After they began dating in 2020 after meeting on the set of Midnight in the Switchgrass, Fox and Machine Gun Kelly – real name Colson Baker, who now goes by MGK – went onto get engaged in 2022.
Alas, earlier this year in March, Fox revealed the engagement had since been called off and last week, she didn’t hold back when doling out some relationship advice.

Fox gave the relationship advice in conversation with E! News’ The Rundown host Erin Lim Rhodes at the Revolve Festival in Palm Springs on Saturday (April 13).
And when asked to give some practical advice to single women, Fox didn’t mince her words.
She said: “I don’t know if I’m the best person to give advice, because my advice is like just learn a skill or develop a hobby, and do not waste your energy on boys.
“All they’re going to do is drain you. Just move on. Invest in yourself.”
Fox shared the interview clip to her own Instagram – captioning the post ‘life advice from a relationship expert’ – and who should reportedly comment but ex-fiancé.
According to Comments By Celebs on Instagram, MGK took to Fox’s post of the interview to write: “PREACH”
However, the comment has now vanished from the clip, with MGK seemingly having since deleted it.
And it hasn’t taken long for fans of the actors to flood to the post to weigh in, many with quite contrasting takes on what it could all mean.
One user said: “MGK agreeing and she’s talking about him lol.”
“No lies detected,” another commented, as a third added: “I love that he hyped her up.”
And fourth simply resolved: “Im confused, r they not together? I cant keep up anymore.”
Whether it was meant as a sarcastic comment or not, or even about MGK at all, who knows, but given Fox’s own video caption, it could well be the pair are just teasing.
And with Fox later on in the E! News interview having named MGK as being her ideal Coachella headline act, it would appear that despite their engagement being called off the pair maintain a good relationship – although that’s not to say they’ll be drinking one another’s blood again anytime soon.
