Fans quickly responded to Machine Gun Kelly's post with a mix of encouragement, excitement, and humor. One fan on X tweeted:
"Take all the time you need. We'll be here & wait for you .. always and congrats. i'm so happy for you."
Several other fans echoed similar sentiments on the social media platform.
"Try to relax & have fun with it. it’s gonna be great!!," another user commented.
"Take your time kells. we’ll be here when you’re ready," other user agreed.
However, some fans showed a blend of excitement and humor, reflecting on Kelly's musical journey and personal life.
"Megan should write your songs, some of them. (cite her in byline too;))," a user wrote.
"Take your time to enjoy the pregnancy the album can come on it's own," another added.
"Please don't feel pressured to put out an album. just don't think about us AT ALL," a fan requested.
MGK's upcoming project and Megan Fox's pregnancy
Megan Fox, 38, and Machine Gun Kelly, 34, have been open about their experiences with pregnancy, including a miscarriage in 2023. The actress described the loss in her book, Pretty Boys Are Poisonous.
During an interview on Good Morning America on November 7, 2023, Fox shared that the miscarriage, which occurred around ten weeks into the pregnancy, was emotionally challenging for both of them. She noted that it was difficult as she is already a mother to three children.
MGK also reflected on the loss through his music. His song Twin Flame includes a heartbeat sound, which he later explained was a tribute to the pregnancy loss, as reported by Entertainment Tonight.
Earlier this month, Megan Fox announced her pregnancy on Instagram, referencing their past loss. In one of the photos, she held up a positive pregnancy test, captioning it, "Nothing is ever really lost. welcome back 👼🏼❤️," a line from MGK’s track Last November.
The couple has reportedly been focusing on family, with sources noting their excitement. "They can't stop talking about the baby," an insider told People on November 12, adding that they are "doing well" and prioritizing their new chapter over wedding plans.
Meanwhile, Machine Gun Kelly is working on his next album, which follows Mainstream Sellout (2022). Megan Fox has kept busy with several ongoing projects.
In 2024, Megan is set to star in the action-thriller Subservience, where she plays a domestic AI gone rogue. She also continues modeling, having appeared in Sports Illustrated's Swimsuit Issue in May 2023.
