Watch: Megan Fox's Engagement Ring Has a PAINFUL Secret

No film crew required. 

Fans got a front row seat to Machine Gun Kellys proposal to Megan Fox when the Jennifer's Body star posted a stylized video of the romantic event to Instagram on Jan. 12.

Despite the magical moment being captured from multiple angles, the "Bloody Valentine" singer, 31, is clearing up any speculation that he hired professional help.

"I just recorded it on my cell phone. It wasn't like we had photographers or anything," MGK insisted to Vogue in a joint interview with his fiancée. "It was just like me setting my phone against a cup."

 And while Megan said she doesn't "really look at social media," the twin flames decided to release the video on Instagram as a way to put the news of their engagement out themselves.

 "We released it to control the narrative," explained MGK, whose real name is Colson Baker. "As opposed to someone just catching a weird cell phone picture of a ring on our hand and being like, ‘whoa!'"

The proposal took place Jan. 11 in Puerto Rico, the same spot where the two first fell hard and fast for each other on the set of the Randall Emmett movie Midnight in the Switchgrass.

"He asked me to marry him," the 35-year-old actress shared in her Instagram announcement alongside the video. "And just as in every lifetime before this one, and as in every lifetime that will follow it, I said yes,"

She concluded her post, "…and then we drank each other's blood."

On his own Instagram, MGK revealed an up-close look at her personalized engagement ring. The sparkler from Stephen Webster features both a diamond and Colombian emerald stone—a combination of their birth stones that symbolized "two halves of the same soul forming the obscure heart that is our love.

"The concept is that the ring can come apart to make two rings," the musician further explained to Vogue. "When it's together, it's held in place by a magnet. And then it forms an obscure heart."

He added, "The bands are actually thorns. So if she tries to take it off, it hurts. Love is pain!"

The edgy duo first went public with their romance in June 2020. Since that time, the stars have become inseparable—packing on the PDA at award shows and enjoying double dates with BFFs Travis Barker and Kourtney Kardashian, who also just got engaged.

Megan and MGK made their first official appearance as an engaged couple on Jan. 15 when they walked the red carpet together at the Dolce & Gabbana men's fashion show in Milan, Italy.
