INGLEWOOD, Calif. – Megan Fox and her fiancé, musician and actor Machine Gun Kelly (real name Colson Baker), are expecting their first child together. Fox shared the news on social media Monday, posting a series of photos, including one with her hand on her belly and another holding a positive pregnancy test. Accompanying the images, she captioned, “Nothing is ever really lost. Welcome back.”
The couple’s relationship has captivated fans since they met on the set of the 2021 thriller Midnight in the Switchgrass. Sparks flew, and in May 2020, they went public as a couple. Their whirlwind romance led to a highly publicized engagement two years later, drawing widespread attention for their intense connection.
In addition to this new chapter, Fox recently addressed comparisons from Love Is Blind fans linking contestant Chelsea to her. Responding to the conversations online, Fox expressed her appreciation but reminded fans that her journey, especially with her relationship, is uniquely her own.
Fox’s announcement comes not long after she shared a deeply personal moment about loss in her new book, Pretty Boys Are Poisonous. In the collection, Fox writes about experiencing a miscarriage with Kelly, revealing the challenges and emotional turmoil that followed. While promoting her poetry collection on Good Morning America, Fox described the heartbreak, saying, “I’ve never been through anything like that in my life. I have three kids, so it was very difficult for both of us, and it sent us on a very wild journey together and separately.”
This pregnancy marks an important milestone for the couple, who have both experienced parenthood in their previous relationships. Fox shares three sons—Noah, 12; Bodhi, 10; and Journey, 8—with her ex-husband, actor Brian Austin Green. Meanwhile, Kelly is father to 15-year-old Casie, his daughter with former partner Emma Cannon. Fox has expressed her pride in her sons and the balance she maintains between her public life and parenting, especially when confronted with criticism about her family choices. Recently, she responded to claims that her children were “forced” to wear “girls’ clothes,” affirming her support for their individuality.
Fox’s poetry has provided her with an outlet to process her journey, and she encourages others to do the same. She noted, “It gives an elegant place for your pain to live — to put it into art makes it useful to other people. And so, you don’t just suffer with it on your own.” Her literary work has resonated with women who, like her, are navigating their own emotional experiences.
In earlier interviews, Fox spoke of the impact of motherhood on her life. In a 2021 interview with The Washington Post, she revealed, “Motherhood came at exactly the right time for me, and it honestly kind of saved me.” Parenthood, she shared, gave her a purpose beyond her work in the entertainment industry, helping her shift her perspective and find grounding amid fame.
Fox and Kelly’s relationship has remained in the spotlight as fans have watched them journey through highs and lows together. With a new child on the way, they’re preparing for the next phase, celebrating both their resilience and the expanding family they’re building.
