The news outlet also stated that MGK left the Colorado trip early than he was supposed to and since then, the duo hadn’t seen each other. Megan Fox announced her pregnancy in November and the baby is due in March 2025.

In an interview with GQ in 2021, Megan Fox said she was trying to save herself from falling in love with MGK but couldn’t help herself. Speaking to the magazine outlet, she said,
“[I was] definitely open [to] love, but I did not anticipate walking right into my soulmate like that. I was obviously over the way I had been living, and those paths lined up, those doors opened.”
MGK and Megan Fox got engaged in January 2022 after the rapper proposed to her. A month later, they adopted a kitten whom they named Whiskey. In May 2022, the couple got similar tattoos. The following year, it went viral that the two were working on their relationship as Fox removed the ring from her finger.
