- Celebrities. Megan Fox puts problems aside and attends Machine Gun Kelly's birthday party
Megan Fox has ignited a whirlwind of pregnancy rumors following her cameo in Machine Gun Kelly and Jelly Roll's latest music video, "Lonely Road." Released on Friday, the video features MGK, whose real name is Colson Baker, kissing Fox's apparent baby bump while she dons multiple tight dresses, sending fans into a frenzy of speculation.
In the video, Fox, 38, and her on-again, off-again boyfriend MGK, 33, are seen playing with a little girl, adding to the confusion. The credits only fueled the fire with the cryptic line, "Introducing: Baby Violet Leika," leaving fans to wonder if Fox is pregnant in real life.
Social media erupted with questions, congratulations, and debates over the true nature of the bump. Some fans were quick to point out that Fox has made numerous public appearances over the summer, including a Summer Solstice Celebration in June and Michael Rubin's white party in July, without any sign of a pregnancy.
Did Internet sleuths discover the real baby?
One Reddit user even discovered an Instagram comment from a woman claiming to be the mother of the child in the video, clarifying that Fox is not pregnant and that the bump was purely for the video. She praised her baby girl for her performance, stating she had "so much fun."
Despite this clarification, neither Fox nor MGK's representatives have commented on the matter.
Meanwhile, TikTok user Patrick VDV speculated that the video and its lyrics, which sample John Denver's "Take Me Home, Country Roads," might be a symbolic representation of the couple mourning their previous pregnancy loss. MGK referenced the miscarriage in his song "Don't Let Me Go" last year, and Fox shared her experience in her poetry book, "Pretty Boys Are Poisonous."
Megan has suffered two miscarriages
Fox, who shares three children with ex-husband Brian Austin Green, revealed in a November 2023 interview with WWD that the loss was "harder" than her previous ectopic pregnancy, leading to significant grief and suffering.
The couple, who began dating in 2020 and got engaged two years later, faced breakup rumors in 2023. Fox confirmed on the "Call Her Daddy" podcast in March that they are no longer engaged but maintained that there would "always be a tether" to MGK.
The "Jennifer's Body" star and the Grammy nominee, despite the ups and downs in their relationship, continue to make headlines. Their latest music video ends with the pair sharing a kiss, keeping fans guessing about the true nature of their relationship and whether there's a new addition to their family on the horizon.
