Megan Fox delighted fans when she announced earlier this week that she is pregnant with her fourth child, her first with her rapper fiancé Machine Gun Kelly.
The stars met in March 2020 while filming Midnight in the Switchgrass. Since then, it hasn't been an easy road for the couple who called off their engagement in 2023, though this fact wasn't made public knowledge until March 2024 when the Subservience actress sat down with Alex Cooper for an episode of Call Her Daddy podcast.
"I think that what I’ve learned from being in this relationship is that it's not for public consumption," the actress said. "I think, as of now, I don't have a comment on the status of the relationship, per se. What I can say is [he] is what I refer to as being my 'twin soul' and there will always be a tether to him, no matter what."

Megan's ring in focus
One glance at the Transformers star's ring will tell you it is not your average engagement ring. "At its heart are two mesmerizing stones: a vivid green emerald and a brilliant white diamond, both expertly cut into elegant pear shapes," Jessica tells us.

She adds: "Perfectly matched in size and design, we estimate each gem to be about three carats, bringing the total weight to an impressive six carats, making the ring a true showpiece!"

"Together, the two stones create a heart-like illusion when viewed head-on, a subtle nod to the deep romance shared between Megan and MGK," the jewellery designer says.
A ring with a twist
Even a bold toi et moi style wasn't unique enough for the 'Home' singer. "What makes this ring even more intriguing is its clever twist on the traditional toi et moi design," Jessica says. "The two stones rest on separate bands which are magnetically held together, a playful and meaningful touch that seems perfectly suited to such an eccentric couple!

A divisive design
Since showing her ring off in public, the couple has stirred up controversy as MGK said that he chose a ring that featured a thorny band so that removing it would be painful. "Love is pain!," the father-to-be told Vogue.

"The thorny design might make it a bit tricky to remove though, and could be slightly uncomfortable to take off when needed. This intricate design choice also means that the ring is likely to be more delicate and prone to damage, meaning Megan likely removed it during their engagement for activities such as swimming and physical exercise."
The ultimate trendsetter
The couple sparked a worldwide trend with her unusual ring that is held together with magnets to form an "obscure heart", as the 'Bad Things' singer puts it.

Jessica says that given the quality of the stones, the 18-carat gold pavé band, and the exquisite craftsmanship, this iconic piece is worth around $318,000 to $413,000 (£250,000 to £325,000). She says it is "truly a perfect choice for such an unforgettable couple" and we couldn't agree more.
