Megan Fox has got engaged to Machine Gun Kelly less than two years after her break-up with Brian Austin Green.

The 35-year-old actress posted video to Instagram of the rapper, whose real name is Colson Baker, going down on one knee and proposing to her under a banyan tree.

“In July of 2020 we sat under this banyan tree. We asked for magic,” she wrote in the caption.

“We were oblivious to the pain we would face together in such a short, frenetic period of time. Unaware of the work and sacrifices the relationship would require from us but intoxicated off of the love. And the karma.”

And she added: “Somehow a year and a half later, having walked through hell together, and having laughed more than I ever imagined possible, he asked me to marry him.

“And just as in every lifetime before this one, and as in every lifetime that will follow it, I said yes. …and then we drank each other’s blood 1.11.22.”

The musician shared video of the diamond and emerald ring to his own Instagram account, with the caption, “‘Yes, in this life and every life.’”

“Beneath the same branches we fell in love under, U brought her back to ask her to marry me. I know tradition is one ring, but I designed it with Stephen Webster to be two: the emerald (her birth stone) and the diamond (my birth stone) set on two magnetic bands of thorns that draw together as two halves of the same soul forming the obscure heart that is our love. 1-11-2022.”

Fox was first linked to Kelly in May 2020 after they met on the set of the movie Midnight in the Switchgrass, with Austin Green, 48, announcing they had split later that month.

The couple share three sons together, Noah, 9, Bodhi, 7, and Journey, 5 .
