Megan Fox, renowned for her role in “The Expendables,” unveiled a captivating new look while stepping out with her partner, Machine Gun Kelly, in New York City on Monday. The couple was seen departing from Soho House, capturing the attention of onlookers with their stylish appearance.
The 37-year-old actress, known for her signature brunette tresses, made a bold and daring transformation, debuting short, fiery red hair during their outing.
Machine Gun Kelly, whose real name is Colson Baker and who is 33 years old, lovingly wrapped his arm around his fiancée’s shoulder. Megan Fox graced the occasion in a strappy navy blue polka dot mini dress, elegantly accessorized with gold necklaces. In contrast, Machine Gun Kelly opted for silver necklaces while donning a pastel orange tank top paired with dark khaki-colored pants.
The romantic journey of Fox and Kelly began in March 2020 during the filming of “Midnight in the Switchgrass” in Puerto Rico. Unfortunately, due to the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, production on the project was temporarily halted.
However, during this pause in filming, the two co-stars found love and grew closer, ultimately kindling a romantic relationship. By May 2020, a source revealed to PEOPLE that the pair had been “spending time together at Megan’s house,” emphasizing that they appeared to be enjoying each other’s company. The source noted that Megan Fox only saw Machine Gun Kelly when her children were with her ex-husband, Brian Austin Green.
In that same month, Fox and Kelly joined forces once again, this time for Kelly’s “Bloody Valentine” music video.
Megan Fox and Brian Austin Green had initially tied the knot in 2010, having met on the set of the ABC sitcom “Hope & Faith” in 2004. They shared three sons together: Noah Shannon (10), Bodhi Ransom (9), and Journey River (7). However, their marriage came to an end in May 2020, with Fox officially filing for divorce in November 2020, citing irreconcilable differences.
Fast forward to January 2022, Megan Fox accepted Machine Gun Kelly’s marriage proposal, revealing that they solidified their bond through a unique ritual. In an Instagram post, she recounted the pivotal moment under a banyan tree in July 2020, expressing their desires for magic, unaware of the challenges that lay ahead. She mentioned that they had “walked through hell together” and said yes to his proposal before sharing a symbolic act of drinking each other’s blood on January 11, 2022.
To clarify, Fox later explained in an April 2022 cover story interview with British Glamour that the blood exchange was “just a few drops” and solely for ritualistic purposes.
Their relationship faced a brief setback in February 2023 when an insider disclosed to PEOPLE that the couple had a disagreement over the weekend, causing Fox to become upset and avoid speaking to Machine Gun Kelly. She also posted cryptic song lyrics on her Instagram before deactivating her account.
However, by June, it appeared that the couple had worked through their issues and rekindled their romance. A source revealed to PEOPLE that they had put in significant effort to strengthen their relationship and were back together. Megan Fox was spotted wearing her engagement ring once more, and while they remained engaged, wedding plans were not yet in the works.
The insider noted, “She seems much happier,” suggesting that love had indeed triumphed.
