After a couple of days filming together, Megan said she felt a special connection with Kelly. "I knew right away that he was what I call a twin flame. Instead of a soul mate, a twin flame is actually where a soul has ascended into a high enough level that it can be split into two different bodies at the same time. So we're actually two halves of the same soul, I think. And I said that to him almost immediately, because I felt it right away."
She continued, "I asked him to come into my trailer for lunch, and I put him through all of this astrology stuff. I went deep right away. I knew before I even did his chart, I said to him, he has a Pisces moon. I could tell by his energy."
During the podcast, astrologist Susan Miller said that the couple appeared to be destined to get married.

Hmmm, we wonder what MGK's nicknames are for Megan?

ICYMI, Megan posted a series of pics to social media wearing a neon green body suit paired with a double denim co-ord. And, despite carrying a matching green handbag, like most of us Megan was holding her mobile phone in her hand. Here's where the trolling comes in.
If you zoom in closely on the phone, you can just make out the screensaver, which is a pic of MGK. Naturally, he took the opportunity to poke fun at his girlfriend in front of her 13.4 million followers and commented: "I like your lock screen."
We can't wait to see how Megan gets him back for that one.

Erm, do we want to know any more?
Megan and Kelly certainly aren't afraid of a bit of PDA, having previously shared some fairly intimate selfies together (including one wearing just towels) so, to be honest, we wouldn't expect anything less from these two.12 October 2021: Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly cover British GQ Style together, and give a fairly intense insight into their relationship, as well as the first time they met years ago.
"This weird thing happened," Megan said. "We didn't see each other. I don't remember [his] face. 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.
"I think we weren't allowed to see each other yet. We weren't supposed to run into each other that night, so our souls, our spirit guides, were luring us away from each other, because you literally had no face, like that thing from Spirited Away.
"It is hard to see his face in general, but really he had no face that night. Thank God, [because] what torture had I known [he was] there and I couldn't get to [him]. It was better that I didn't know."
Wow ok there Megan. She added, "This is a very intense relationship. 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. It should be light, but also we go to hell with each other."
MGK then said, "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 fairytale for no reason."
We have no words.
15 October 2021: Megan Fox reveals her surprising nickname for Machine Gun Kelly, and it's probably not something you'd expect.
Sitting down together during an interview with GQ, Megan casually let the nickname slip, and it's got fans pretty confused to say the least. Playing a couple's quiz game with the publication, Megan asked MGK what her hidden talent is, with the singer looking like he might be about to say something NSFW.
In reaction, Megan tells Kelly, "No, Buddha, don't you dare. Don't you dare." The couple didn't expand on the origins of the nickname, but it certainly seems to be what Megan calls MGK rather than his real name Colson.
Megan shared clips from the interview on Instagram, and it seems fans were fairly confused by the revelation, with one simply commenting, "Buddha?"
Other updates from the video include Megan thinking MGK looks like a meerkat, so that's something.
12 January 2022: Surprise! Megan and MGK are going to be husband and wife, after announcing their engagement to the world. Sharing the happy news, he wrote, "Yes, in this life and every life' 💍 beneath the same branches we fell in love under, I brought her back to ask her to marry me.
"I know tradition is one ring, but I designed it with Stephen Webster to be two: the emerald (her birth stone) and the diamond (my birth stone) set on two magnetic bands of thorns that draw together as two halves of the same soul forming the obscure heart that is our love. 1-11-2022 ✨"
Megan added, "In July of 2020 we sat under this banyan tree / 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 1.11.22 ✨"
