Actress Breaks Silence After MGK Split
Fox and Machine Gun Kelly, whose real name is Colson Baker, began their relationship in 2020 after meeting on the set of the crime thriller “Midnight in the Switchgrass.” The couple became engaged in January 2022, but their relationship status became unclear by late 2024, with multiple outlets reporting they had called off their engagement in December.
Despite their romantic difficulties, the couple successfully co-parented through Fox’s pregnancy and the birth of their daughter. MGK announced the baby’s arrival on social media, writing “she’s finally here!! our little celestial seed” alongside a video of the newborn, whom they welcomed while listening to a musical score composed by MGK and Travis Barker.
Previous Pregnancy Loss and Healing
The couple’s journey to parenthood was marked by previous tragedy, as Fox revealed in her 2023 book “Pretty Boys Are Poisonous” that she had suffered a miscarriage with MGK’s child. She described the experience as sending them “on a very wild journey together and separately” as they navigated the emotional aftermath.
When Fox announced her pregnancy in November 2024, she referenced this earlier loss with the caption “nothing is ever really lost. welcome back,” accompanied by a heart and baby emoji. The announcement came with a striking photo of Fox covered in black liquid while cradling her baby bump, according to TMZ.
Co-Parenting and Current Living Situation
Sources close to Fox indicate she is focused on her new baby and maintaining a positive co-parenting relationship with her ex-husband Brian Austin Green, with whom she shares three sons: Noah, 12, Bodhi, 11, and Journey, 8. She has reportedly been living independently and limiting contact with MGK while prioritizing her children’s wellbeing.
Fox has expressed gratitude for her co-parenting relationship with Green and his fiancée Sharna Burgess, describing their blended family dynamic as supportive during this transitional period. She has chosen to keep details about her relationship with MGK private, stating on a podcast that their connection “is not for public consumption.”
Empowering Message About Women and Age
Fox used her pregnancy revelation as an opportunity to address societal expectations about women and aging. “We do not have an expiration date. Don’t let them rob you of your power,” she wrote, challenging conventional narratives about women’s capabilities and reproductive choices at different life stages.
The “Transformers” star’s message resonated with fans who appreciated her candor about unplanned pregnancy and her rejection of ageist attitudes. Her social media return marked the end of an extended hiatus during which she had deleted all previous posts from her Instagram account, according to TMZ.
Professional Projects and Future Plans
Despite personal challenges, Fox has continued working on professional projects, including her role in the Prime Video series “Overcompensating.” She used the pregnancy announcement as an opportunity to promote the show, demonstrating her commitment to balancing motherhood with her entertainment career.
As she adjusts to life as a mother of four, Fox appears focused on creating stability for her children while maintaining her independence. Her decision to share details about the unplanned nature of her pregnancy reflects a broader trend among celebrities choosing authenticity over carefully curated public images, particularly regarding family planning and personal challenges.
