Pregnant Megan Fox Has Been ‘Distraught’ Since Machine Gun Kelly Split: ‘She Was Blind-Sided’ (Exclusive Source)

Megan Fox was caught off guard by the latest rift in her on-off relationship with Machine Gun Kelly.

The Subservience actress and the musician broke up in late November, just weeks after announcing that they are expecting their first baby together.

A source close to Fox says the actress was “blind-sided” by the recent split, adding, “She’s been distraught.” Still, Fox is “trying to focus on” preparing for the baby on the way: “It’s her priority.”

Reps for both stars have not responded to PEOPLE’s requests for comment.

Fox and Kelly, a.k.a. Colson Baker, met while making the movie Midnight in the Switchgrass together, and got engaged in January 2022.

They’re both already parents: Fox has Noah, 12, Bodhi, 10, and Journey, 8, with ex-husband Brian Austin Green, while Kelly is dad to daughter Casie, 15.

Another source said Fox and Kelly’s romance “has always been bumpy” and there’s a possibility they’ll reconcile soon.

“They love each other but don’t have compatible personalities. They’re both hot-heads, dramatic and stubborn. When they’re good together, they’re great,” said that source, adding, “They will very likely get back together. They’ve split in the past and then worked things out.”

Still, they have “both been ecstatic about the baby,” said that source: “They really wanted this baby.”

While on the Call Her Daddy podcast back in March, Fox said that “what I’ve learned from being in this relationship is that it’s not for public consumption,” after host Alex Cooper noted the pair’s public engagement and relationship ups and downs.

“What I can say, that [Kelly is] what I refer to as being my twin soul, and there will always be a tether to him, no matter what. I can’t say for sure what the capacity will be, but I will always be connected to him somehow,” she said at the time.

“Beyond that, I’m not willing to explain,” the Jennifer’s Body star added. “But all those things you said were accurate things that have occurred, and I can see them being confusing or interesting to people and them being like, ‘What’s up?’ “
