In the new music video, Colson Baker, known for his stage name Machine Gun Kelly, presents a hopeful view for the future, with the couple seen sharing happier times seemingly expecting a new baby. This has led his fans to ask if the baby bump sported by the actress is indeed hinting at a real-life pregnancy.
This is not the first time Kelly and Megan Fox have touched upon their challenges as a couple in a song. MGK’s previous hit Don’t Let Me Go sees the singer address their miscarriage by saying, “How can I live with the fact that my hand wasn't on her stomach when we lost the baby?”
The singer hugs and kisses Fox’s baby bump with tenderness in one of the scenes in the new video, which ultimately culminates in both receiving a healthy child and apparently announcing, once the video ends, that the real baby’s name will be “Violet Leika.”

The announcement comes as a surprise for the fans of the couple, as their relationship has been mired in controversy since its beginning.
On March 20, 2024, the actress seemed to have called off her engagement to the songwriter on an appearance on Alex Cooper’s Call Her Daddy podcast.
“I can’t say for sure what the capacity will be, but I will always be connected to him somehow,” she said, recognizing that the vague status of the relationship might appear confusing to the public.

Fox and Baker started dating in June 2020, while the actress was still engaged to Beverly Hills, 90210 actor Brian Austin Green. She eventually divorced in November 2020, and reportedly got engaged to Machine Gun Kelly almost two years later in January 2022.
Fans of the couple were delighted by the music video, which reassured them of the pair’s future and strongly hinted at the actress becoming a mother.

The apparent “reveal” of Fox’s baby bump led many to speculate on the reality behind the video.
Users on Reddit were quick to find an Instagram comment made by the mother of the baby girl who plays the couple’s daughter in the music video.
“My baby girl did so good and had so much fun with you guys!” The comment reads, prompting another user to ask if the baby has hers, to which she replied with a,“Yes!”

The mother then proceeded to state that Megan Fox is not pregnant and that the scenes were just constructed for video purposes, baby bump included.
Fans were left further disappointed after the mother revealed that the name at the end of the video does not belong to the speculated future daughter of the couple, but instead belongs to the actual baby actress.
“[She’s] my daughter Violet! They spelled her last name wrong, it’s Cejka,” she confirmed, referring to the end-credits scene calling her “Violet Leika.”
Fans were brought to tears by the cinematography and lyrics of the music video, with many sympathizing with the real-life struggles the song touches upon

Even after being informed of the fake nature of the pregnancy, fans who have closely followed the couple's lives and were still moved by the production, with many confessing to have cried upon hearing the song and seeing Megan Fox’s pregnancy strongly hinted at.
“I didn’t know how much emotion this video would give me. Smiling one second and crying the next,” shared one fan.

“I didn't wake up today expecting to cry at this video multiple times having to pause it. I love all of you,” confessed another.
“Anyone who doesn't understand where MGK and Jelly came from won't understand this song and how special it is. Can't take this one at face value, the real ones know that,” expressed one viewer.
“This song was very special, very real and genuine. Knowing that Bunnie is struggling to get pregnant, and Megan just lost a baby made it very emotional. I'm sure this was probably hard for all of you,” remarked another, having been touched by the production’s real-life allusions to the artist's lives.
"Everyone thinking she's actually pregnant is delusional," said one viewer in the aftermath of the video which sparked fierce speculation among fans
