It looks like another celebrity relationship is encountering a rough patch during the global coronavirus pandemic as a number of publications have reported Megan Fox being seen out and about with musician Machine Gun Kelly.
According to People, the 34-year-old actress was seen getting supplies together with the 30-year-old rapper. The two are co-stars on the film “Midnight In The Switchgrass,” but are currently not filming anything as production on the film was halted by the global coronavirus pandemic. The fact that they are shopping together also has people speculating that they are isolating together.
However, what makes this shopping trip such a hot topic is the fact that Fox is still married to actor Brian Austin Green. A day after Fox and Kelly were seen shopping, Green posted a photo of a butterfly on his Instagram account with the caption alluding to butterflies getting bored, especially when they have spent too much time on one flower. Fox is known to have a tattoo that is connected to butterflies.
As Cosmopolitan points out, this isn’t the first time that cracks in the relationship between Fox and Green have appeared. The couple had previously filed for divorce in 2015 but did not push through with it and stayed together in 2016. In the past few weeks, both Green and Fox have been seen without their wedding rings. That said, neither of the two has confirmed a split.
Fox and Green are the latest couple to find their relationship crumbling during the global coronavirus pandemic. Just recently, Mary-Kate Olsen filed for an emergency divorce from her husband, Olivier Sarkozy. Her filing, however, was denied by the court.
Actress Florence Pugh also found her relationship with actor Zach Braff being questioned after she posted a picture of him napping on her Instagram account. Internet commenters questioned the gap between their ages, and Pugh had to upload a video on her Instagram account defending Braff and her relationship. Braff is older than Pugh by 21 years.
In the United Kingdom, Stacey Solomon of “Loose Women” had to clear up rumors that she was having trouble with her partner Joe Swash since she had not been posting about him on her Instagram account.
With the global coronavirus pandemic not showing any signs of slowing down, there may be more celebrity relationships that may buckle under the pressure. According to the World Health Organization’s situation report for May 17, there are now 4,525,497 confirmed COVID-19 cases in the world. Deaths caused by COVID-19 are at 307,395 people worldwide.
In the United States, the May 17 update from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention puts the number of confirmed COVID-19 cases at 1,467,065 people. Fatalities brought about by COVID-19 is at 88,709 people.
