Megan Fox and Shia LaBeouf had an ‘on-set romance’

Fox and Shia LaBeouf played the leads in the original Transformers movie and the sequel. Their characters were love interests and, as it turns out, the actors did have a brief romance while filming. For years, fans thought something romantic could’ve happened between Fox and LaBeouf in their days on Transformers — photos of them having dinner together in 2009 didn’t do anything to quiet the rumors — but it wasn’t until years later that either one of them addressed the romance publicly.

The actress described their relationship as “an on-set romance that didn’t go anywhere afterwards.” The mother of 3 also added that she’s never been shy about caring for her co-star. “I love him, I’ve never been quiet about that,” Fox added. 

She tried to ‘create a relationship’ with a ‘stripper named Nikita’

Not exactly a relationship but in the early days of Fox’s career in the entertainment industry, she admitted to trying to convince a stripper to date her. In a cover interview for GQ in 2008, Fox recalled her first year of living on her own in Hollywood at the age of 18 after her mom moved back home. She said after her boyfriend broke up with her she fell for a woman who worked at a strip club on Sunset Boulevard.

“I decided that I was going to get her to love me back, and I went out of my way to create a relationship with this girl, a stripper named Nikita,” Fox said, adding that she gifted her “girlie stuff” including perfume and body spray. The actress continued, saying she liked Nikita’s “sadistic and sarcastic and funny” ways but that the crush didn’t last “very long.”
