Michele Morrone has officially shut down rumors that he is romantically involved with Megan Fox following news of her breakup with Machine Gun Kelly. On Tuesday, a spokesperson for the Italian actor clarified to TMZ that Morrone and Fox are “not dating,” dismissing the speculation as baseless.
“Any accusations beyond a work friendship are simply untrue,” the 365 Days star’s representative stated. The rumors began swirling after a flirty behind-the-scenes video of the two actors from the set of their film went viral on social media.
In the clip, Fox, who starred in Subservience, is seen playfully leaning on Morrone while teaching him how to pronounce “SpongeBob.” The chemistry between the two caught fans’ attention, with one commenting, “Honestly if Megan Fox dumped MGK for this fine man, I would not blame her AT ALLLLL.” Another fan speculated, “He wants her omfg.”
However, Morrone’s representative was quick to clear the air, emphasizing that the footage was taken long ago during filming. “They filmed a movie together a year ago. Michele is currently in Italy filming another project,” the spokesperson added. A source also confirmed to Page Six that Morrone and Fox are strictly “not romantically involved.”
The viral video’s resurgence came at a particularly sensitive time, as Fox’s separation from her fiancé, Machine Gun Kelly (real name Colson Baker), made headlines. The pair’s highly publicized relationship has been marked by ups and downs, and reports of their split reignited interest in Fox’s personal life.
While fans speculated about Morrone and Fox’s dynamic, sources close to both stars insist the connection is purely professional. The 365 Days actor remains focused on his current projects, while Fox navigates the next chapter of her life amid her pregnancy and separation from MGK.
This clarification serves as a reminder of how quickly Hollywood rumors can spiral, especially when fueled by social media moments. For now, it seems Morrone and Fox’s viral video is simply a case of co-star chemistry captured on set—not a sign of a budding romance.
