Megan Fox has courageously shared the heartbreaking experience of suffering a miscarriage during her relationship with fiancé Machine Gun Kelly (MGK), shedding light on a deeply personal chapter that profoundly affected both of them. In a revealing interview on Good Morning America aired November 7, the 37-year-old actress described the emotional and physical toll the loss took on her and MGK, whose real name is Colson Baker.
“I had never been through anything like that before in my life,” Fox said candidly. “I have three kids, so it was very difficult for both of us, and it sent us on a very wild journey together and separately and together and apart… trying to navigate, ‘What does this mean?’ and ‘Why did this happen?’” Her words convey the complex grief and confusion that followed the miscarriage, highlighting the couple’s struggle to find meaning and healing amidst their pain.
Fox’s reflections on the loss are poignantly captured in her newly released poetry collection, Pretty Boys Are Poisonous, which debuted on the same day as her interview. In two powerful poems, she writes about the pregnancy and its devastating end. One section recalls an ultrasound image of a baby girl at just over 10 weeks, with haunting lines like, “Maybe if you hadn’t … maybe if I had.” Another poem vividly expresses the anguish of losing her unborn child, imagining the baby being “ripped from my insides” and pleading, “I will pay any price / Tell me please / What is the ransom / For her soul?”
The relationship between Fox and MGK began in an unexpected way: as co-stars on the film Midnight in the Switchgrass in March 2020. At the time, Fox was still married to actor Brian Austin Green. However, the connection between Fox and Baker quickly blossomed into something more intense and transformative. Just two months after meeting, the nature of their relationship shifted dramatically, marking the beginning of a highly publicized and passionate romance.
Fans had long speculated about the couple’s miscarriage following the release of MGK’s 2022 track “Last November,” which many interpreted as an emotional tribute to their lost baby. The song’s lyrics poignantly reference the heartbreak, “One day and another 10 weeks / I never even got to hear your heartbeat,” and mourn the loss with the line, “Tell me, could I save your life if I pressed rewind? / I wish I could go back to November last year.” The vulnerability in MGK’s music gave the public a glimpse into the private sorrow that Fox has now openly discussed.
Adding to the emotional weight, MGK dedicated a performance of his song “Twin Flame” at the Billboard Music Awards in 2022 to Fox, calling her his “wife” and honoring their “unborn child.” This public acknowledgment underscored the depth of their connection despite the heartbreak.
Fox and MGK’s journey has been anything but smooth. The actress, who shares three sons—Noah (11), Bodhi (9), and Journey (7)—with her ex-husband Brian Austin Green, has navigated co-parenting while building her life with MGK. Meanwhile, Baker is a father to daughter Casie, 14, from a previous relationship. Their blended family dynamics and the challenges of fame have only added layers to their complex relationship.
Despite the ups and downs since their romance began, Fox credits MGK with encouraging her to channel her emotions into creative expression. “The person who actually told me I should write a poetry book is Colson,” she revealed on Good Morning America. “I just think it was something inside of me that had to come out, because it was going to make me sick.” This collaboration between the couple, through both art and healing, reflects their shared desire to make sense of their pain and emerge stronger.
However, the couple is taking a cautious approach to their future plans. According to an insider source speaking to Us Weekly last month, Fox and MGK have pressed pause on wedding preparations, despite initially being “in wedding planning mode” early in their relationship. The source explained that the two are “both very hot tempered,” and decided to step back to avoid triggering unnecessary conflicts. Their focus now lies in solidifying their relationship’s foundation before embarking on the significant commitment of marriage.
“The first attempt [at wedding planning] was such a huge undertaking and took its strain” on their romance, the insider added. This suggests that, while Fox and MGK’s love story is intense and passionate, they are mindful of the pressures that external expectations can place on their bond.
Beyond the miscarriage and relationship dynamics, Megan Fox continues to confront broader challenges in her career, notably sexism and misogyny. Known for her fearless honesty, Fox has publicly criticized the industry’s treatment of women since her breakout role in Transformers. Her willingness to address personal and professional struggles alike has garnered respect and empathy from fans and peers.
In sharing her miscarriage and subsequent healing process, Megan Fox not only humanizes the experience of loss but also offers a raw and unfiltered look at how trauma can affect a relationship. Her openness may provide comfort to many who have faced similar hardships, reminding us all that even amid heartbreak, there is potential for growth, understanding, and resilience.
As Fox and MGK navigate their future—balancing past pain, creative expression, and love—one thing is clear: their journey is a complex blend of struggle and strength, marked by the courage to speak their truth.
