Megan Fox and MGK ‘use new baby’ to ‘hold on to crumbling relationship’
An insider revealed: “There is a feeling that this pregnancy is really a desperate way to hold each other.”
The Jennifer’s body actress, 38, revealed she had suffered a miscarriage last year and shared her recent happy news with an Instagram photo of her baby bump painted black and a positive pregnancy test.
She wrote: “Nothing is ever truly lost. Welcome back.”
Fox is already mom to Noah, 12, Bodhi, 10, and Journey, 8, with her ex-husband Brian Austin Green.
MGK shares his 15-year-old daughter Casie with ex Emma Cannon.
In March 2024, Fox confirmed that she and Kelly had called off their engagement sometime in 2023. The two officially started dating in 2020, and MGK proposed to the blue-eyed beauty in January 2022.
A source added that the couple’s relationship has since been “on and off more times than a light bulb,” mainly thanks to his erratic behavior — including the time he smashed a champagne glass in his face during a New York concert in 2022.
The insider noted that while Fox called off their brief engagement last year, the Bloody Valentine singer returned “promising her a quieter life.”
They added: “Everyone hopes that MGK has the maturity to face the future.”
Before the miscarriage, Fox supported Kelly as he struggled with his mental health, including attempting suicide while on the phone with her.
He previously opened up about his battle with depression and the “really, really, really dark” day in July 2020 when the phone call with Fox took place.
He recalled: “I didn’t want to leave my room and I started getting very, very, very dark. Megan went to Bulgaria to shoot a movie and I started having a very wild paranoia. I became more and more paranoid that someone would come and kill me.”
The rapper said he “just snapped,” adding, “I called Megan. I was like, ‘You’re not here for me.’ I’m in my room and I’m going crazy over her.”
“Dude, I put the gun in my mouth. And I’m yelling on the phone and it’s like the barrel’s in my mouth. And I go to cock the gun and the bullet, when it comes back up, the shell just gets stuck. Megan is dead quiet.”
