After making their relationship Instagram official in July 2020, Megan Fox now sees Machine Gun Kelly as her “soulmate.”
The power couple graces the cover of British GQ Style’s Autumn/Winter issue, in what the publication is calling their first cover as a duo. In the extensive interview, Fox and MGK discuss their relationship, which began after they met on the set of Midnight In The Switchgrass. But according to the duo, they actually first crossed paths at a GQ party in Los Angeles years earlier. But according to them, the encounter was far from memorable.
“I don’t remember your face… And I definitely would have remembered his face,’ Fox said about their first encounter. “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.”
Elsewhere in the story, Fox explains that while she was “open” to love at the time, she didn’t “anticipate walking right into my soulmate like that,” and compared meeting MGK to “meeting your own soul’s reflection.”
“I was obviously over the way I had been living, and those paths lined up, those doors opened,” Fox shared. “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.”
Through their relationship, the rapper-turned-pop-punk-mainstay revealed to the publication that his girlfriend has helped him with trauma.
“She’s helped me realize that you can’t bury trauma,” MGK said. “No one knows anything about me. They don’t know how deep the rabbit hole goes with my childhood and with everything that my body has stored in itself.”
“This is a very intense relationship,” Fox added. “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.”
MGK added that they sometimes “go to hell with each other,” and described their relationship as “ecstasy and agony, adding that he “doesn’t want people to think anything’s perfect with us.”
