Machine Gun Kelly made fans do a double take after flaunting a new man bun and bearded look following his tumultuous Megan Fox split. The “Bloody Valentine” artist (real name Colson Baker), 34, posted two photos of himself on Instagram last week, featuring a fresh haircut.
In the images, the “My Ex’s Best Friend” hitmaker gazes out of a window without a shirt, displaying his detailed chest and arm tattoos. MGK captioned his post for his 9 million IG followers: “how can “sources say” when the sources haven’t said anything.” He also tagged photographer Sam Cahill.

Machine Gun Kelly Turns Heads With New Man Bun And Beard After Megan Fox Split
Fans headed to the comments section to share their thoughts. "Boys after a breakup" one wrote as another added: "it’s giving viking in the very best way." Someone else replied: "mgk growing a beard was definitely NOT on my 2025 bingo card." One other chimed in: "you really came back as a viking omg so hot."
This follows the separation of MGK and Fox, 38, in December 2024, soon after the Jennifer's Body actress revealed she was expecting.
The duo separated during the November 2024 Thanksgiving holiday while they were in Vail, Colorado, according to TMZ. The outlet reported that “the reason for their split is that Megan found material on MGK’s phone that was upsetting, and it made her want him to leave the trip early.” According to the publication, the two haven’t spoken since then.

The ex-partners shared the news of the Transformers star expecting a baby at the beginning of November. A source dished to Us Weekly at the time: "They are both thrilled and excited to be parents together. The pregnancy is bringing them closer." An additional tipster shared that Fox and MGK had "always been rocky and had their ups and downs."
However, the source stressed that, at the time, they had been "proactive in therapy and very spiritual and honest with one another." As for MGK, he apparently "made some huge life changes to be the best partner and parent that he can be." One other insider noted that the Pretty Boys Are Poisonous author and "Emo Girl" rocker were "so happy and excited" to have a baby.
