Machine Gun Kelly is refocusing after his split from Megan Fox. A source exclusively tells Us Weekly that the 34-year-old musician “left California for a while” and is “taking some time away from Hollywood” as the pair navigate their breakup. “Everything has been a lot lately, and he’s been very anxious and wants to escape the whole situation and work on himself,” the insider explains, noting that Kelly has “been very clear with friends” that he and Fox, 38, are “definitely over.” Us confirmed earlier this month that the couple, who have split and reconciled multiple times since getting engaged in 2022, called it quits in late November.
