Machine Gun Kelly and Megan Fox have been Hollywood's latest "It" couple for a while now, but their PDA just rubbed fans the wrong way.
In a fan's TikTok video recording of the couple, spectators commented that their affection appeared fake.
Too Much PDA
The fan posted a video from MGK's concert in Jacksonville, Florida. They captioned the clip, "The way MGK and Megan Fox are both the luckiest people in the world."
Other TikTok users, however, interpreted the famous duo's makeout session differently. As Fox jumped into her man's arms and they shared an intimate minute of kissing, their crew stood awkwardly by and started recording as well.
Everyone was just standing there, screaming, and soaked in their photo op. Think of that one couple in your group of friends who needs to get handsy with everyone around.
We love that the two of them are happy together and soaking in this second chance at finding a twin flame.
It's nearly impossible to ignore the almost strategic performance. Most celebrity couples who are hounded by paparazzi aren't jumping into their lovers' arms in front of cameras.
One commenter related their PDA to possibly rocky waters, "This kind of feels like the couple that constantly feels the need to convince everyone they're happy."
When you think about it, they have a point. A lot of the time, couples who are the most active on social media flaunting their love are the ones with insecurities hidden beneath the surface.
'Pick Me' Energy
On our side of the screen, it's better to be with someone who might be a little overly affectionate than one who can't stand to be seen with you.
Fox and MGK's honeymoon stage, by the blaring looks of it, has yet to fade. That is, if the public touchy feely-ness is authentic
Another TikTok user said that the backstage kissing looked "so staged." Someone replied, "Idk the kiss just made the whole thing worse. It's like it was in the script to kiss."
Publicists and managers play a leading role in their clients' love lives. This industry secret has become more accessible to the public in recent years. If one of them has bad press circulating or, perhaps, a new song releasing, the relationship needs to make headlines.
