Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly welcomed their daughter in March 2025, but their relationship remains one of co-parenting. A source speaking to Us Weekly says that they are “absolutely not getting back together at this point in time,” but Fox is “grateful” that the musician has been available as a father. The baby lives full-time with Fox at the moment, with Kelly “coming and going,” and spending the night a few days a week. The actress “makes the rules” and her former partner is “very aware of this.” MGK was supposedly bringing up the state of their relationship, but has backed off and they are now “all about the baby.”
“Megan thinks MGK has stepped up and is being a good dad but doesn’t think they have a future together romantically,” the source explained. “Megan is in heaven with her baby girl and is really focused on being a mom right now.” Another source has said that Fox has noticed her ex-fiancé has made a “huge effort” to be a “great dad.” But she remains concerned that “he will change again and be the guy she doesn’t know.”
The pair first met filming Midnight in the Switchgrass in 2020. They got engaged in 2022 and announced they were expecting a baby in November 2024. However, their relationship has had its ups and downs, and they ultimately split before welcoming their newborn on March 27.
Fox also has three sons with her ex-husband, Brian Austin Green: Noah, Bodhi, and Journey. MGK has one daughter, Casie, with ex-girlfriend Emma Cannon. The couple’s split occurred shortly after Fox revealed her pregnancy in November 2024, a development that caught many by surprise.
In the months leading up to the birth, MGK had been focusing on his mental health and personal growth. A source close to him stated, “He has been focusing on mental health and getting back in shape. He’s heartbroken but trying to move forward.” Despite his desire to reconcile, Fox has made it clear that she wants to break the cycle of their past relationship.
“MGK would like to reconcile, but Megan is firm in her decision to move on. She does not see a future with him anymore. She doesn’t want to put herself in the same position again with him anymore,” the source added. This sentiment underscores the complexity of their co-parenting arrangement, as both parents navigate their new roles.
Fox has expressed gratitude for MGK’s involvement, recognizing that he has stepped up as a father. “The baby is already wrapped around his finger,” the insider added. “Megan has noticed his energy is different, the look in his eyes is different, his aura has changed. She feels the baby is exactly what he needed, and she is hoping it sticks.”
Fox’s focus on motherhood comes at a pivotal time in her life, especially following her split from Green, with whom she shares a tumultuous history. Green, who has publicly addressed the allegations surrounding their relationship, stated during a podcast that he understood the challenges they faced. He recalled how Fox became very responsible for his then-toddler son, Kassius, from a previous relationship.
Green and Fox met while filming the ABC Drama Hope & Faith in 2004. Their relationship sparked when Green was 31 and Fox was just 18. They began dating shortly after and eventually tied the knot in 2010. However, their marriage was not without its difficulties, leading to their divorce in 2020.
Reflecting on their past, Green has acknowledged the overwhelming nature of their relationship, especially as Fox sought to establish her own identity. “When she realized that, she wanted out quickly, which is then what made it hard for me. I understood it, but it doesn’t make it any less hard,” he explained.
Fox first approached Green with divorce papers in 2015 after the birth of their sons, Noah and Bodhi. Green was dealing with health issues at the time, which complicated their discussions. “I couldn’t even go with her because I couldn’t walk, I couldn’t do anything,” he said, emphasizing the challenges they faced during that period.
Despite their rocky relationship, Green expressed that he does not regret his time with Fox. “The grooming stuff, the controlling stuff, it seems like that just continually lessens and lessens until I run into people now that are like, ‘Yeah, I used to think that, or that seemed to be the case,’ but they just genuinely don’t believe that anymore,” he shared on the podcast.
As Fox embraces her new role as a mother to her daughter with MGK, she remains focused on her family dynamics and her own well-being. The actress is determined to create a positive environment for her children while navigating the complexities of co-parenting with MGK. With both parents committed to their daughter’s happiness, it seems they are finding a way to work together for her sake.
In the world of celebrity relationships, the dynamics between Fox, MGK, and Green highlight the challenges of maintaining personal connections while prioritizing family responsibilities. As they move forward, the focus remains on the well-being of their children, showcasing a commitment to co-parenting despite the ups and downs of their romantic histories.
