Megan Fox Unbothered by Machine Gun Kelly's Romance with Dakota Johnson

Megan Fox is reportedly unfazed by her ex-partner Machine Gun Kelly's new relationship with Dakota Johnson. Fox, 40, who shares 18-month-old daughter Saga Blade Fox-Baker with the musician, 36, is not interested in revisiting their past relationship and is instead prioritizing other aspects of her life, sources told TMZ.

Insiders have indicated that Fox is currently single and intends to remain so, focusing on her role as a mother and her professional endeavors. This comes as Fox recently launched an exclusive content page on Subs.com and debuted a new advertising campaign for the telehealth company Ro.

The former couple, who called off their engagement in November 2024 and welcomed their child in March 2025, reportedly maintain no relationship beyond co-parenting logistics. A source told Us Weekly in late September that they are "done and only communicate about their daughter and co-parenting logistics." The source added, "They both know they have toxic tendencies and it's much better this way."

While the rapper will reportedly "always love Megan and have a soft spot for her," he "gave up pursuing a romantic relationship with her several months ago." Fox and Machine Gun Kelly, born Colson Baker, welcomed their daughter in March 2025, just four months after their relationship reportedly ended in November 2024 amid claims the actress discovered he had been communicating with other women. Fox is also mother to three sons from her previous marriage to Brian Austin Green.

Johnson was recently spotted waiting for Machine Gun Kelly outside a Los Angeles recording studio. Sources close to Johnson have indicated that things are intensifying between them, stemming from time spent together at a wedding in July. Johnson has reportedly told friends that she and Machine Gun Kelly share "great sexual chemistry" and have discussed their future, including the possibility of starting a family. They reportedly began as friends and developed a strong foundation before their romance began.

Johnson previously had a six-year relationship with Coldplay frontman Chris Martin, with whom she shares two children. She was also linked to indie singer Role Model and, a decade ago, to Matthew Hitt, the lead singer of the Drowners.
