Megan Fox is reportedly happy that her former fiancé, Machine Gun Kelly, is exploring a new romance with actress Dakota Johnson.
According to a source who spoke exclusively to Page Six, Fox is not bothered by the possibility of her ex moving on. Instead, she is said to feel relieved that he may be starting a new chapter in his love life.
“Megan isn’t just unbothered by MGK dating Dakota — she’s actually relieved he’s moving on,” the insider told the outlet.
The source added that Fox genuinely hopes the musician finds happiness with someone else, explaining that she considers their relationship firmly in the past. She reportedly has no desire to rekindle their romance or repeatedly revisit what happened between them.
The comments followed a report from TMZ on Thursday stating that Fox, 40, was unconcerned about the developing connection between her former fiancé and Johnson, 37, and did not intend to interfere in his personal life.
Fox and MGK Continue to Co-Parent Their Daughter
Although their romantic relationship has ended, Fox and Machine Gun Kelly, 36, whose real name is Colson Baker, continue to share a connection through their daughter, Saga Blade, whom they welcomed in March 2025.

She reportedly hopes they can continue being effective parents while maintaining clear boundaries about their relationship status.
MGK's Flirty Instagram Comments Were Reportedly a Factor
The insider also suggested that Fox's reported sense of relief may be connected to the musician's behavior following their breakup.
In March, MGK attracted attention after leaving a flirtatious comment on a series of revealing Instagram photos shared by Fox when she returned to the social media platform.
“Stoked i have your phone number,” the singer wrote beneath the pictures.
According to the source, the public interaction contributed to the impression that MGK was still trying to get Fox's attention despite their separation.

From Fox's reported perspective, the relationship had already run its course, and she was ready to move forward without the uncertainty of continued romantic overtures.
The source explained that Fox believes they gave their relationship a chance, but it ultimately did not work out. She reportedly does not want to continue experiencing an emotional back-and-forth with her former partner.
