Machine Gun Kelly and pregnant Megan Fox have made headlines this week as they announced their bombshell split – but according to a body language expert, the two were ‘never a couple to share more than their adopted star personas’ with the world.
Since 2020, the couple have been in an on-again, off-again relationship, at one point even taking things a step further by getting engaged.
And just one month ago, in November, Fox announced that she was pregnant after going through a miscarriage in an emotional Instagram post.
However, it seems like things are now done for good between the two, as it was revealed that Fox allegedly broke up with Kelly after finding text messages from other women on his phone.
Now, according to body language expert Judi James, who analyzed a series of photos of the couple taken throughout their romance, including the most recent sighting of the two in August, they seemed focused on their public appearance together.
‘Megan and MGK’s body language and styling made them the red carpet version of Barbie and Ken in rock mode,’ James revealed exclusively to DailyMail.com.
‘Performative in terms of their posing together, they brought a performance-art feel to their appearances as they looked keen to out-pose Kourtney [Kardashian] and Travis [Barker] in terms of super-styled “grunge” sexiness,’ she continued.
James also noted that whenever they were together, Megan used to ‘look like the grown-up in the room,’ as she was an ‘adept camera-hunter and effortless lens-hogger,’ while Kelly appeared the opposite.

‘They were never a couple to share more than their adopted star personas,’ The Body Language Bible star told DailyMail.com
‘MGK used to wear the more sheepish grin and compliant behavior that suggested he was slightly boyishly in awe of both his girlfriend and their levels of press interest when they appeared as a couple,’ James explained.
However, she did note that Kelly’s body language appeared to ‘grow’ throughout their long relationship, which even emerged ‘in bouts of challenge and altercation with the press while Meghan pouted and squirmed but kept pretty much out of the way.’
‘They were never a couple to share more than their adopted star personas,’ The Body Language Bible star told DailyMail.com.
‘Even their sexier red-carpet poses are best viewed in context as they’re adopted on repeat each time they get to another chalk mark on the carpet.
‘Their enduring love language signal or PDA (public displays of affection) off the red carpet was their hand clasp, that was something of a constant.’
However, their last appearances together seemed to be telling of their relationship, according to James.
When they were spotted together for the last time in August, they seemed back in ‘celebrity duo mode,’ James said.
‘Megan looked happy posing slightly behind MGK and clutching his hand with the kind of eyes-down, demure smile facial expression that you normally see from celebrity wives who want to appear coyly in love with their partner.’
In November, the two were spotted together again, as Fox shyly showed support for Kelly while he attended the GQ Men of the Year event in Los Angeles

‘MGK was in “eternal teen” mode with his styling, but Megan’s T-shirt suggested she was happy to provide a compatible style “fit.”‘

Fox stayed in their Rolls-Royce, while the rapper entered the party alone.
Witnesses said that Kelly stayed at the party for about 45 minutes to an hour before exiting and returning home with the mother-to-be.
However, according to the body language expert, Fox staying in the car was a ‘red flag.’
‘The moment that Megan remained in the back of the car while MGK climbed out to appear at yet another event was a red flag then,’ James explained.
‘Could she have gone with him for the drive just to just bid him a fond goodbye before he attended alone? He did a wave as he left the car that became more of a weak swat to the cameras, [walking] off with his head and shoulders bowed before melting into the shadows that led to the entrance.’
She even suggested that Fox had been ready to go to the appearance before shying away.
Since 2020, the couple have been in an on-again, off-again relationship and are currently expecting a child together
‘Megan was glimpsed in the car though and gave no hint that she’d popped out for a mere drive before hitting the sofa at home to chill in front of a take-away,’ James said.
‘She looked prepped for an appearance and her facial expression in one [picture] made her look unhappy or pained.’
Just months before the two broke up, in March, Fox had admitted during an interview on Alex Cooper’s Call Her Daddy podcast that she and Kelly were ‘twin souls’ despite their relationship status.
‘What I can say is that [he] is what I refer to as being my “twin soul,” and there will always be a tether to him, no matter what,’ she said on the podcast.
‘I can’t say for sure what the capacity will be, but I will always be connected to him somehow. Beyond that, I’m not willing to explain.
‘All those things you said were accurate things that have occurred. And I could see them being confusing, or interesting to people, and them being like, “What’s up?”‘
