Even “twin flames” need a little bit of space sometimes.
From elaborate engagements to public breakups, Megan Fox and MGK’s romance has dominated headlines ever since they were first linked in 2020.
Just two months after the pair met while filming “Midnight in the Switchgrass,” Brian Austin Green revealed he and the actress had split and were getting a divorce after 10 years of marriage.

By July 2020, Fox and MGK (real name: Colson Baker) were officially dating.
Since then, they have given us plenty to talk about, from PDA-packed red-carpet moments to blood-sucking rituals. Keep scrolling for a complete breakdown of the couple’s whirlwind romance.
March 2020: Met on set of “Midnight in the Switchgrass”
Fox and MGK met on the set of their indie crime thriller in Puerto Rico at the beginning of 2020. On March 11, the singer shared a since-deleted photo of their chairs next to one another.
However, the production was shut down less than a week later due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
During a joint October 2021 interview for GQ Style, Fox said she knew MGK was her “soulmate” the second they met on set.
“It was obvious from second one what it was going to be,” she said. However, she noted that they “didn’t hook up” right away.

Despite quarantine, the two sparked dating rumors after they were spotted hanging out together multiple times in May 2020.
The pair reportedly used Fox’s home as a hangout spot when her three children were with Green.
“They seem to have fun and look happy together,” a source told People at the time. “Megan only sees him when the kids are with Brian.”
May 2020: Music video love interests
Following weeks of speculation about their relationship, Fox starred alongside MGK in his “Bloody Valentine” music video.
In the video, the two share several intimate scenes, with the “Jennifer’s Body” actress at one point duct taping the rapper’s mouth shut and taking him hostage.
The following month, MGK told Teen Vogue that the video was his “favorite” for “personal reasons.” However, the pair still played coy about their relationship at the time.
July 2020: Confirmed romance
The pair confirmed their romance in July 2020 during an episode of the “Give Them Lala” podcast, which was co-hosted by Lala Kent and her then-boyfriend, “Midnight in the Switchgrass” producer Randall Emmett.
“I knew right away that he was what I call a twin flame,” Fox explained. “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.”
She added, “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.”
