Colson Baker, better known to his fans as Machine Gun Kelly, MGK began dating Megan Fox in May 2020. This strange coupling left fans confused but intrigued to see where the relationship would end up. 

Fast forward to now, and the couple got engaged on January 11, 2022. MGK popped the question in the beautiful island of Puerto Rico, right where the couple had previously fallen in love. The couple met on the set of Midnight in the Switchgrass, which is where the movie was filmed. 

Many fans have followed their relationship from the beginning and they have noticed strange things such as the couple “ drinking each other’s blood”. This has raised concern in some fans who do not understand why the couple behaves the way that they do, and it has left fans with a simple question, WHY? In my opinion if their lives weren’t so public, you wouldn’t even be aware of what was happening and you wouldn’t have anything to commnet, so now that it is public information, why do you have to comment? 

While I do not see the spiritual importance of drinking your significant other’s blood, clearly the couple sees the benefits and chooses to pursue them. What I don’t understand, as a fan, is why does this matter? Why does it matter what two consenting adults do in their moment of happiness? 

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

The couple clearly looks happy and in my opinion fans need to mind their own ps and qs and let them be as happy as they want to be. 

After years of being with people that they have deemed wrong for themselves, they have found happiness in each other. I believe fans just need to let them be happy and if it really bothers you that they drink each other’s blood, then I suggest you look away and find another Hollywood couple to follow.
