Megan Fox is all smiles as she bundles up for lunch outing with boyfriend Machine Gun Kelly

Megan Fox was pictured for the first time since she accused her ex husband Brian Austin Green of using their three children for clout as she headed out for lunch on Friday. 

The actress, 34, put on a defiant display as she held hands with her boyfriend Machine Gun Kelly, 30, as they walked through Studio City in Los Angeles. 

On Sunday, Megan asked why Brian had included their son Journey, four, in a Halloween photo, insisting he was using their kids ‘to posture via Instagram.’

Megan cut a stylish figure in a padded jacket with a rust orange beanie, slim jeans with navy stripes down the sides and a pair of black and white Vans.

She held hands with Kelly, who sported a printed black Local Authority sweatshirt with white printed INDVLST pants and white leather creepers with black soles. 

Fox and the Bird Box actor were first romantically linked back in May, after working together on their upcoming film Midnight in the Switchgrass.

The same month Megan and her estranged husband Brian, 47, announced the breakdown of their marriage. 

And it appears the split has been bitter as the actress had a war of words on Sunday over Brian, using their children: Noah Shannon, eight, Bodhi Ransom, six, and Journey River, to look like: ‘I’m an absent mother, and you are the perennial, eternally dedicated dad of the year”.   

She commented on a photo of the Beverly Hills 90210 alum dancing in a yeti costume, as Journey walked by as Spider-Man.

The Jennifer’s Body star wrote: ‘Why does Journey have to be in this picture? It’s not hard to crop them out. Or choose photos that they aren’t in. I had a great halloween with them yesterday, and yet notice how absent they are from my social media. 

‘I know you love your kids. But I don’t know why you can’t stop using them to posture via Instagram. You’re so intoxicated with feeding the pervasive narrative that I’m an absent mother, and you are the perennial, eternally dedicated dad of the year.

‘You have them half of the time. Congratulations you truly are a remarkable human! Why do you need the internet to echo back to you what should be inexhaustibly evident in the way your children love you?’ 

Green apparently got the message, as he deleted the photo and later reposted it with Journey cropped out, writing: ‘Hope you all had a happy Halloween!!!’

He and Fox tied the knot in June of 2010, and in addition to Journey River, they share Noah Shannon, eight, and Bodhi Ransom, six. 

The Beverly Hills, 90210 alum also shares son Kassius Lijah, 18, with Vanessa Marcil, 52, whom he was with from 1999 to 2003.   

A source told Us Weekly in October that Green is on good terms with Fox and her boyfriend Kelly.

The insider said: ‘Brian is totally fine about them getting more serious. He is doing his own thing and there’s no animosity.’

They added that Green has met the Jennifer’s Body star’s new beau, and ‘it’s not a ‘thing’ between them.’

The source continued: ‘He is pleased that Megan is preoccupied and happy. He is socially dating and seeing different girls. He’s not on that same page of being in a serious relationship right now, but he’s totally cool with MGK, no question about it.’

Meanwhile, Green has been romantically linked to Courtney Stodden, 26, and he was spotted packing on some PDA with model Tina Louise, 39, who’s since been linked to Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs, 50.

Elsewhere, Megan’s new flame Kelly recently gushed about his new flame in an interview with NME, while promoting his new album Tickets to My Downfall.

He said: ‘Tickets is essentially my diary, because I did fall in love during the making of this record, and I did become a better person. It’s interesting. There was probably a crossroads in the middle of making this album where the title would have lived up to the reality. 

‘I think the universe caught on to me wanting to make a change. It was like: “Maybe we won’t make this a reality; maybe we’ll make this ironic.” Instead of the downfall, go ahead and have the biggest rise of your f***ing life.’ 

She also starred in the music video for his single Bloody Valentine, which dropped shortly after they were first spotted together.

The couple began dating after she split from Green, 47, which was announced just shy of their 10th anniversary. 

According to People, the Transformers star has introduced Kelly to her three children last month.

A source said: ‘He recently met her kids for the first time. Megan thought it was a natural step, since they are getting more serious. They are in a committed relationship and it’s not just a fling. They are planning a future together.’
