Machine Gun Kelly‘s new romance with Dakota Johnson is drawing attention for reasons beyond the pair’s growing connection.
The rapper is said to be making a point of how happy he is with the actress, despite claims that his former fiancée, Megan Fox, has no desire to rekindle their relationship.
While Fox and Johnson are now at different points in their lives, sources suggest MGK’s comments about his new partner have a lot to do with his unresolved feelings toward his ex.
MGK Keep Flaunting His Romance With Dakota Johnson In Megan Fox Face
Machine Gun Kelly is allegedly making a deliberate effort to show Megan Fox what she is missing by repeatedly showing off his romance with Dakota Johnson.
According to a source who spoke to Star Magazine, the rapper had been hoping to reunite with his former fiancée shortly before his connection with Johnson began.
“Almost right up until he met Dakota, he was trying to get Megan back,” the insider claimed. The source also shared that Fox repeatedly rejected his attempts, something that supposedly bruised his ego and prompted him to make his new relationship more visible.
“She turned him down over and over, and that definitely hurt his ego, which is why he’s trying so hard now to rub it in her face that he’s moved on,” the source said.
Source Claims MGK’s Remarks About Dakota Johnson Are To Rile Up Megan Fox
The insider suggested that MGK’s remarks about how much happier he is with Johnson are not going unnoticed.
Rather than simply celebrating his current romance, he is said to be using comparisons between the two women to get a reaction from Fox.
“He might think he’s complimenting [Dakota] when he talks about how much better she is for him than Megan was, but it does not land that way at all,” the source explained.
The comments have allegedly created an uncomfortable situation, especially as Johnson is said to dislike the drama surrounding her new relationship.
- Real reason MGK prefers Dakota Johnson over Megan Fox.
- Fox “completely cut MGK off” amid his budding romance with Dakota Johnson.
- Johnson was warned by close pals about dating “childish bad boy,” MGK.

- Johnson once joked about almost being eaten by Armie Hammer.
- Johnson has reportedly been telling her pals that MGK is the “best sex” of her life.
Megan Fox Has No Interest In Rekindling Her Romance With MGK
While MGK may be trying to get a reaction from Fox, the actress is said to have no interest in revisiting their complicated relationship.
The former couple ended their engagement in December 2024, shortly before welcoming their daughter, Saga, and sources suggest Fox is comfortable with the separation.
According to Star, the actress is not upset that the rapper has found someone new. In fact, the insider claimed that she is pleased he has moved forward and has no plans to reconsider their romance.
“The ridiculous part is that Megan is glad that he’s moved on,” the source said, making it clear that Fox does not share any desire to reunite. The insider further stressed that she does not want another chance with him, either now or in the future.
The source suggested that MGK’s alleged attempts to provoke jealousy are reinforcing one of Fox’s biggest complaints about their past relationship. His behavior is said to reflect the immaturity that previously frustrated her, making a reunion even less appealing.
“One of her biggest frustrations with him is how immature he can be, and he’s only proving her point by trying to make her jealous,” the source said.
MGK Shuts Down Claims He Regrets Losing Megan Fox
MGK has also found himself addressing online speculation about his feelings toward Fox after a fake social media post circulated claiming he regretted their breakup. The fabricated message appeared in a screenshot shared on Monday, using the rapper’s X handle and photographs of the former couple.
The post suggested that seeing recent pictures of Fox had made him regret losing her. It also included a dramatic claim saying, “Imagine fumbling the girl of your dreams and then having to watch the entire world remind you how beautiful she is. I’ll never forgive myself for that s–t.” However, Kelly quickly denied having written the message.
Responding directly to the screenshot, the rapper dismissed its authenticity with a blunt remark: “That tweet is faker than a pair of t–s.” His response made it clear that he did not want the fabricated confession mistaken for something he had genuinely shared.
Although he rejected the viral post, Kelly has previously spoken positively about his relationship with Fox. During an appearance on “The Jennifer Hudson Show,” he described their time together as “an epic story of love, pain and a lot of magic.”
He also praised her as “the greatest partner to have had a child with,” showing that he has acknowledged the significance of their relationship despite their separation.
Dakota Johnson And MGK’s Romance Is Likely More Casual Than Committed
Although Johnson and MGK appear to be enjoying their time together, questions have emerged about whether they want the same things from the relationship. The pair reportedly reconnected at Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s wedding in July, and sources suggest their connection has since developed into a romantic one.
However, an insider who spoke to the Daily Mail described their current arrangement as relaxed rather than a relationship moving toward a major commitment. “I heard that it’s casual, what’s going on between them. and they’re just having fun, hanging out and getting to know each other,” the source said.
The difference in their future expectations could become a challenge. Johnson has recently expressed a desire to have children, while insiders claim MGK is not currently looking for marriage or another serious commitment. This could leave the actress wanting more than the rapper is prepared to offer.
Still, another source suggested that neither is rushing to define the relationship. “Things with them are so far, so good. Nothing is super serious, and nobody is picking out china just yet, but they’re enjoying each other and seeing where this goes,” the insider explained.
For now, the romance appears to be developing without firm expectations, although their differing priorities may eventually determine how far it goes.
