Last weekend, actress Megan Fox deleted most photos of herself with fiancé Machine Gun Kelly and posted a carousel of photos of herself in which she quoted Beyoncé’s Lemonade lyrics, “You can taste the dishonesty/it’s all over your breath.”
Fox then unfollowed her fiancé, and followed rapper Eminem, who has been feuding publicly with MGK for years. Soon after, she deleted her account entirely.
The internet was quick to jump to the conclusion that Fox and MGK were experiencing relationship trouble, and a source told Page Six that they were right. Fox allegedly found “DM’s and text messages” on Machine Gun Kelly’s phone that led her to “believe he has been having an affair.”
However, that doesn’t mean they are over. Another source told People that Fox is “still upset” following these revelations, but the couple “are working through their issues and haven’t split.”
“Megan is still upset but is not giving up on their relationship,” the source continued. “He feels the same way. They are getting professional help because they want things to work out.”
The source continued, “They are broken up, but Megan is seeing where they stand. She wants to see what they can salvage.”
As for Machine Gun Kelly, he supposedly “really wants to make up.”
Before her account disappeared, fans were debating the possible reasons for the couple’s fall out in the comments section of Fox’s last Instagram post. One fan suggested he had cheated with a woman named Sophie, believed to be in reference to guitarist Sophie Lloyd, who tours in Kelly’s band.
“He probably got with Sophie,” they wrote.
Fox replied in a comment, saying, “Maybe I got with Sophie.”
Lloyd’s management team has refuted these rumors, releasing a statement that reads, “Sophie Lloyd is a professional, accomplished musician who has been needlessly dragged into the media based off of meritless accusations made by social media.”
They added, “Any suggestion that she has ever acted in an unprofessional manner or stepped out of her relationship are untrue. It’s disrespectful to her as a female artist and poor journalism and social commentary to be reporting anything else.”
