Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly spent Thanksgiving together this year.
A source exclusively tells PEOPLE that the actress, 39, and the singer, 35, spent the November holiday together alongside their baby daughter Saga Blade, whom they welcomed earlier this year. The insider noted that it was a “much happier celebration” this year compared to last year’s holiday, when they faced a tumultuous time in their relationship.
“Megan spent Thanksgiving with Colson and their daughter,” the source says of Fox and MGK, born Colson Baker. “They’ve come so far since last year.”
“It was a much happier celebration this year. He’s been making a huge effort to work on himself,” the source continues. “He wants Megan to be happy. He wants to be around for the baby.”

Alongside Saga, Fox is mom to sons Noah, 12, Bodhi, 11, and Journey, 9, with ex-husband Brian Austin Green. MGK is dad to daughter Casie, 16, whom he shares with ex Emma Cannon.
Back in October, a source told PEOPLE that the Jennifer’s Body star and the “cliché” singer have been acting like a couple again, months after they called it quits.
“They’re together often, but he’s going on tour soon,” said the source, who added that it’s unclear whether Fox would be joining him on tour or not.
“He spends pretty much every night at her house with the baby, and they act like a couple, but they haven’t put a label on it or made anything official,” the insider added.
Another source noted that baby Saga brought the two closer together. “Megan’s very happy with how he’s stepped up for both her and the baby,” the insider shared. “While they still have separate homes, they spend a lot of time together as a family. They’re putting the baby first, and it’s brought them closer in many ways.”
“Things are great now. He’s amazing with the baby and she very much enjoys spending time with him,” the source added.

Fox shared that she and MGK were expecting their first child in November 2024. Weeks later, the pair broke up, with a source telling PEOPLE that Fox was “blindsided” by their split.
In MGK’s track “Treading Water” off his latest album Los Americana, the musician sings about a relationship that he struggled to end, and wanting to be better for his daughter, likely referring to Fox and and Saga, who was born in March: “The beast killed the beauty/The last petal fell from the rose/And I loved you truly/That’s why it’s hard to let it go/I broke this home, but I’ll change for our daughter/So she’s not alone.”
In the bridge of the song, MGK reveals he spent Christmas in a rehab facility, and seemingly addresses tabloid rumors about his relationship with Fox.
“It’s a complicated relationship, that’s nobody’s business/But I’m in this business, face it/I’ve been hiding from the ideation/That the public has been ruinin’ my reputation,” he sings.
The couple first connected in 2020 when they met on the set of the film Midnight in the Switchgrass. The relationship quickly turned romantic, and Fox and MGK announced their engagement in January 2022.
