Megan Fox and Brian Austin Green are fueling more split rumors.
After weeks of stepping out separately without their wedding rings, Fox was photographed spending time with rapper Machine Gun Kelly on Friday.
During their outing, Megan and MGK enjoyed coffee in his Aston Martin and picked up takeout. They eventually drove back to her home in Calabasas to enjoy the meal.
A source told E! News, "Megan has been working on a movie with Machine Gun Kelly and gotten close to him. They are hooking up and have been for a little while. She is separated from Brian Austin Green and they are taking time apart as a couple. She has something going on with Machine Gun Kelly that she is excited about."
A day after the photos surfaced, Brian posted a cryptic message on Megan's 34th birthday. Along with a pic of a butterfly, he wrote on Instagram, “Eventually butterflies get bored sitting on a flower for too long. They start feeling smothered. It's a great big world and they want to experience it.”
Last month, rumors were swirling that Megan and Brian were living apart. In photos obtained by DailyMail.com, they were seen at a parking lot in Calasbasas, seemingly exchanging their kids Journey River, 3, Bodhi Ransom, 6, and Noah Shannon, 7.
After the meet-up, Megan headed to Calabasas, while Brian drove to Malibu with their kids in tow.
Despite the rumors, a source recently told E! News, “They don't plan to file divorce right now.”
Last year, Fox requested a dismissal of their divorce case.

View StoryIn 2015, Megan filed divorce papers after five years of marriage, citing irreconcilable differences. At the time, a source told People magazine, “They had several conflicts that led to the divorce. Megan worked a lot last year, and she continues to work a lot. When she is away, Brian stays with the kids. Before they filed for divorce, they had disagreements about this situation.”
A year later, the couple reconciled after announcing they were expecting their third child, son Journey. Another insider shared with the outlet, “During their separation, Brian always hoped Megan would change her mind about the divorce and he is very happy that she did. They both worked hard to figure out their marriage and things seem great.”
At the time, she chatted with “Extra's” Renee Bargh about how their family was planning to celebrate Father's Day plans while she was pregnant. She shared, “[Brian] never gets to eat anything fun because my house is so clean and I make him eat really clean, too, so maybe I'll get him a German chocolate cake or something. He'll be so happy to see junk food.” Watch!
In 2017, Brian kept it real about marriage. On his podcast, he said, “Marriage is hard. It's work, I think for anyone. I think when you get to the point like we have, where you have kids and you've been married for a while and we've been together a long time, it's — you just take it day by day.”
That same year, Megan shared her thoughts to “Extra” about possibly having more kids with Brian. She commented, “None of them are planned, so I can't tell you if I'm done.”
Megan and Brian, who met on the set of “Hope & Faith,” have been on-again, off-again since 2004. She recently opened up on a past fight she had with Brian, telling Andy Cohen, “I did one time get really angry at him and wrote in Sharpie a bunch of Nietzsche poems on his wall.”
