SPLIT OF MGK
Despite announcing that they were expecting a child just eight months later, it was reported in March that Megan and MGK were living apart while they worked through their relationship issues.

“They made this arrangement to give each other some space while still being together,” the outlet’s source explained at the time. “They are at rock bottom right now.”
According to the insider, Megan had gone so far as to ask friends to “set her up” with potential partners.
Despite this, the couple’s inner circle remained unconvinced that the romance had ended.

“Friends around them don’t see them ending the relationship completely because they literally change their minds every day,” the source noted, adding that Megan “hasn’t been wearing her ring lately.”
“Megan struggles to trust MGK and knows it’s her own insecurities.”
The divorce came a year after Megan and MGK looked visibly upset as they left a marriage counseling agency in California in early 2023, amid mounting speculation and cheating rumors.
But they later rekindled, with a source close to the couple telling DailyMail.com at the time: ‘They have officially started back up after going through a rough patch in their relationship.
“The last few months have been tough for both of them, but they stepped away together to do some healing and it worked. They feel more connected than ever.’
SPORNY RING
In January 2022, MGK revealed a bizarre quirk of the engagement ring he helped design for Megan: it will cut off her hand if she takes it off.
‘The tires are actually thorns. So when she tries to take it off, it hurts,” he said Fashionwith explanation: ‘Love is pain!’
His comments became public a week after Kelly, 31, and Megan, 35, sealed their engagement by drinking each other’s blood following his dramatic proposal.
Megan announced their big news with a three-camera Instagram video showing him down on one knee at the Ritz Carlton Dorado Beach resort.

MGK then shared on his own Instagram page that he designed the ring in collaboration with British jeweler Stephen Webster.
Alongside a video of the ring on Megan’s finger, he wrote: ‘I know tradition is one ring, but I designed two with Stephen Webster: the emerald (her birthstone) and the diamond (my birthstone) on two rings. magnetic bands of thorns that come together as two halves of the same soul and form the dark heart that is our love.’

‘But we are open to changes. I am very aware – and so is she – that our schedules are crazy. So when we get time, cherish it. It’s an amazing thing and we’re helping the other parent have time,” he said.
