The public airing of dirty laundry always seemed an integral part of their famously fiery relationship.

Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly had no qualms about sharing the intimate details of their sex life, with Fox even detailing how they once drank each other’s blood as part of some sort of ritual.

Not to be outdone, Kelly proposed in January 2022 with a $340,000 ring made in a thorn-like design, deliberately so Fox would hurt herself if she ever tried taking it off.

‘Love is pain,’ Kelly explained in an interview. 

But that love was also not destined to last. The couple called off the engagement in November, with 34-year-old rapper Kelly – real name Colson Baker – being accused of messaging other women.

Then, in a shock twist that same month, Fox, 38, announced she was pregnant with Kelly’s child in a nude photoshoot.

Megan Fox made clear she would rather go it alone as a parent without Machine Gun Kelly, prompting a bitter feud between him and her ex Brian Austin Green who vowed to help her

‘Brian told Megan he’ll be there for her to help out in any way with the new baby – even though Machine Gun Kelly is the father,’ said one insider

Fox gave birth – to a baby girl – on Thursday, with Kelly proudly announcing the news on his Instagram, saying, ‘She’s finally here!! our little celestial seed.’

The happy news came after Fox revealed in 2023 that she had suffered a miscarriage.

But behind the scenes, things are more complicated than they may seem, with insiders exclusively telling then Daily Mail that Fox has apparently made clear she would rather go it alone without Kelly’s involvement, and has instead turned to her ex-husband, the former Beverly Hills, 90210 star Brian Austin Green, 51, for help.

For his part, while Green has moved on with a new fiancée, Australian ballroom dancer Sharna Burgess, 39, it is understood that he has vowed to be there for his ex-wife with whom he shares three children: Noah, 12, Bodhi, 10, and Journey, 8.

‘Brian told Megan he’ll be there for her to help out in any way with the new baby – even though Machine Gun Kelly is the father,’ one insider said.

But, perhaps understandably, Green’s intervention has irked Kelly, who this week blasted Fox’s ex-husband in a private direct message, which Green then screenshooted and shared with the public on Instagram.

‘Stop asking when our child is gonna be born. you the FEDS,’ Kelly wrote, adding emojis of a rat and a police officer.

‘Quit calling TMZ and focus on that apology you owe me for speaking on my name in public,’ Kelly continued. ‘You chose the wrong one to f*** with mr child actor. Go back to cereal commercials.’

A second insider told the Daily Mail that Fox ‘was absolutely disgusted when she saw the message, and was fully aware that Green was going to share it because he ran it by her first. The only thing that MGK should be asking Brian about is how to be a proper father.’

The Subservience actress was so against spending time with her former flame that she initially didn’t want him to be present at the birth of their child

‘Right now, Megan isn’t sure if she wants MGK to have any involvement in the baby’s life,’ the insider added. ‘[He has] been nothing but trouble from the start.

‘When Meghan found out he’d been cheating she decided to go it alone and raise the baby by herself. But now Brian has agreed to help, she’s relieved because she knows what a great co-parent he’s been over the years to their boys.’

Indeed, Green and Fox were married between 2010 and 2021 but have maintained a good relationship since. And this new baby now appears to have brought them even closer.

‘When Brian found out Megan was pregnant with MGK’s baby he was horrified how things would turn out,’ our second source said. ‘He wants to make sure she is taken care of. If MGK thinks that insulting and threatening the father of her [other] children was the way to get back with her, he needs to think again. It will only push her further away.’ 

We are told that Kelly was ‘always jealous that Brian and Megan maintained a good relationship even when they weren’t together anymore,’ and that the two men were ‘enemies right from the start.’

A third source added that if Fox and Kelly were to reignite their romance, Green would be incredibly disappointed, adding that he would ‘love to see [Kelly] man up and be a father for his kid… [but] the damage is done. [This] bitter feud looks like it’s never going to end.’
