Have the couple finally called it quits?

After meeting on a movie set in March of 2020, <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/pop-culture/megan-fox-why-she-stopped-drinking-alcohol-golden-globes-red-carpet" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Megan Fox</a> and <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/pop-culture/machine-gun-kelly-meghan-fox-blood-necklace" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Machine Gun Kelly</a> (real name: Colson Baker) continuously make headlines for their undeniable chemistry. Fox, who was married to Brian Austin Green for more than a decade, found her "soulmate" in Kelly who sees the prospect of a lifetime with the Jennifer's Body actress. Since they confirmed their relationship in 2020, the couple has made numerous red carpet appearances together from the <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/best-looks-mtv-vmas-red-carpet-2021" target="_blank" rel="noopener">VMAs</a> to the iHeartRadio awards. It has also been reported that Kelly has met Fox's three boys Noah, Bodhi, and Journey. 
However, just over a year after they announced their engagement, the couple seems to have called things off&mdash;that is, if Fox's mysterious Instagram posts are any indication. While we wait for confirmation, L'OFFICIEL breaks down the definitive timeline of the pair's budding romance from being coworkers on set to becoming star-crossed lovers.

March 2020: MGK and Megan Fox cross paths on set.

<a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/music/best-moments-2021-mtv-vmas-lil-nas-x-olivia-rodrigo-doja-cat" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kelly</a> and <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/megan-fox-style-evolution" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Fox</a> first met on the set of the indie thriller&nbsp;Midnight In The Switchgrass.&nbsp;However, just after two weeks of filming, the production set was forced to shut down due to the emerging COVID-19 pandemic. According to a source from <a href="https://www.eonline.com/news/1162711/how-megan-fox-s-romance-with-machine-gun-kelly-is-very-different-from-her-marriage" target="_blank" rel="noopener">E! News</a>, the pair had been spending time together after their sudden production shut down and added, "the down time has been good for them...They are intrigued by each other and having a lot of fun."

May 15, 2020: Kelly and Fox were first spotted together.

Shortly after lockdown restrictions have been partially lifted, photos obtained by the <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-8326767/Megan-Fox-grabs-takeout-Machine-Gun-Kelly-amid-rumors-isolating-apart-hubby.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Daily Mail</a> showed that <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/pop-culture/machine-gun-kelly-meghan-fox-blood-necklace" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Fox </a>and Kelly were seen together in Calabasas, sparking relationship rumors between the "My Ex's Best Friend" singer and Transformers actress, who was still married to Brian Austin Green at the time. Green then posted a cryptic message on Instagram with the caption, "Eventually butterflies get bored sitting on a flower for too long. They start feeling smothered. It&rsquo;s a great big world and they want to experience it."

May 18, 2020: Fox's ex confirms separation.

Just three days after Kelly and Fox were spotted together, Green confirmed on his &hellip;With Brian Austin Green podcast that he and Fox have been separated since December of 2019.

May 20, 2020: Release of "Bloody Valentine" music video.

June 15, 2020: PDA for the paparazzi.

Just a month after the pair were first spotted in Calabasas, Kelly and Fox were seen holding hands and kissing after a night out at Mr. Furley's Bar in Sherman Oaks, California.

The pair was spotted once again at LAX airport. The couple was set to depart to continue filming Midnight in the Switchgrass&nbsp;after a four-month-long production pause.

July 20, 2020: The couple's first podcast interview.

Kelly and Fox appeared for their first interview as a couple on the&nbsp;<a class="body-link" href="https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/turner-podcast-network/give-them-lala-with-randall/e/76367584#/" target="_blank" data-vars-ga-outbound-link="https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/turner-podcast-network/give-them-lala-with-randall/e/76367584#/" rel="noopener">Give Them Lala...With Randall</a>&nbsp;podcast. When asked about her first impressions of the singer, Fox said, "I was like, 'Who is going to play this role?' And he was like, 'Oh, we just got Machine Gun Kelly,' and immediately, I was like, 'Uh oh.'" 
According to Fox just two days after meeting on set, she felt a connection between them. "I knew right away that he was what I call a twin flame," she said. "Instead of a soul mate, a twin flame is actually where a soul has ascended into a high enough level that it can be split into two different bodies at the same time. So we're actually two halves of the same soul, I think. And I said that to him almost immediately, because I felt it right away."

July 28, 2020: Instagram official.

A week after the pair's podcast interview was released, Kelly and Fox made their two-month-long romance Instagram official. The black and white mirror selfie was posted by the singer with the caption, "waited for eternity to find you again ... 🔪💫❤️🔪," tagging "The Universe" as their location.

Shortly after the photo was uploaded to Instagram, Fox's ex weighed in on the couple's PDA. Green then posted four photos of his kids on Twitter, copying Fox's Instagram caption.

The singer then responded, "I'm locked in already right now. No dates for me. Probably ever."

I was in the same relationship for 15 years, you know?&rdquo; Fox added, &ldquo;It&rsquo;s bizarre, this image that gets projected onto me that people have just accepted and that&rsquo;s lived for over a decade and that I never really did anything to earn in the first place.&rdquo;

On an Instagram Live, Green was asked if he would reconcile with Fox and responded by saying, " I never say never."
