Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly haven’t been shy about putting their love on display, but they want everyone to know they have their ups and downs like any other couple.
In a recent joint interview with British GQ, MGK (real name Colson Baker) and the Jennifer’s Body actress got candid about the nature of their relationship.
While their “very intense relationship” has “euphoric highs” Megan jokes that there’s also “the demonic side.”
“Our souls chose this to absolutely have to face our shadow selves; to face things about ourselves we didn’t want to have to know, that we tried to push away,” she explains.
“It should be light, but also we go to hell with each other,” he seconded. “It’s ecstasy and agony for sure… I don’t want people to think anything’s perfect with us. I didn’t say it was the darkest fairy tale for no reason.”
They also revealed that working together on the set of their movie Midnight In The Switchgrass wasn’t actually the first time they encountered each other. They already bumped into one another a few years earlier at a party – but they also have a reason why the chance encounter doesn’t really count.
“This weird thing happened,” Megan recalls. “We didn’t see each other.” Turning to her beau, she asks, “Do you remember [seeing] my face?”
“That’s what’s crazy,” he says, “I don’t. I don’t remember your face.”
“I don’t remember your face… And I definitely would have remembered his face,” she continues. “I just remember this tall, blond, ghostly creature and I looked up and I was like, ‘You smell like weed.’ He looked down at me and he was like, ‘I am weed.’ Then, I swear to God, he disappeared like a ninja in a smoke bomb.”
Last year, MGK admitted to Howard Stern he found himself falling in love “for the first time” with Megan and their relationship has made him “a better person.”
Megan has been candid about how their connection goes beyond the physical, calling MGK her “twin flame” and her “soulmate” in previous interviews. She also once revealed they were able to forge a “magical” connection despite only working together for two days on their film.
“The first time I looked into his eyes, I was like, ‘I know you. I have known you so many times, in so many different forms, in so many different lives,’ ” she told the Washington Post.
She once again relived their first actual meeting, telling the magazine that at the time, she wasn’t really expecting to meet her soulmate.
“[I was] definitely open [to] love, but I did not anticipate walking right into my soulmate like that,” she shared. “I was obviously over the way I had been living, and those paths lined up, those doors opened. It was [as if] all the obstacles that had kept us apart all those years [had been removed] and we were able to finally intersect.”
Megan is mom to three sons – nine-year old Noah, seven-year-old Bodhi, and five-year-old Journey – whom she shares with ex Brian Austin Green; while MGK is dad to 13-year-old daughter Cassie. And they may also be looking ahead, as Megan introduced MGK as her “future baby daddy” at the 2021 MTV VMA Awards.
