MGK Owes His 'Lost Americana' to a Secret Rehab: Inside the Breakup with Megan Fox
Machine Gun Kelly Blames Himself for Explosive Split from Megan Fox
In a shocking revelation, musician Machine Gun Kelly (MGK) has taken full responsibility for his explosive split from actress Megan Fox just months before the birth of their first child together. The 35-year-old singer-songwriter has been open about his struggles with addiction and personal demons, but never more so than on his new album "Lost Americana", where he declares "I broke this home" in a haunting track called "Treading Water".
The Shocking Split
Last November, MGK and Fox, 39, stunned fans when they ended their relationship amidst rumors that she had discovered text messages with other women on his phone. The pair had been dating since 2020 and were expecting their first child together, but the news of their split sent shockwaves through the celebrity world.
MGK's Regret and Rehab Stint
In a candid interview with The New York Times' Popcast podcast, MGK opened up about his secret rehab stint at the end of last year. "I spent Christmas and New Year's, the whole month of December and late November, in a rehab facility," he revealed. "I came out, the world was very loud about me and my personal business." He also admitted that neither he nor Fox had spoken publicly about their split, which has been marred by rumors and speculation.
The Painful Process of Healing
On "Treading Water", MGK sings about his regret and desire to change for the sake of their daughter, Saga, who was born in March. "This'll be the last time you hear me say sorry / That'll be the last tear you waste on me crying / I broke this home, and just like my father, I'll die alone," he admits. The song is a powerful expression of his pain and vulnerability, as he grapples with the consequences of his actions.
A Glimpse into Their Relationship
MGK's lyrics offer a glimpse into their tumultuous relationship, which has been marked by ups and downs. "The beast killed the beauty; the last petal fell from the rose / And I loved you truly, that's why it's hard to let it go," he sings on "Treading Water". The song is a testament to his love for Fox, but also serves as a reminder of the pain they've endured together.
Their Relationship Timeline
MGK and Fox started dating in 2020 while working on the film Midnight in the Switchgrass. They welcomed their daughter Saga in March 2024, but their relationship was already showing signs of strain by early 2023. The pair briefly split before reconciling, only to ultimately call it quits in November 2024.
Their Whirlwind Romance
MGK proposed to Fox in January 2022 after a whirlwind romance that saw them go from dating to engaged in just over a year. However, their relationship was not without its challenges, as they faced rumors and speculation about their split.
Rekindling the Flame?
Rumors have been circulating about the pair rekindling their romance in recent weeks, with sightings of them together in Costa Rica with their daughter Saga. However, neither MGK nor Fox has officially confirmed their reunion.
MGK's Praise for Megan Fox
In a chat on the Today Show last month, MGK gushed about his ex-fiancée, saying "Megan is a great mom" and praising her for being an amazing partner to him. He also revealed that he hopes their daughter Saga will have a storytelling future ahead of her.
The Legacy of Their Relationship
As MGK and Fox continue to navigate their complicated relationship, one thing is certain: their love story has been one for the ages. From the highs of proposing to each other to the lows of addiction and personal demons, their relationship has been marked by passion, pain, and ultimately, a deeper understanding of themselves.
