Machine Gun Kelly once stabbed himself trying to impress Megan Fox

He was her “Bloody Valentine.”

Machine Gun Kelly recalled the moment he accidentally stabbed himself while attempting to impress Megan Fox.

“This was also right when I was starting to date Megan,” Kelly, 31, prefaced Jimmy Fallon on “The Tonight Show” on Wednesday while wearing a shirt with 35-year-old Fox’s face on it. “It was just a bad night.”

The “My Ex’s Best Friend” singer explained that his pal Travis Barker had gifted him a knife engraved with the title of their 2020 album, “Tickets to My Downfall.”

Kelly, whose real name is Colson Baker, said he threw the knife up toward the ceiling in front of Fox, but when he tried to catch it, it went through his hand. He then showed Fallon a scar he still has from the incident.

“That was from when a knife stuck in [it]. ‘Cause, you know how you throw it up and you’re supposed to catch it? I looked at [Fox], and I was like, ‘Check this out.’ And I was like, ‘Ugh!’”

And things got even more embarrassing for the rocker when he had to face the music.

“The next morning, as soon as she left, I was like, ‘Yo, I need stitches real quick,’” he remembered.

Fox and Kelly have been open about their love for each other and often show tons of PDA since they were first linked in July 2020. They made their red carpet debut at the American Music Awards that November.

Their romance came after the actress’ breakup with her husband of 10 years, Brian Austin Green, who is now dating Sharna Burgess of “Dancing With the Stars.”

The former spouses share three sons: Noah, 9, Bodhi, 7, and Journey, 5. MGK has a daughter, Casie, 12, from a previous relationship.
