As viewers saw, Machine Gun Kelly lost the “Best Rock Album” nom to Ozzie Osbourne. As disappointed as he undoubtedly was at that moment, his fianceé, Megan Fox, couldn’t have been prouder of how her future husband handled the public loss. In an emotional Instagram post the following day, Fox spoke lovingly of the “humility” and “maturity” he showed that night.
“Congratulations on being in the very small percentage of artists who have received a Grammy nomination. You have handled this process with a grace and maturity that I haven’t seen from you before and I’m so proud of you,” Fox gushed. “Watching you walk in humility and gratitude, watching you grow into yourself and become a better man is an immeasurably more satisfying experience than watching you accept an award,” she continued. “I hope one day you’ll see yourself the way I see you. I love you and I’ll keep this memory of you forever.

As for MKG, he told interviewers that he was just grateful to be included in the nominations. “I’m always pretty uncomfortable here,” he said while speaking to E News. “Ultimately, I’m really happy to be in the company of such great musicians.” The rapper-turned-actor added that he thought his loss was the universe teaching him a lesson, adding, “I felt like I lacked self-love, and I was valuing myself so much on career accomplishments that I needed this.”
