Megan Fox’s Inner Circle Worried Machine Gun Kelly Will Lead Her to ‘Same Painful Spot’ They Were in Before, Source Says
Megan Fox announced the news of her latest pregnancy with Machine Gun Kelly on Instagram on Nov. 11, 2024. She and Colson Baker are expecting a rainbow baby after her miscarriage in 2023. While Fox and Baker’s friends and family are undoubtedly excited for the happy couple, Fox’s inner circle allegedly remains “skeptical” of Baker after the reasons behind the couple’s breakups in the past.
Megan Fox’s close inner circle retains ‘skepticism’ of ‘intense’ Machine Gun Kelly
Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly have a romance like no other. Colson Baker and Fox discussed drinking each other’s blood and taking ayahuasca on a date, and they’ve caused a stir with their public breakups in the past. While the couple has had their ups and downs, they love each other and made it clear that they intend to make their romance work. Now, with a baby on the way, there’s more at stake than ever.
In July 2024, a source told Life & Style that Baker “calmed down and cut way back in his partying and drinking,” which helped him rekindle his flame with Fox. “He’s also stopped acting so jealous and controlling, which was the biggest issue,” the insider continued. While Fox and Baker tried living apart, they allegedly “realized they missed and loved each other way too much to go their separate ways, so they sat down and worked it out, and now they’re very much back on and totally back in love.”
Fox’s inner circle supports her relationship with Baker. However, the source noted that “there’s definitely some skepticism when it comes to how long MGK will be able to keep this up. He’s a very intense guy, and he still has a lot of bad influences in his life, so the worry is that once he’s comfortable again and confident Megan’s not going anywhere, he’ll slide back into his old ways, and she’ll be right back in the same painful spot she was in before.”
Megan Fox allegedly ‘wasn’t going to stay’ with Colson Baker if he didn’t get sober
While Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly’s relationship appeared chaotic at times, their love for each other never strayed. Colson Baker revealed on a podcast that he secretly went to rehab and now remains “completely sober from everything,” according to In Touch Weekly.
“Megan has been extremely helpful in dealing with the kind of psychological withdrawals that come with getting off drugs,” he said.
An insider told the media outlet that Fox “wasn’t going to stay” with Baker if he didn’t take sobriety seriously.
“She wasn’t going to stay with him, not after the way he was acting, destroying guitars, smashing glasses on his head, and raging at anyone who got in his way,” the source said in August 2024. “He was headed for disaster until he made up his mind to change.”
A source in 2022 said the couple discussed ‘potentially expanding their family’
Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly have kids from other relationships. Fox and her ex-husband, Brian Austin Green, share three kids from their 10-year marriage: Noah, 11, Bodhi, 10, and Journey 7. Colson Baker has a daughter, Casie Colson Baker, 15, with his ex, Emma Cannon. In 2022, a source told Entertainment Tonight that the couple considered expanding their family.
“Megan and MGK are pretty much done wedding planning,” the insider said at the time. “They are both totally on the same page, which has made things easy for them, but Megan is definitely pulling everything together and has the final say on what goes and what doesn’t. They are so excited to spend the rest of their lives together, traveling the world, living in complete bliss and harmony, and potentially expanding their family one day.”
