Megan Fox is reportedly refusing to look backward as her former fiancé Machine Gun Kelly moves ahead with Dakota Johnson. The actress is said to be unfazed by the developing romance and has no interest in becoming involved in her ex's love life, as reported by The Daily Mail.

Fox, 40, shares an 18-month-old daughter, Saga Blade Fox-Baker, with the 36-year-old musician. Sources told TMZ that she has no plans to revisit their past relationship because her attention is fixed on other priorities.

According to insiders, Fox is currently single and intends to remain that way while focusing on motherhood and earning money. The report follows the launch of her exclusive content page on Subs.com and the release of her advertising campaign for telehealth company Ro.

Fox and Machine Gun Kelly, who was born Colson Baker, called off their engagement in November 2024. They welcomed Saga in March 2025, four months after their relationship reportedly ended.

The pair now reportedly communicate only about their daughter and the practical demands of shared parenting. A source told Us Weekly in late September, “MGK and Megan are done and only communicate about their daughter and co-parenting logistics.”

That source offered a blunt assessment of why the current arrangement suits them. “They both know they have toxic tendencies and it's much better this way.”

The rapper reportedly stopped trying to revive the romance several months earlier. The same source said he “will always love Megan and have a soft spot for her” but “gave up pursuing a romantic relationship with her several months ago.”

Fox and the musician had an on-and-off relationship lasting about four and a half years. Their relationship reportedly ended following claims that Fox discovered he had been communicating with other women.

Fox is also mother to sons Noah, 13, Bodhi, 11, and Journey, nine, from her previous marriage to Brian Austin Green. Machine Gun Kelly also has a 17-year-old daughter, Casie, with his former partner Emma Cannon.

A source told People in January that Fox's focus was firmly on her children and adjusting to a different stage in her life. “Their relationship at this point is just about co-parenting. Megan is focused on her kids and the baby and just getting settled into this new chapter. That's genuinely her priority.”

That source also said Fox appreciated how Machine Gun Kelly had supported her and their baby. Although they maintained separate homes, they were reportedly spending substantial time together as a family and prioritizing their daughter.

“Things are great now. He's amazing with the baby and she very much enjoys spending time with him,” the People source added. Even so, the latest reports indicate their connection does not extend beyond parenting Saga together.

Meanwhile, Johnson was spotted waiting for Machine Gun Kelly outside a Los Angeles recording studio the previous week. Sources have also claimed the relationship began growing after they spent time together at the July 4 wedding of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce.

A source told the Daily Mail that Johnson had spoken to friends about their chemistry. “She has told friends that they have great sexual chemistry and it's the best sex she has ever had; she calls it "fireworks,"” the source said.

Another insider close to Johnson said the pair had discussed their future and introducing Machine Gun Kelly to her family. The source claimed they had talked about children and believed they wanted the same eventual outcome: a family.

“They actually have a pretty firm foundation because they started out as friends and got to know each other well before ever having becoming romantic, so they know each other very well,” the insider added.

Johnson also appeared to make a playful reference to the romance while guest hosting Saturday Night Live. She mentioned having experienced “two very public, very lame breakups with two very awesome musicians” and joked that she was “looking for a third.”

Joined by Taylor Swift, whose Patient Zero music video features Johnson, the actress joked about performing a “public service” by dating musicians. She then referenced Cleveland, Machine Gun Kelly's hometown, with a smile and a wink.

Johnson previously spent six years with Coldplay frontman Chris Martin, who shares Apple, 22, and Moses, 20, with former wife Gwyneth Paltrow. She was later linked to singer Role Model and, a decade earlier, was involved with Drowners' lead singer Matthew Hitt.
