Machine Gun Kelly ‘cleaned up his act’ to win back Megan Fox before her rainbow pregnancy

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Machine Gun Kelly's transformation and renewed commitment to Megan Fox came just in time for the couple’s exciting baby announcement.

After facing relationship struggles, the rapper took drastic measures to clean up his act and restore trust with his fiancee.

Machine Gun Kelly overhauls lifestyle to win Megan Fox back before baby news

A source close to the couple shared exclusively with In Touch that Machine Gun Kelly's partying had deeply affected his relationship with Megan Fox.

"MGK had some pretty bad issues with partying to the point that it almost cost him his relationship with Megan," the insider explained. "There was a point she did end things because he was just way too out of control and that’s not the sort of lifestyle she wants to live."

Megan, 38, and Kelly, 34, made headlines in February 2023 after rumors of a breakup circulated following a cryptic Instagram post by Megan. She shared a photo of a burning envelope. Her post was captioned with lyrics from Beyonce’s 'Lemonade' album: “You can taste the dishonesty, it’s all over your breath.”

However, the couple soon reconciled after Kelly made significant changes to win her back.

The source revealed that Kelly took full accountability for his actions and devoted himself to rebuilding their relationship. "He cleaned up his act completely and devoted himself to winning her back," the insider said.

"It took some time for him to prove himself, but he did what he had to do and won her back by committing to finally growing up and living a clean and healthy life."

In August, Kelly shared that he had been sober for a year, crediting his daughter, Casie, for inspiring the change. “It started with my daughter saying, ‘Dad, you know I can tell when you’re high?’ It broke my heart,” MGK shared in an interview.

His newfound sobriety and dedication to personal growth helped rekindle his relationship with Megan, who is now pregnant with their first child together. Megan had previously revealed that she suffered a pregnancy loss during her relationship with Kelly.

The couple, who got engaged in January 2022, are now overjoyed about their growing family, with the source noting, "They both feel they are true soulmates and meant to be together forever, so this baby is a dream come true."

Machine Gun Kelly shared his excitement about the baby news on X (formerly Twitter), writing, “Isolating myself in the desert next week to restart this album from scratch. When inspiration flows through me unblocked, we will reach the destination in no time. Don’t worry. After all, I’m about to be a dad again!”

The announcement follows Megan Fox’s November 11 Instagram post, which thrilled fans. The carousel featured a dramatic photo of her cradling her baby bump while covered in black oil, accompanied by a snapshot of a positive pregnancy test.

Her caption, “Nothing is ever really lost. Welcome back,” hinted at the couple’s emotional journey.

Kelly, who shares 15-year-old Casie, with his ex-girlfriend Emma Cannon, has expressed gratitude for his evolving family dynamic. Casie has been a constant in his life, and now the rapper is embracing the prospect of fatherhood once again.

Megan Fox and Kelly's relationship has seen its share of ups and downs. The couple first connected in June 2020 while filming Kelly's 'Bloody Valentine' music video, where their undeniable chemistry sparked a romance. They got engaged in January 2022 in a dramatic proposal under a banyan tree, complete with a custom engagement ring.

Their relationship faced challenges in between, but Kelly's commitment to personal growth—marked by a year of sobriety and therapy—helped bring them back together.
