Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly made their red-carpet debut as a couple at the 2020 American Music Awards on Sunday.
Later in the evening, the "Jennifer's Body" actress took the stage to introduce the "Bloody Valentine" musician before his performance.
"Once in a lifetime, magic can happen," Fox told the audience, continuing, "For this next performer, we've all been under his spell since his debut in 2012."
Kelly also shared Instagram photos of himself and Fox at the awards show and wrote: "slept next to a shotgun til she came into my life."
Arriving at the Microsoft Theatre in Los Angeles arm-in-arm, Fox, 34, posed for photos alongside the 30-year-old musician, whose real name is Colson Baker.
The occasion marked the couple's first time attending an award show together since they sparked a romance as costars in "Midnight in the Switchgrass" in March.
Later in the evening, Fox took the stage to introduce her boyfriend ahead of his first-ever performance at the AMAs, where he played tracks "Bloody Valentine" and "My Ex's Best Friend."
"Once in a lifetime, magic can happen," Fox told the audience, adding, "For this next performer, we've all been under his spell since his debut in 2012."
Kelly celebrated their red-carpet debut as a couple by sharing an Instagram photo of himself and Fox on the red carpet, also including a behind-the-scenes mirror selfie of the duo.
He captioned the post: "slept next to a shotgun til she came into my life."

The couple recently opened up about the "intensity" of their relationship in a November interview with Nylon.
Kelly said that meeting Fox started a new chapter in his life.
"Finding someone that can take you out of the fast lane and make sure that you're safe, because at any minute you can crash — I love that it can evolve into that," he said, admitting that he was surprised to find love at a time when it's not "being encouraged."

The actress, on the other hand, said she never tries to "control him" but instead helps the musician "avoid his own self destructive tendencies."
"Loving him is like being in love with a tsunami or a forest fire," she told the outlet.
Fox added, "The intensity of merging with him is just overwhelming, and the threat it poses is so powerful but so beautiful that you have no choice to surrender with reverence and with gratitude."
