA, Fox and MGK are more than happy to share too much
of their love for anyone who's watching.
Actually, it's even better if everyone's watching.
The two famously treated fans to a glimpse of MGK's black-painted tongue during an open-mouthed
kiss at the 2021 Billboard Music Awards.
And not to put too fine of a point on it, but she also grabbed his crotch.
Just in case you were wondering if they like each other.
MGK has also made his fondness for Fox's backside clear at the iHeartRadio Music Awards and
the MTV VMAs by grabbing the actor's butt on both occasions.
Regardless of who's around, the couple truly can't seem to keep their hands off each other.
Even their interviews maintain that on-brand level of lust.
The rapper somehow managed to make an innocent kiss sound incredibly graphic, telling GQ,
"Even our first kiss, she wouldn't kiss me.
We just put our lips right in front of each other and breathed each other's breath and
then she just left."
"Our first date, we breathed each other.
That was all we did."
Are we turned on, or just confused?
It seems like either reaction will more than satisfy this peculiar pair.
After a whirlwind wild and crazy romance, Fox and MGK surprised their followers when
they officially announced their very traditional and official engagement.
And — ever generous with the details — Fox even shared footage of the proposal on Instagram,
writing,
"In July of 2020 we sat under this banyan tree.
We asked for magic.
[…] I said yes…and then we drank each other’s blood."
Because of course they did!
MGK then proudly showed off Fox's new ring — complete with both of the couple's birthstones.
An emerald for her and a diamond for him.
He wrote,
"i know tradition is one ring, but i designed it with Stephen Webster to be two.
[…] two halves of the same soul forming the obscure heart that is our love."
While plenty of fans and followers were beyond thrilled to hear that the couple planned to
tie the knot, the pair still managed to take some heat after revealing a unique feature
of Fox's engagement ring.
MGK noted that the ring was actually designed to hurt if Fox ever attempted to slip it off.
As he explained to Vogue,
"The bands are actually thorns.
So if she tries to take it off, it hurts.
[…] Love is pain."
"People must have been like, 'These f—ing people are psycho.'"
Despite the couple's bent toward the dark and slightly gothic, some fans were left questioning
whether the thorn design reflected a possible toxic relationship.
Diving a little deeper on the topic, BuzzFeed reported on feedback they had received, with
one user calling the move, quote, "possessive and controlling."
The outlet also shared a message from "Inside Amy Schumer" writer and producer Kim Caramele,
who tweeted,
"Just a friendly reminder that love is NOT pain.
That's a damaging message that allows abuse & toxicity to be misinterpreted for love.
Love is wanting each other to be happy & to feel good.
Romantic.
Platonic.
Self.
Love for a pet.
Pain is never the barometer.
I promise."
Of course, plenty of observers argued that it all comes down to the issue of consent.
Most fans agree that Fox was likely fully on board with the idea, considering the couple's
history.
Though both Fox and MGK have children from previous relationships, it doesn't look like
the two will face any issues when it comes to blending their families.
MGK has a daughter named Casie with his ex, Emma Cannon, and Fox has three boys — Noah,
Bodhi, and Journey — with her ex-husband Brian Austin Green.
A source close to the couple told Life & Style,
"The kids get along great, which is huge.
Even Brian, who honestly didn’t think Megan and MGK would last, is fine with his kids’
future stepdad."
The couple has even been spotted on family vacations with their kids, including a 2021
trip to Greece, where hopefully no one drank anyone else's blood.
