While on The Howard Stern Show, MGK shared that he "didn't know what [love] was until me and [Megan] made eye contact."

At the 2020 American Music Awards, MGK and Megan made their red carpet debut as a couple. Things continued to heat up between the two both publicly and privately, culminating in engagement rumors at the beginning of 2021.

Nothing was confirmed at the time, but the pair went on being as loved-up as ever. On their first Valentine's Day together, MGK shared a slideshow of images of the two alongside the caption "I wear your blood around my neck," which included an image of a necklace that appeared to contain a drop of his lover's blood.

By Sept. 12, 2021, Megan teamed up with Kourtney Kardashian to introduce "our future baby daddies," their boyfriends Travis Barker and MGK, who were performing at that year's Video Music Awards.

Next came their first joint magazine cover, which was for British GQ Style's Autumn/Winter 2021 issue.

After about a year and a half of dating, MGK proposed to Megan Fox in Puerto Rico.

The couple's biggest leap as an item came on Jan. 12, 2022, when they shared that MGK had proposed to Megan. Shortly after, the singer also revealed on Instagram that the two were raising a kitten together.

The honeymoon phase of their engagement went on for some time, with MGK calling Megan his "wife" at the 2022 Billboard Music Awards. MGK gave Megan an engagement ring that can be pulled into two separate parts. However, it hurts to do so.

For Megan's 36th birthday on May 16, 2022, the twosome shared an image of their matching finger tattoos, another sign of their devotion. Less than a week later, they jointly attended pals Kourtney and Travis's wedding.

Summer 2022 saw the release of MGK's Hulu documentary Life in Pink, and a dark admission from the singer. In the film, he revealed he had attempted suicide while on the phone with Megan. He described the moment as a turning point in which he was grateful for his fiancée's help.

After months in which they didn't posting anything together on Instagram, which led to breakup rumors, TMZ reported that the two got lunch together in California on Aug. 17, 2022. Things picked back up after that, with the two sharing images of them attending Beyoncé's 41st birthday party together. They were spotted on other occasions out and about during that year including Milan Fashion Week and the Time100 Gala. Megan also appeared in MGK's film Taurus.

The beginning of 2023 was a rocky period in Megan and MGK's relationship.

Despite attending the Grammys together on Feb. 5, 2023, things seemed to sour rather quickly. On Feb. 12, 2023, Megan posted an image of herself alongside a video of an envelope being burned in fire. The post was captioned with "You can taste the dishonesty/ it's all over your breath." Hours later, the actor deleted all pictures of herself with MGK, unfollowed him, and then deleted her Instagram.

On Feb. 13, 2023, a source for People stated that the two got into a fight that resulted in them not speaking to each other. "They haven't officially called off the engagement but Megan took her ring off," the source added. "They have had issues in the past, but things seem pretty serious this time."

Machine Gun Kelly and Megan Fox said they were working on "repairing" their relationship.

On March 22, 2023, Us Weekly reported that the duo were "on a break" and had postponed their wedding planning. "They have stalled wedding planning to work on their issues,” a source shared with the media outlet. “Their relationship is pretty volatile at the moment," the source added.

However, the two were then spotted attending a Sports Illustrated swimsuit event on May 18, 2023. A few days after that, on May 30, MGK and Megan showed up together at an event in London.

Following their public appearance, a source told People, "He's doing whatever he can to get her back, and she's making him work for it. It's still an unhealthy dynamic though, and their friends just don't see this lasting."

In August 2023, Entertainment Tonight reported that the pair were officially back together.

In November 2023, Megan revealed that she had gone through a miscarriage with MGK.

"That experience was so much harder than I would've anticipated it being, and I've really analyzed, 'Why was that? Why was that so difficult for me?" she told Women's Wear Daily. "Because when I was younger, I had an ectopic pregnancy, I've had other things that I'm not going to say because God forbid the world will be in an uproar. But I've been through other similar issues, but not with someone who I was so in love with.”

The couple reportedly had another rough patch in December 2023 after they had a big fight.

A source told People, "It’s always the same thing. They have severe trust issues in the relationship. It’s been rough, but [they’re] still trying to work through it." In February 2024, a source told Entertainment Tonight that the pair were going to couples counseling to work on their partnership.

Megan spoke perhaps for the last time about her relationship on the 'Call Your Daddy' podcast in March of 2024.

Megan went on the Call Your Daddy podcast and confirmed that the couple had previously called off their engagement, but she was intentionally vague about the status of her relationship. She didn't share many details and instead talked about the fact that she would like to stay away from the topic of her relationship in future interviews.

She said, "I think that what I’ve learned from being in this relationship is that it’s not for public consumption... So I think, as of now, I don’t have a comment on the status of the relationship, per se. What I can say is that [he] is what I refer to as being my ‘twin soul,’ and there will always be a tether to him, no matter what. I can’t say for sure what the capacity will be, but I will always be connected to him somehow. Beyond that, I’m not willing to explain."

However, on April 2, 2024, a source Entertainment Tonight that the couple is taking some time apart but still working toward reconciliation. The source said, "Megan and MGK’s relationship is up and down. Right now, they are taking some space, but things could easily change. They are still together as a couple and trying to figure things out. MGK is very in love with Megan, so he does his best to keep her happy and lets her take the lead."

Megan Fox advised single women not to "waste your energy on boys."

While attending the 2024 Revolve Festival at Coachella, Megan spoke with E! News' The Rundown host Erin Lim Rhodes and shared some advice for single women gearing up for the summer season.

Expressing a hint of hesitation, Megan humbly suggested, "I don't know if I'm the best person to give advice because my advice is, like, just learn a skill or develop a hobby. And do not waste your energy on boys."

"All they're going to do is drain you," the Transformers actress emphasized. "Just move on. Invest in yourself."

Megan reposted the interview via Instagram on April 14, and one day later, Machine Gun Kelly commented, "PREACH," according to the Comments by Celebs Instagram account.
