Megan Fox claims Machine Gun Kelly 'is a lot of different things and a lot of different people' as she discusses his complex personality during unearthed Drew interview - five months before calling off their engagement

Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly have become one of Hollywood's most talked about couples since going public with their PDA-packed relationship in early 2020.

And with a wedding around the corner, DailyMail.com is taking a look back at the unlikely duo's whirlwind romance from their first meeting to MGK's surprise proposal.

MARCH 2021

Megan and MGK reportedly first met on set of the Randall Emmett-directed feature Midnight in the Switchgrass in March 2020.

The 35-year-old actress and the 31-year-old musician ventured to Puerto Rico to shoot the crime drama with the likes of Bruce Willis and Emile Hirsch. 

Unfortunately, production was shutdown prematurely due to the COVID-19 pandemic. 

MAY 15 2020 

Romance rumors were officially sparked when pictures exclusively obtained by DailyMail.com showed Machine Gun Kelly and Megan grabbing lunch to-go in Calabasas, California.

At the time, Megan was still married to Beverly Hills, 90210 star Brian Austin Green - though the pair were separated at the time.

She did not appear to be wearing a wedding band on her outing with MGK.

A source divulged to E! News that Megan had 'gotten close' to Kelly and that they had 'been hooking up and have been for a little while.' 

MAY 18 2020 

Megan's ex Brian, 48, confirmed that he and the actress were no longer together on an episode of his ...with Brian Austin Green podcast.

He recalled feeling distant from Megan as she went out of the country to film Midnight in the Switchgrass and that her return only made the distance between them more evident. 

'She said, "I realized when I was out of the country working alone that I feel more like myself and I liked myself better during that experience and I think that might be something worth trying for me,"' he recalled of an alleged conversation he'd had with his then-wife.

Though he was 'shocked' by Megan's honest admission, they agreed to separate.

'We’ve had an amazing relationship and I will always love her and I know she’ll always love me,' Green remarked at the time, adding that they would co-parent amicably and make their children the focus.

They share three sons, Noah, nine, Bodhi, seven, and Journey, five.  

MAY 20 2020  

Megan and MGK's rumored coupledom was sent into overdrive upon the release of the rocker's Bloody Valentine music video.

In the three-minute and 30-second video, Megan plays a sexy abductor who holds MGK hostage.

The sexual tension between the duo was evident from shot-to-shot but they avoided sharing a kiss or indulging in any other forms of physical affection on screen.

JUNE 15 2020

After weeks of speculation and rumors, it was DailyMail.com that exclusively confirmed that Megan and MGK's romance was a-go after they were spotted holding hands and kissing in Sherman Oaks, California.

That same day, Machine Gun Kelly provided his own form of confirmation by referring to Megan as his 'girlfriend' in a tweet citing lyrics from Bloody Valentine.

'"i’m calling you girlfriend, what the f***" life imitated art on that one,' he tweeted.

JULY 2020

With their love out in the open, Fox and her punk rock boyfriend felt comfortable to go into full relationship mode.

The couple gave their first joint interview on on Lala Kent and Randall Emmett's podcast, Give Them Lala ... With Randall.

Megan recalled meeting her soon-to-be husband for the first time and how she knew right away that he was her 'twin flame.'

She explained: 'Instead of a soulmate, 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.'

Megan also revealed to the hosts that she'd asked hung out with MGK in her trailer and that things between them 'went deep right away' after exploring their astrological compatibility.

JULY 28 2020

Machine Gun Kelly made their romance 'Instagram Official' by uploading the couple's first-ever mirror selfie to the platform. 

'waited for eternity to find you again ...,' captioned the Rap Devil hitmaker, followed by a knife, shooting star, and heart emoji.

The photograph was in black-and-white and showed the pair sticking their tongues out for the camera.

AUGUST 5 2020

Megan's supposed 'amicable' split from ex Brian Austin Green was called into question after a post she shared to Instagram appeared to rile up the actor.

The Transformers actress uploaded a steamy snap of herself and Machine Gun Kelly fresh out of the pool with towels wrapped around their waists.

In her caption, she called MGK an 'Achingly Beautiful Boy' and declared that her 'heart is [his].'

Later in the day, Green used Fox's exact words to caption snaps of their three sons, as well as his 19-year-old son Kassius, on Twitter.

The apparent dig raised eyebrows since, just days prior, Brian had wished his ex 'the absolute best in everything' and even said he wanted 'her to be completely happy for her and for the kids,' as per the Hollywood Raw podcast.

SEPTEMBER 2020

Despite any behind-the-scenes drama, Megan and MGK's romance pushed on and the rocker openly discussed their relationship during an appearance on the Howard Stern Show.

Specifically, the Home singer admitted that he 'didn't know what [true love] was until me and [Megan] made eye contact.'

In relation to his hit record Tickets To My Downfall, MGK explained that he'd fallen in love with Megan after making most of the album's songs had been written and recorded.

'That was my first experience with being open to love and stuff like that. I definitely wasn't set up to believe that that's something that could ever exist.' 

OCTOBER 2020

After five months of dating, a source confirmed to People that Megan had finally introduced her three sons to Machine Gun Kelly.

While some appeared optimistic of the major relationship milestone, many sources alleged that Megan was not focused on jumping into another marriage so soon after her split from her husband of a decade.

'It should be light, but also we go to hell with each other.'

MGK added: 'I don't want people to think anything's perfect with us. I didn't say it was the darkest fairytale for no reason.' 

JANUARY 11 2022

After a year-and-a-half together, Machine Gun Kelly got down on one knee and asked Megan for her hand in marriage.

'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,' he explained on Instagram while announcing their engagement on January 12.
