It's the first public event they've gone to since the split rumors began.

One of pop culture's most talked-about relationships hit a massive speed bump earlier this year, which they might have driven right over on their path forward. Moreover, Machine Gun Kelly and Megan Fox just appeared together at the red carpet for Sport Illustrated's Swimsuit issue launch on Thursday (May 18). While they didn't walk the red carpet together, onlookers saw them interact kindly and with good graces. This follows rumors of a breakup following social media deletions, cheating allegations, and more stemming from this February. However, maybe this red carpet appearance is an indicator that things are picking up for them.

When asked what he thought about Megan Fox's cover, Machine Gun Kelly simply said "Hot." In fact, that's not all that the night had in store for the two. MGK also performed alongside Travis Barker at the 25th anniversary event for Lovesac, and seemed in the best of spirits. The Big Gold Brick actress was also at the event, as was Barker's wife Kourtney Kardashian. Fox was one of four stars on the cover including Martha Stewart, Kim Petras, and Brooks Nader, and she spoke on manifesting the opportunity early on.

"Shooting Sports Illustrated Swimsuit is definitely a lot of pressure," Megan Fox remarked. "I have a vision in my head that I'm trying to achieve, so we'll see if it pans out for me." The last time her and Machine Gun Kelly were spotted together by the media was during a Hawaii vacation. Furthermore, they reportedly smoothed a lot of things over on that escapade, and other reports (plus their own testimonies) hinted at things being larger than just a cheating scandal. In any case, it seemed like whatever they went through was just an obstacle to overcome.

However, at the rapper/rock artist's birthday party this April, the 37-year-old actress was nowhere to be found. As such, many fans speculated that either things were going very slow or there were still cracks in their relationship. Whatever the case, a red carpet appearance is quite the public spectacle, and their reunion has to mean something.
