The message came alongside a video of the proposal moment.“And just as in every lifetime before this one, and as in every lifetime that will follow it, I said yes…and then we drank each other’s blood,” Fox wrote in the caption.During a new interview with Vogue, MGK said: “We released [the video] to control the narrative.

As opposed to someone just catching a weird cell phone picture of a ring on our hand and being like, whoa!“But yeah, I didn’t expect it.

I just recorded it on my cell phone. And it wasn’t like we had photographers or anything. It was just like me setting my phone against a cup.”Asked if she had anticipated the subsequent online reaction, Fox told the outlet that she wasn’t “aware” of the frenzy as she “[doesn’t] really look at social media or anything, so I don’t know”.Machine Gun Kelly also revealed that his fiancé’s engagement ring features thorns. “So if she tries to take it off, it hurts…” he added. “Love is pain!”He said: “It’s a thoroughbred Colombian emerald, with no treatment.
