Megan Fox has some big plans for her life after she welcomes her first child with ex Machine Gun Kelly.
“She has a renewed sense of confidence since being apart from MGK and after the baby she will be focusing on a career comeback,” a source close to the actress exclusively told Us Weekly. “The baby is the greatest gift to come from the relationship.”
Fox, 38, started dating MGK (real name Colson Baker) in March 2020 after meeting on the set of Midnight in the Switchgrass. At the time, Fox was married to Brian Austin Green. Months later in June, after Green announced the end of his 10-year marriage to Fox, Us confirmed Fox and Kelly were “officially dating.”
The pair got engaged in January 2022 and announced Fox was pregnant with their first baby together in November 2024. (Fox shares three kids, Noah, Bodhi and Journey, with her ex-husband. Kelly shares daughter Casie Colson Baker with his ex-girlfriend, Emma Cannon.)
The pair quietly split the same month Fox announced her pregnancy.
“She believes that while they may not have been meant to be together, she was meant to bring his child into the world,” the insider told Us of Fox’s feelings about her pregnancy and subsequent breakup. “Her children are her greatest blessing and far more important than any fleeting or destructive Hollywood relationship.”
The source added, “She is looking ahead with excitement, ready to welcome her baby and focus on the future.”
In the latest issue of Us, a source explained that the soon-to-be coparents “don’t talk at great lengths but have exchanged a few texts.”
“[She] doesn’t want to be in a relationship with him,” the insider continued. “MGK wants to get back together with Megan, but she’s told him she is done for good.”
Shortly after the pair quietly split in November 2024, an insider told Us that in the midst of their relationship ups and downs the pair were “trying to make it work again after the pregnancy.”
“But they are both too hot-headed and fell back into their constant fighting,” the insider told Us at the time. “They can’t get on the same page and it’s not easy for them being together.”
That same month, a separate source told Us that Fox’s pregnancy was a non-factor when it came to the pair deciding to call it quits. Instead, the breakup was reportedly the result of deep-seated relationship issues.
