Megan Fox is about to grow her family. The New Girl actress and her fiancé, Machine Gun Kelly (whose real name is Colson Baker), shared the exciting news on social media Monday, announcing they are expecting their first child together.
In one of the photos posted, Fox is seen gently cradling her belly, while another image shows her holding a positive pregnancy test. In the caption, she wrote, "nothing is ever really lost. welcome back," hinting at a new chapter in her life.
Fox and Kelly, who met while working on the 2021 film Midnight in the Switchgrass, confirmed their relationship in May 2020, and got engaged two years later. Despite their joy, Fox has previously opened up about the miscarriage she experienced with Kelly, which she discusses in her poetry collection, Pretty Boys Are Poisonous.
Promoting her book on Good Morning America, Fox shared the emotional impact of the loss. "I've never been through anything like that in my life," she said, reflecting on how it affected both her and Kelly, leading them to a difficult yet transformative journey of trying to understand the experience.
Both Fox and Kelly have children from previous relationships. Fox shares three sons—Noah (12), Bodhi (10), and Journey (8)—with her ex-husband, Brian Austin Green. Kelly has a 15-year-old daughter, Casie, with his ex, Emma Cannon.
In her book, Fox explained that her motivation for writing was to help women express their pain through art. "It gives an elegant place for your pain to live — to put it into art makes it useful to other people," she said, emphasizing the importance of not suffering in silence.
Fox has previously stated that becoming a mother was a pivotal moment in her life. In a 2021 interview with The Washington Post, she mentioned that motherhood came at the perfect time for her, saying, "That kind of saved me, honestly." It led her to step back from the entertainment world and seek a deeper purpose.
