In an emotional act of love and remembering, Machine Gun Kelly (MGK), the ex-fiancée of Megan Fox, has created a beautiful memorial to their lost unborn child. In the past, the couple faced the pain of losing a baby to miscarriage, which Fox later detailed in her book titled “The Pretty Boys Are Poisonous.” MGK, the popular rapper with a tattooed body, stunned his fans with a different kind of artistry as he took to TikTok to share a video where he was shown painstakingly carving a piece of wood into a beautiful miniature ship.

In the video’s caption, MGK wrote, “my first wood carving. for a special soul that will be found again,” hinting at the hope and resilience that the couple has shown in the face of their loss.
The tiny ship, carved from a small wood plank, was dedicated to their never-to-be-born son or daughter. This video was released on TikTok as an answer to how the couple has been doing since the loss. The song played to the sad strains of his 2022 “Last November” is believed to speak of the tragic miscarriage he and Megan Fox suffered. Therefore, it poignantly demonstrates the toll of such events on a person, touching more deeply on relationships.

Last November was called “One Day and 10 Weeks” before it was changed to “Last November” in the zine released with his 2022 album, Mainstream Sellout. The change of the title indicates that MGK had to give his fan base the music that they have been waiting to listen to, that is, strong lyricism that appeals to personal experiences.
In fact, MGK has been open about the sorrow that he and Fox have been having, which he shared was not relayed in his previous songs. He has continued to refer to this sad event in his and Fox’s lives in several of his songs, like in “Don’t Let Me Go.” His candidness about what is clearly a very personal and tragic situation has.
Megan Fox, who revealed in November 2023 that she suffered a miscarriage 10 weeks into her pregnancy, has also addressed this topic in her poetry book, “Pretty Boys Are Dangerous.” While she has not publicly commented on MGK’s wood carving project, it’s clear that it holds deep personal significance for both.
Although having said little to nothing regarding MGK‘s wood carving, the depth of the project seems to have incredible meaning behind it for both of them. The comments section was filled with loving messages as MGK’s fans and followers discovered this new, beautiful side to his talent and this moving gesture. One fan commented in the section, “What a beautiful tribute to your precious and loved baby. We all struggle to somehow keep our baby here in some way. This is incredible. Thank you for sharing something so raw and real.” Another fan commented, “Had a miscarriage at 17 weeks 3 years ago and haven’t been the same so, love the song and as a creative person. love this side of you.” So many fans found the project therapeutic to watch and appreciated how open MGK was with his personal experiences.
MGK’s stunning woodworking tribute and the song “Last November” symbolize the tale of a couple, their power, and their firm decision to share their story with the audience. It is a story about love, loss, and how art can heal, showing the truth that creativity can burgeon even in adversity.
