Reports surfaced indicating a separation between Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly less than four weeks after their pregnancy announcement: An examination of their passionate, deeply connected relationship.

The stars have had an on-again, off-again romance since meeting on set in early 2020.

According to multiple sources, Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly have parted ways shortly after revealing their expectant parenthood.

TMZ initially broke the story on December 10th, reporting the couple's separation during a Thanksgiving getaway in Vail, Colorado. Us Weekly corroborated the report the same day, citing a source close to the pair.

An informant told Us Weekly that reconciliation attempts following the pregnancy announcement were unsuccessful due to their volatile temperaments and persistent disagreements. Although currently estranged, a future reunion remains a possibility.

Their split follows their November 11th Instagram pregnancy announcement, nearly a year after disclosing a previous miscarriage.

The child, expected in March or April, will be the 38-year-old Transformers star's fourth offspring. She has three sons—Noah, Bodhi, and Journey—with her former spouse, Brian Austin Green. Kelly, 34, is father to a teenage daughter, Casie.

Fox and Kelly forged a connection during the filming of 2021's Midnight in the Switchgrass. Their relationship's intensity was evident from the outset, a characteristic that defined their four-year journey. They became engaged in 2022, separated the following year, but eventually rekindled their romance.

July 2020: Couple speaks out for 1st time

Upon learning of Kelly's casting opposite her in Randall Emmett's suspense film, Fox sensed impending significant events, though the nature remained unclear.

In a shared interview, Kelly recounted waiting near his trailer, hoping for a glimpse of Fox. "She would exit her car, and there were just several steps between the car and trailer. I simply remained there, hoping."

Fox described Kelly as her "twin flame," a term she considered surpassing the definition of "soulmate."

She explained, "The moment I encountered him, greeted him, and met his gaze, I instantly recognized him as what I term a twin flame. Unlike a soulmate, a twin flame represents a soul that has ascended to a level where it can exist in two separate bodies concurrently. We are essentially two halves of the same soul, I believe. I conveyed this to him almost immediately, because the sensation was instantaneous."

In a collaborative interview for British GQ Style, the couple disclosed a prior encounter years before the film, at a Los Angeles gathering, but without mutual recognition.

Fox stated, "I don't recall your face. ...And I certainly would have remembered his face." "I remember a tall, blond, ethereal figure. I looked up and said, 'You smell like marijuana.' He looked down at me and replied, 'I am marijuana.' Then, I swear, he vanished like a ninja in a smoke screen."

Fox suggested their prior meeting was not meant to be.

She explained, "We weren't destined to cross paths that evening; our spirits, our guides, were steering us apart, because he literally lacked a face, like that creature from Spirited Away. It's generally difficult to make out his features, but he truly had no face that night." Addressing Kelly, she added, "Thankfully, [because] what torment would I have endured knowing you were present and unreachable. It was preferable to remain unaware."

Fox also addressed their "very intense relationship."

She stated, "Our souls selected this path to confront our darker selves; to face aspects of ourselves we preferred to ignore, that we attempted to suppress."

Kelly added that they would "endure hardship together" and characterized their relationship as "both ecstasy and agony."

He concluded, "I don't want people to assume everything is flawless between us. I didn't label it the darkest fairytale for nothing. God help you if you encountered us last Saturday."

Unaware of the effort and compromises the relationship would demand from us but intoxicated by the affection. And the karma. Somehow a year and a half later, having traversed difficulties together, and having laughed more than I ever imagined possible, he proposed marriage." "And just as in every lifetime before this one, and as in every lifetime that will follow it, I said yes. …and then we drank each other's blood."

Fox told Cooper, "I believe I've learned from this relationship that it’s unsuitable for public consumption." "So presently, I won't comment on the relationship's status. I can confirm that he is what I consider my 'twin soul,' and a connection will always exist, regardless of circumstances."

Fox stated she "can't definitively describe the nature of the bond, but I will perpetually be linked to him in some way."
