“They broke up in late November,” a source later told Us Weekly on Tuesday, Dec. 10. “They were trying to make it work again after the pregnancy, but they are both too hot-headed and fell back into their constant fighting. They can’t get on the same page and it’s not easy for them being together.”

Though, it didn’t take long for the duo to reunite at their twin flame romance has been back on our timelines ever since.

Later that same day, MGK tweeted a lyric from ‘bloody valentine,’ “i’m calling you girlfriend, what the fuck,” adding “life imitated art on that one.” He didn’t outright say “Hello world, Megan Fox and I are romantically involved,” but that was basically what he implied on the bird app, and with new photos of the two circulating, it was pretty obvious that they were more than just castmates and friends at that point.

MGK, Emmett, and Fox all worked on Midnight in the Switchgrass together, with Emmett directing the film. On his podcast, Fox shared her initial reaction to MGK being cast in the film, saying “I could feel that some wild shit was going to happen to me from that meeting, but I wasn’t yet sure what. I just felt it like, deep in my soul, that something was going to come from that.”
She also recalled that within just a few days of filming together, she could feel a powerful connection with MGK. “I knew right away that he was what I call a twin flame. Instead of a soul mate, a twin flame is actually where a soul has ascended into a high enough level that it can be split into two different bodies at the same time. So we’re actually two halves of the same soul, I think. And I said that to him almost immediately, because I felt it right away.”
While MGK shared he didn’t have quite the same certainty about a potential relationship with Fox, he did recall waiting for her to arrive on set every day, hoping “to catch one glimpse of eye contact.” He continued, “She would have to get out of her car. There were like, five steps between the car and the trailer, and I would just sit there and hope.”

Then, on August 5, 2020, Fox uploaded a pic herself to make it insta-official.
Fox couldn’t let the public think her relationship with MGK was a one-way street on his part, now could she? Confirming that she was in it just as deep as him, Fox shared a black and white mirror selfie on her own account with the caption reading, “Achingly Beautiful Boy… My heart is yours” with some knife and heart emojis (obvi).

While his act is convincing to most, Fox felt that she saw the real Colson Baker on the set of Midnight in the Switchyard, sharing, “I looked into his eyes [and] I felt the most pristine, most gentle, most pure spirit.

The couple discussed their relationship and its intensity at length, with Fox revealing they had technically met once before they more officially met on the set of Midnight in the Switchgrass. A few years prior, the two were introduced at a party in LA. Both swear they didn’t actually see one another, with Fox musing, “I don’t remember your face… And I definitely would have remembered his face. I just remember this tall, blond, ghostly creature and I looked up and I was like, ‘You smell like weed.’ He looked down at me and he was like, ‘I am weed.’ Then, I swear to God, he disappeared like a ninja in a smoke bomb.”
When they more formally met in 2020, Fox recalled, “It was obvious from second one what it was going to be.” She continued, sharing, “[I was] definitely open [to] love, but I did not anticipate walking right into my soulmate like that. I was obviously over the way I had been living, and those paths lined up, those doors opened. It was [as if] all the obstacles that had kept us apart all those years [had been removed] and we were able to finally intersect.”
She went on to explain what makes their connection as strong as it is: “I’m an unusual person. And I had buried a lot of that because it didn’t have a place to live. That’s something that, meeting him, it’s like meeting your own soul’s reflection. I recognize so much of myself in him, and vice versa, and that locked-up part of me that I had put away. I’d always felt like there was that thing missing, that I’d given up on, that you’re always seeking. But then you meet the person that completes that for you and you’re like, ‘Oh, this is what my heart was searching for. That’s what that beacon was this whole time.’”
After musing about how much Fox has positively influenced him, MGK also adds, “It should be light, but also we go to hell with each other. It’s ecstasy and agony for sure… I don’t want people to think anything’s perfect with us. I didn’t say it was the darkest fairy tale for no reason. God help you if you would’ve met us last Saturday.”

MGK announced their engagement on his Instagram as well, sharing a video of the engagement ring he had custom created for his bride. He explained the meaning behind the design, sharing, “beneath the same branches we fell in love under, i brought her back to ask her to marry me. i know tradition is one ring, but i designed it with Stephen Webster to be two: the emerald (her birth stone) and the diamond (my birth stone) set on two magnetic bands of thorns that draw together as two halves of the same soul forming the obscure heart that is our love.”
April 26, 2022: Fox Opens Up About MGK

I’m also four years older than him. So, I think I made him. My thoughts and intentions grew him into the person that he is, who knows what he would’ve looked like or been like if it wasn’t for me.”
She also clarifies the infamous comment about the couple drinking one another’s blood post-proposal, explaining, “So, I guess to drink each other’s blood might mislead people or people are imagining us with goblets and we’re like Game of Thrones, drinking each other’s blood. It’s just a few drops, but yes, we do consume each other’s blood on occasion for ritual purposes only.”

I understand what this character is.’ She improvised and brought [her character] Kennedy to life, and I’ve heard a lot of people say that that’s their favorite character in the movie. I’ll always collaborate with Megan. I’m madly in love with her — and I’m also a fan.”
