Speculation is swirling once again around Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly after the former couple was spotted together in public, reigniting rumors that they may be giving their romance another shot. Recent sightings of the two have fueled online chatter, but sources close to the situation say the reality behind the scenes is far less romantic than it appears.
According to insiders, Fox, 39, and Kelly, 35—born Colson Baker—are not back together despite being seen side by side multiple times in recent weeks. While their public appearances have sparked reunion buzz, those in the know stress that the pair are still very much separated and focused on navigating life after their breakup.
The former power couple, whose intense four-year relationship ended shortly before the birth of their daughter, Saga Blade Fox-Baker, last year, have been spotted at family-friendly locations around Los Angeles. These outings, which include visits to places like the Getty Center and nighttime events such as LA Zoo Lights in late November 2025, have led many fans to believe a quiet reconciliation might be underway in 2026.
Sources, however, insist the shared appearances are rooted in co-parenting rather than romance. Fox and MGK are said to be prioritizing stability for their daughter and making a conscious effort to keep things calm after a turbulent period marked by public drama and emotional highs and lows.
Despite even traveling together to Costa Rica in July 2025 for what was described as a reconciliation-focused retreat, the two are reportedly still living separate lives. Fox purchased a new home in December 2024, and insiders say she maintains primary custody of their daughter, with MGK visiting regularly and staying actively involved as a father.
Behind the scenes, sources describe the situation as a kind of “holiday truce.” After a rocky 2024 that saw their engagement end and both move into separate homes—reportedly following Fox discovering troubling material on Baker’s phone—the shift into 2026 has been about setting boundaries and restoring balance. Those close to Fox say she has been clear that her child comes first and that she’s focused on creating a safe, nurturing environment.
MGK, for his part, has spoken openly about personal growth since the split. After previously attributing their breakup to the pressures of fame, he has more recently praised Fox as an incredible mother. His frequent visits to her home, sometimes stretching late into the night, have only added fuel to speculation that the two may be drifting back toward each other. Still, insiders firmly deny that any official reconciliation has taken place.
Trust remains a major hurdle. Friends say the emotional intensity of their past relationship continues to loom large, and while they’ve made progress in communicating more calmly, old wounds haven’t fully healed. Fox, who once described their bond as a “twin flame” connection, is reportedly cautious about reopening that chapter given their history of very public ups and downs.
An unexpected factor in the evolving dynamic is Fox’s ex-husband, Brian Austin Green. Reports suggest his support during Fox’s pregnancy, along with comments he made on Michael Rosenbaum’s podcast about staying in one’s own lane, may have influenced MGK to step up as a parent. That shift appears to have eased tensions and helped create a more cooperative atmosphere.
As 2026 gets underway, those close to the pair say the real story isn’t about a dramatic reunion, but about growth. While Fox and MGK seem comfortable being seen together again, significant emotional and physical distance remains. For longtime fans of their headline-grabbing romance, this phase may represent their most stable chapter yet—not as lovers, but as co-parents determined to put their child first.
