Machine Gun Kelly seeks 'another chance' with Megan Fox as she pushes for full custody of unborn child
NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: The tumultuous saga of Megan Fox, 38, and Machine Gun Kelly, 34, is reaching yet another pivotal moment as they prepare to welcome their first child together.
However, as the due date nears, sources reveal that Kelly is reportedly determined to win Fox back as the couple faces intense challenges in deciding how to navigate co-parenting, custody, and financial arrangements amid their recent split.
Megan Fox seeks full custody of unborn baby with Machine Gun Kelly
An insider exclusively told In Touch that the actress is firm in her stance on custody.
“As upset as Megan is with MGK, she’s not going to try and keep him out of their baby girl’s life,” the source says.
“She loves the relationship he has with his older daughter and would never try and deprive him of that with their daughter. But she does want full custody,” they stated.
While Fox is open to visitation, it comes with stipulations. “She’s fine with plenty of visitation, although she wants it to be supervised for the time being,” the insider shares.
The custody battle also brings financial considerations into the mix. The source said, “She will want some custody payments. He’s worth $25 million and his career is still growing, so he can certainly afford it."
Megan Fox doubts his ability to co-parent their baby
Their most recent breakup occurred over Thanksgiving 2024, just weeks after Megan Fox announced her pregnancy.
According to the source, Fox found “material” on Kelly’s phone that she deemed “upsetting.”
The couple, who first connected in 2020 on the set of 'Midnight in the Switchgrass', has had their fair share of breakups over the years.
The insider revealed that Fox doubts Kelly’s ability to co-parent effectively.
“She felt her rockstar ex wasn’t up for caring even part-time for a baby,” the source explains.
Despite their split, Kelly isn’t ready to let go. “He does not want things to be over and is still trying to get her to give him yet another chance,” the insider adds.
A history of drama between Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly
Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly’s love story has been nothing short of dramatic.
After going public in 2020, they quickly became one of Hollywood’s most talked-about couples.
They got engaged in January 2022, marking the occasion with a blood-drinking ritual, but their relationship soon showed cracks.
By February 2023, Fox had wiped her Instagram clean of Kelly, sparking rumors of infidelity. However, she fiercely denied these allegations with her trademark wit.
“There has been no third-party interference in this relationship of any kind,” she wrote in a now-deleted Instagram post.
“That includes, but is not limited to … actual humans, DMs, AI bots, or succubus demons. While I do hate to rob you of running random baseless news stories that would have been much more accurately written by ChatGPT, you need to let this story die and leave all of these innocent people alone now,” she declared.
After a brief split in 2023, the couple reconciled by August of that year. Still, Fox has expressed a desire to keep their relationship private.
Megan Fox reflects on 'twin soul' connection with Machine Gun Kelly amid dramatic breakup
Speaking on the 'Call Her Daddy' podcast in March 2024, she said, “I think that what I’ve learned from being in this relationship is that it’s not for public consumption.”
She also referred to Kelly as her “twin soul” and admitted, “There will always be a tether to him, no matter what. I can’t say for sure what the capacity will be, but I will always be connected to him somehow.”
The insider reveals that Fox remains resolute for now. “She’s staying firm right now that it is over,” the source said before adding, “But with their history of going back and forth and the insane connection and attraction they have, no one would be shocked if she were to break down and try again.”
Describing the current state of their relationship as “intense and dramatic,” the source concludes, “What she’s going through is beyond tough.”
