Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly are expecting their first child together, but insiders claim the pregnancy may be a last-ditch effort to save their tumultuous relationship. The couple, who began dating in 2020, has endured a rollercoaster of ups and downs, including a broken engagement, mental health struggles, and public controversies.
According to a source, the pregnancy feels like “a desperate means of hanging on to each other” after a rocky few years.
A Fragile Love Story
Fox, 38, announced her pregnancy last month with an Instagram post featuring her painted baby bump and a positive test. She captioned it: “Nothing is ever really lost. Welcome back.” This joyful news comes after the actress revealed she suffered a miscarriage in the past.
While this will be the couple’s first child together, they both have children from previous relationships. Fox shares three kids—Noah (12), Bodhi (10), and Journey (8)—with her ex-husband Brian Austin Green, while Kelly has a 15-year-old daughter, Casie, with his ex Emma Cannon.
Despite the happy announcement, their relationship history suggests the road ahead may be complicated. In March 2024, Fox confirmed she and Kelly ended their engagement, initially announced in January 2022, after calling it off in 2023.
A History of Struggles
The couple’s relationship has been described as “on and off more times than a light bulb,” with one insider attributing much of the instability to Kelly’s erratic behavior. Notable incidents include smashing a champagne glass on his face during a concert and publicly grappling with mental health challenges, including a reported suicide attempt in 2020.
Kelly has been open about his struggles with depression and his reliance on Fox during a dark period. In July 2020, he experienced paranoia and suicidal thoughts while Fox was away shooting a movie. Kelly later credited Fox and his daughter for motivating him to seek help and address his mental health.
Efforts to Heal
Following their engagement, the couple briefly split to work on their individual issues and relationship troubles, including rumors of infidelity. They reunited after a period of healing, reportedly feeling “more connected than ever.”
A key turning point came when Kelly quietly entered rehab in 2023. The rapper revealed that his decision to get sober was crucial to repairing his relationship with Fox.
“She wasn’t going to stay with him,” said a source, noting Kelly’s destructive behavior at the time. “He was headed for disaster until he made up his mind to change.”
In August, Kelly shared that his time in rehab taught him new ways to manage anger and improve his mental well-being.
What’s Next?
Despite the challenges, the couple appears committed to making their relationship work, with sources expressing cautious optimism.
As they prepare for the arrival of their baby, fans hope this chapter will bring stability and joy to their often chaotic love story. Whether this pregnancy serves as a fresh start or a temporary fix remains to be seen, but one thing is clear: Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly’s relationship continues to captivate and divide the public’s attention.
