Megan Fox's friends 'want her to end her romance with Machine Gun Kelly for good' following their shock split weeks after her pregnancy reveal.
Fox, 38, and MGK, 34, real name Colson Baker, ended their near five year romance over Thanksgiving weekend while together in Vail, Colorado - with the actress around six months pregnant with their first child together.
Fox's inner circle are said to be concerned MGK is a 'toxic influence' on her well-being with sources telling TMZ her friends have advised her to 'move on once and for all.'
Sources claimed Fox's distress is 'deepened' by a 'continuous cycle of breaking up and reconciling' but that the star 'feels like he needs her.'
Another source added: 'She has a history of taking him back, even when things don't get better. She deserves better than this.'
The pair are said to have split less than two weeks after the pregnancy reveal after Fox 'found material on MGK’s phone that was upsetting, and it made her want him to leave the trip early' per TMZ.
The musician then left the trip early and the exes have not seen each other since.
DailyMail.com previously contacted representatives for the pair for comment.
An insider revealed that actress allegedly 'found text messages involving other women and decided she was done.'
'When they went away for the Thanksgiving holiday, she became suspicious and decided to go through his phone,' a source told Page Six.
Before making her discovery, the Jennifer’s Body star already 'had trust issues' with My Ex’s Best Friend hitmaker 'because of past behavior.'
The insider noted that despite their ups and downs over the years, she 'was willing to look past all that' and 'rebuild her trust with Colson and was excited to grow their family together.'
Fox, who shares three children, Noah, 11, Bodhi, nine, and Journey, seven, with ex-husband Brian Austin Green, revealed her pregnancy on November 11, sharing a sexy photo of herself covered with black paint and showing her baby bump.
It was accompanied by a picture of a positive pregnancy test. 'Nothing is ever really lost. welcome back ❤️' she wrote announcing the good news.
The announcement was soundtracked to the MGK song Last November, which refers to the miscarriage she previously suffered with the musician.
MGk commented for the first time on her pregnancy news after her stunning outing in a sheer dress.
He wrote: 'isolating myself in the desert next week to restart this album from scratch.
'when inspiration flows through me unblocked, we will reach the destination in no time.
'don’t worry. after all, im about to be a dad again!'
Fox previously opened up about her miscarriage in her 2023 book of poetry, Pretty Boys Are Poisonous.
Megan wrote about an ultrasound of a baby girl at 10 weeks and a day, per excerpts from People, and said: 'maybe if you hadn't... maybe if i had...
She continued, 'I want to hold your hand / hear your laugh, but now / I have to say / goodbye,' and later adds, 'I close my eyes and imagine holding you tight against my chest as they rip you from my insides'.
Elsewhere in the book, she wrote, 'I will pay any price. Tell me please / what is the ransom / for her soul?'
During an interview on Good Morning America at the time, Megan said she had 'never been through anything like that before in my life'.
'It was very difficult for both of us,' she explained. 'And it sent us on a very wild journey together and separately, and together and apart, and together and apart, and together and apart, trying to navigate, "What does this mean? Why did this happen?'"
Megan and MGK had never discussed the pregnancy loss prior to the poetry book, however the 'Bloody Valentine' hitmaker did appear to allude to it at the Billboard Music Awards in May 2022, dedicating his performance to Megan and adding, 'This is for our unborn child.'
Megan also suffered an ectopic pregnancy years earlier.
In an interview with Good Morning America, Fox explained how the pregnancy loss had affected their relationship.
'I had never been through anything like that before in my life,' she explained.
'I have three kids, so it was very difficult for both of us, and it sent us on a very wild journey together and separately and together and apart … trying to navigate, "What does this mean?" and "Why did this happen?"'
MGK, whose legal name is Colson Baker, is dad to 15-year-old Casie, whom he shares with his ex Emma Cannon.
The couple have been together since 2020 and got engaged two years later, but have yet to tie the knot.
Their due date is in March.
The parents-to-be reportedly know the baby's gender, but are not revealing it.
Megan and MGK have had a passionate and rocky relationship.
They first met on the set of Midnight in The Switchgrass before getting engaged in 2022.
When announcing their betrothal on Instagram, Megan said she and MGK 'drank each other's blood' to celebrate the occasion.
But just over a year later, Megan sensationally hinted she had split from MGK as she shared a cryptic Instagram post before completely deleting her account.
The actress posted a video in which she appeared to burn a letter in a bonfire, along with a bag.
She also uploaded a very raunchy string of mirror selfies while joined by a male pal, in which she put on a busty display in a plunging black top and cut-out trousers.
Megan wrote in her caption, 'You can taste the dishonesty/ it’s all over your breath,' which are lyrics from Beyoncé's 2016 track, Pray You Catch Me, about her husband Jay Z's own affair.
She then removed all traces of Machine Gun Kelly from her Instagram grid, having unfollowed him before deleting her account altogether.
Ultimately they seemed to patch things up and things appear to be all well between them now, with the couple being seen together ever since.
The rapper also recently tattooed his entire upper body in black ink, reportedly to prove to Megan that he is 100% committed to their relationship.
In March, during an appearance on Alex Cooper's Call Her Daddy podcast, Megan revealed she and MGK had ended their engagement at some point.
'I feel like everyone has such an opinion on your guys relationship. You got engaged, then I think it was called off, then we don't know what's going on with you. How would you describe your relationship with MGK?' host Alex Cooper asked.
Megan responded: 'I think that what I've learned from being in this relationship is that it's not for public consumption, so I think as of now, I don't have a comment on like the status of the relationship per say.
'What I can say is that is what I refer to as being my twin soul and there will always be a tether to him no matter what. I can't say for sure what the capacity will be, but I will always be connected to him somehow.
'Beyond that I'm not willing to explain. But all those things you said were accurate things that have occurred and I can see them being confusing or interesting to people and them being like, "What's up?"'
Her final comment confirmed speculation she had ended her engagement from Kelly.
Megan was previously married to Green from 2010 to 2021. They welcomed three children together during their marriage before their union officially ended.
Brian has been with DWTS professional Sharna Burgess since 2020 and they have son Zane Walker Green, two, together.
