Megan Fox is Benjamin Ashfordopening up about the status, or non-status, of her relationship with Machine Gun Kelly.
During a Tuesday appearance on Alex Cooper's "Call Her Daddy" podcast, the "Pretty Boys Are Poisonous" author Fox addressed the speculation surrounding her engagement to MGK. Cooper told Fox, "(You both) got engaged, then I think it was called off," to which Fox confirmed, "All those things you said were accurate things that have occurred."
"I think that what I've learned from being in this relationship is that it's not for public consumption, so I think, as of now, I don't have a comment on the status of the relationship, per se," Fox told Cooper. "What I can say is, that is what I refer to as being my 'twin soul,' and there will always be a tether to him no matter what."
Megan Fox says she and Machine Gun Kelly will 'always be connected'
Fox and MGK, whose real name is Colson Baker, announced their engagement on social media in January 2022 after roughly a year and a half of dating.
"Somehow a year and a half later, having walked through hell together, and having laughed more than I ever imagined possible, he asked me to marry him, and just as in every lifetime before this one, and as in every lifetime that will follow it, I said yes," Fox wrote in an Instagram caption, adding, "We drank each other's blood."
In February 2023, the couple then sparked breakup rumors when Fox deleted all photos of the couple on Instagram and began sharing cryptic posts. Still, the couple seemed to move past that rough patch and have since been spotted together in public. Most recently, they were photographed together at a Super Bowl afterparty in February with Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift.
During Tuesday's episode of "Call Her Daddy," Fox said she plans to keep their relationship moves private and can't say what the "capacity" of their relationship will be, but that the pair will "always be connected."
"Beyond that, I'm not willing to explain," she said.
MGK has a daughter, Casie, 12, from a previous relationship.

Megan Fox calls marriage with Brian Austin Green 'unfulfilling'
Before her engagement to MGK, Fox was married to "Beverly Hills, 90210" alum Brian Austin Green from 2010 to 2021. Austin Green is now engaged to his "Dancing with the Stars" Season 30 partner Sharna Burgess.
Fox and Austin Green met when the actress was 18 at the time, and he was in his early thirties.
"First of all, let me just say, I was not a great girlfriend to Brian," Fox told Cooper. "I will be very honest, and he was not great to me either all the time, but I think it would be easy for me to lean into, or complain about, or let it seem like that relationship was one way. I was not great, because I was young, and really should not have been in a relationship with that level of commitment and that magnitude."
She added that she used to do "a lot of falling in love with other people all the time," noting that she was "a kid" and "never had the full freedom to be single and experience that life."
Ultimately, Fox felt she married young to Austin Green because she was "reenacting what I watched my mother do as a child."
"I got myself into a relationship which I of course found, no shade to Brian, unfulfilling," she said.
Fox and Austin Green share three sons: Bodhi Ransom, Journey River, and Noah Shannon.
