Rapper Machine Gun Kelly has finally addressed his highly publicised split from actress Megan Fox and his subsequent stint in rehab. The musician, whose real name is Colson Baker, admitted he 'needed help' during a candid interview.
'It was a dark time,' Kelly confessed. 'I realised I couldn't handle everything alone - the breakup, the pressure, my own demons. Seeking professional help was the best decision I've made.'
The Breakdown of a High-Profile Romance
The couple, who got engaged in 2022 after two years of dating, had been one of Hollywood's most talked-about pairs. Their relationship was known for its passionate public displays and matching tattoos.
'We had something real,' Kelly shared. 'But sometimes love isn't enough when you're both struggling individually.'
A Turning Point
The 33-year-old artist revealed that hitting 'rock bottom' after the separation led him to check into a rehabilitation facility earlier this year. While he didn't specify the nature of his treatment, he emphasised the importance of mental health awareness.
'There's no shame in asking for help,' he stated. 'I'm in a much better place now, focusing on my music and personal growth.'
What's Next for MGK?
Currently working on new material, Kelly hinted at channeling his experiences into his art. 'The best songs come from real pain,' he mused. Fans can expect raw, emotional content in his upcoming projects.
As for reconciliation with Fox? 'I'll always love Megan,' he said, 'but right now I'm focused on my healing journey.'
