What's the obsession with punk X pretty girl couples?

Monday, 13 September 2021




Megan Fox is one of the most beautiful women in the world. A Hollywood actress, model, and actual winner of many 'World's Sexiest Woman' awards... when they were a thing. So why was it such a shock when her and bad boy Machine Gun Kelly announced that they were in a relationship? And what grew from the initial shock was a fully-fledged viral obsession. The ultimate pin-up couple. Subject to many #GOALS tags across social platforms. 

The same goes with the more recent coupling of Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker, the drummer from Blink-182. Both Travis and MGK carry that heavily tattooed, punk rock and rebellious persona, whereas Megan and Kourtney are both seen as extremely stunning and held on a pedestal of beauty.

A very brief timeline of Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly's relationship

Megan and MGK met early last year on the set of upcoming thriller movie Midnight In The Switchgrass. The movie set was shut down early due to coronavirus, and it was reported that the pair spent a lot of time together after that. By June 2020, it was announced that they were officially dating. 

Since the couple got together, photos and videos of them at premiers, events and out-and-about - which have completely mesmerised the world. 


A very brief timeline of Kourtney and Travis Barker's relationship

As for Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker, they have actually been friends for years. A brief spotlight was shone on them in 2019 when they were spotted having dinner together, the Blink-182 star told People, "Kourtney’s like a dear friend. That’s it... I mean, I love her to death. I love her family to death. But yeah, just friends.”

In January 2021, rumours that the two were romantically linked were running rife, after their instagram followers spotted that they were both suspiciously in the same locations in some of their posts. After loads of pap pics and public PDA sessions, by February 2021 they were Instagram official! 


So what is it about them that the world finds so alluring? 



The oxymoron, the super hot girlfriend with someone who's not the obvious pairing. We're used to the standard male model, tall dark and handsome types, in the Kardashian's world perhaps an NBA player or Hip Hop star. The fair skin covered in tattoos, the messy bleached hair or the shaven look with a permanent slouchy 
beanie. It's a breathe of fresh air. They're trying out a new type. 

Oh and did you see Megan and Kourtney host an award at the VMA's last night? Forget their other halves, these two women together are pure perfection. Of course two gorgeous goddesses but also the way they were vining off each other... now this is a pop culture duo I want to see on our screens.
