In an interview with Lala Kent and Randall Emmett’s podcast Give Them Lala … With Randall, Fox and MGK recalled their first meeting together on the set of Midnight In The Switchgrass.
“I was like, ‘Who is going to play this role?’ And he was like, ‘Oh, we just got Machine Gun Kelly,’ and immediately, I was like, ‘Uh oh,’” the Transformers star said. “Because I knew — I could feel that some wild sh– was going to happen to me from that meeting, but I wasn’t yet sure what. I just felt it like, deep in my soul — that something was going to come from that.”

She delved straight into the astrological talk on the second day of filming, when she invited MGK to her trailer for lunch. “I knew right away that he was what I call a twin flame. Instead of a soul mate, a twin flame is actually where a soul has ascended into a high enough level that it can be split into two different bodies at the same time,” she clarified. “So we’re actually two halves of the same soul, I think. And I said that to him almost immediately, because I felt it right away.”

Oct. 23, 2020: MGK talks about how falling in love helped him record Tickets to My Downfall in NME cover story
In a cover story interview with NME, he talked about spending a lot of time with Barker during the recording process for his career-first No. 1 Billboard 200 album. But falling in love with Fox, he said, helped him become “a better person” and flipped the album title on its head in the best way possible.
“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,” he said of his relationship. “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.”
Nov. 11, 2020: MGK and Fox discuss their whirlwind romance in Nylon cover story
The two might’ve felt their love was written in the stars, but Fox had more memorable ways of describing their “once in a lifetime” thing and connection of “mythic proportions” in MGK’s cover story interview with Nylon.
“Loving him is like being in love with a tsunami or a forest fire,” she explained further. “The intensity of merging with him is just overwhelming, and the threat it poses is so powerful but so beautiful that you have no choice to surrender with reverence and with gratitude.”
The pop-punk star noted how quarantine hasn’t been the ideal time for anyone to foster love, but for him, being with Fox has helped him embrace a softer, more romantic mindset in these last couple of months. “Love is not what’s being encouraged now. In fact, it’s exactly the opposite: Everything now is isolation, dehumanization, separation,” he said. “And f—, dude, you have in your head that you’re this rock star, with multiple women and all that… So finding someone that can take you out of the fast lane and make sure that you’re safe, because at any minute you can crash — I love that it can evolve into that.”

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.” Ahh, the thrills of pop-punk romance and the never-ending “Bloody Valentine” theme between these two. He explained in a separate post that he strayed away from “tradition” and proposed with two rings — one containing her birth stone, emerald, and the other containing a diamond, his 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.”
