Megan Fox’s ex-husband Brian Austin Green has set the record straight regarding cheating allegations between the actress and her current boyfriend, Machine Gun Kelly.
The Transformers actress’ relationship with MGK has been a source of pop-culture fascination ever since they shacked up in 2020, with the on-off couple making headlines for ‘drinking’ each others blood, declaring themselves twin souls (whatever that means) and sharing pretty NSFW details about their romance.
However, the timeline of their relationship also attracted attention, with many fans speculating if there was any overlap between the end of Fox’s marriage to 90210 star Green, and the beginning of her relationship with the rapper (real name Colson Baker).

When did Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly begin dating?
The pair were first introduced while filming Midnight in the Switchgrass together alongside Bruce Willis and Emile Hirsch, and would go on to publicly confirm their romance in the summer of 2020.
However, there was been a little confusion amongst fans in regards to the beginning of their relationship, due to the fact that Fox was still married to Green at the time of shooting their crime thriller movie.
Production on Midnight in the Switchgrass would be halted in March 2020 due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Two months later, Green would confirm that he and Fox were separating after a decade of marriage during an episode of his podcast.
“We’ve had an amazing relationship and I will always love her and I know she’ll always love me,” Green said, adding that Fox had come to the realisation after spending time away on set.
One month later and Fox would be papped kissing the rapper, with Kelly later confirming their relationship in the July via a post on Instagram.

A short gap between the two relationships
Meanwhile Fox would wait until November 2020 before officially filing for divorce, with the separation being finalised the following May, 11 years after they originally wed.
The short gap between the end of her marriage and the beginning of her relationship with Kelly led many to wonder if infidelity had been a driving factor in the end of Fox and Green’s marriage.
However, the rumours were something which Green made sure to clarify on the same podcast episode, making it clear that ‘cheating’ did not cause their marriage to come to an end.

Fast forward four years and Green has now happily moved on with Dancing with the Stars professional Sharna Burgess. The pair welcomed their first child together in 2022, and announced their engagement a year later.
Meanwhile, Fox’s romance with MGK has gone through numerous highs and lows. The couple announced their engagement in January 2022, only to call it off a year later.
Fox and Kelly have since neither confirmed nor denied whether or not they are still together.
