Machine Gun Kelly a.k.a Colson Baker and Megan Fox got engaged a few days ago and appeared at Dolce & Gabbana Men’s Fall/Winter 2022 fashion show in Milan, Italy on 15th January 2022 as an engaged couple.

After waiting for a long time, rapper Machine Gun Kelly finally proposed to actress and the love of his life Megan Fox with the most unique engagement ring one could ever imagine. During an interview with Vogue that took place during Dolce & Gabbana's Milan Show, the couple was asked that the news of the engagement had become a huge mega-story, Colson explained, “We released it to control the narrative. As opposed to someone just catching a weird cell phone picture of a ring on our hand and being like, whoa! But yeah, I didn’t expect it. I just recorded it on my cell phone. And it wasn’t like we had photographers or anything. It was just like me setting my phone against a cup.”

The rapper later explained something unique about the engagement ring that sits beautifully on Megan Fox’s hand, “It’s a thoroughbred Colombian emerald, with no treatment. It was just carved into the teardrop, straight out of the mine. And the diamond was directly from Stephen Webster. The concept is that the ring can come apart to make two rings. When it’s together, it’s held in place by a magnet. So you see how it snaps together? And then it forms an obscure heart. And you see this right here? The bands are actually thorns. So if she tries to take it off, it hurts…” He lastly added, “Love Is Pain.”

After the proposal video shared on January 12th, 2022, Machine Gun Kelly shared a video of the ring on his social media and explained the design choice, "yes, in this life and every life beneath the same branches we fell in love under, i 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 birthstone) 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.”

Celebrity jeweler George Khalife a.k.a. ‘George the Jeweler’, recently spoke to Hollywood Life and shared that Megan Fox’s engagement ring costs a whopping $400,000. He explained, “I’ve been seeing two stone engagement rings more and more lately. Good quality emeralds, like we see in Megan’s ring, are rare and special because of their temperament and valuable.”

Further, in their Vogue interview, the couple was asked about how much the two of them have affected each other’s sense of style to which Megan said, “Mine has definitely changed. Before it wasn’t something I was focused on or thought about. Because as an actress I had been classified or put in the category of being a sex symbol. And publicists come in and they bring in a stylist and it’s all about dressing more seriously so that the world will take you more seriously as an actor. But they weren’t dressing me the way in which I liked to express myself. So I kind of gave up on fashion. I was like, I don’t fucking care, whatever you put me in because I’m not going to like it anyway. Until I met him".

Megan Fox further continued, "Musicians have so much freedom to express themselves in the way that they dress. They can be so much more flamboyant than actors usually can. Prior to being famous everyone who knew me always knew that I would always wear one really insane piece, and everybody would be like, “you dress weird.” And it wasn’t until I was molded and had to dress one way that I gave up on that. And being with him, obviously, he’s slightly eccentric in the way that he dresses—and that has freed me up to express myself more. And he helped hook me up with Maeve Reilly, my stylist". Megan Fox has previously shared too that Machine Gun Kelly has inspired her fashion sense to a lot of extent.

Megan Fox shared a video of the rapper proposing to her under a banyan tree and captioned it, "In July of 2020 we sat under this banyan tree. We asked for magic. 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. 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."
