Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly deserve congratulations.
After a year and a half of dating, the entertainers announced their engagement on Instagram on Wednesday. Fox published a video of MGK proposing to his girlfriend under a banyan tree, which holds significant significance for the couple.
“In July of 2020 we sat under this banyan tree,” the Transformers star wrote. “We asked for magic. We were oblivious to the pain we would face together in such a short, frenetic period of time. Unaware of the work and sacrifices the relationship would require from us but intoxicated off of the love. And the karma. 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. …and then we drank each other’s blood.”
Fox and MGK reportedly met on the set of Midnight in the Switchgrass in March 2020. Despite the fact that Fox was still married to Brian Austin Green at the time, the actor later revealed the couple had been separated since late 2019. Fox and Green, who married for ten years and had three children together, divorced in October, months after Fox and MGK acknowledged their love involvement.
“Loving [MGK] is like being in love with a tsunami or a forest fire,” Fox told Nylon back in November. “The intensity of merging with him is just overwhelming, and the threat it poses is so powerful but so beautiful that you have no choice to surrender with reverence and with gratitude.”
