Megan Fox had some big news! The Transformers actress announced in November 2024 she is expecting her fourth child—this one with fiancé Machine Gun Kelly (MGK). The former happy couple announced the big news on Instagram in November 2024, with Fox holding her baby bump in a beautiful, heartfelt photograph. The new addition will join her three boys—Noah, Bodhi, and Journey—whom she shares with ex-husband Brian Austin Green.
Fox’s motherhood journey has been so full of life. Balancing the Hollywood machine and real life must be a challenge for everyone involved, but Fox is always focusing on individuality and self-confidence for her children. From her effective co-parenting approach with Green to the unique personalities of each child, Fox has provided fans with a refreshing perspective on the challenges of raising children in the public eye.
Megan’s parenting style
Fox has been quite accommodating and wasn’t intrusive to her three boys while they are growing up. She does not micromanage. She lets them be who they are. “They were born to be who they are,” she says of her approach in an interview, explaining how crucial it is to encourage their independence. It’s a philosophy that instills in her sons the confidence to grow, knowing they have her unconditional support.
This might be partly due to Fox’s background in the show business. She understands the exposure her children face and takes steps to protect their privacy, particularly by limiting their social media presence and selectively posting family-related moments.
Noah Shannon Green, a 12-year-old fashion designer, is a free spirit, much like his mother.
Fox and Green welcomed their first child, Noah Shannon Green, to the world in 2012. Noah is such a big style icon that he reveals himself through his choices at a tender age, most often wearing dresses. Whenever he has gone too bold, his mother defends him and urges him to be as different as he can.
Fox uses literature to teach him how to express himself, reading stories to him that have confidence and the ability to wear whatever he pleases. What’s even more terrifying is when she reveals that Noah enjoys designing clothes and frequently selects outfits for her, further demonstrating his creativity and passion for fashion.
Bodhi Ransom Green, 10: The Dull Middle Child
Fox’s second son, born in 2014, succeeded Bodhi. The personal significance of this boy’s name stems from his deep attachment to Buddhist enlightenment. Fox described Bodhi as the typical “middle child,” responsible, honest, rich in morality conscience, always looking forward to doing the right thing, and often the peacekeeper among his siblings.
Though selective about social media, Fox does share occasional peeks into Bodhi’s life. She has some fond memories of posting pictures of him when he was a toddler, pointing to his large blue eyes and long lashes—even labeling him her “little brother.”
Journey River Green, 8: The Curious Explorer
She gave birth to her third son, Journey, in 2016. “The personality—nasty and naughty,” she recalls. Yet he was also surprisingly inquisitive. At three years old, Fox recalls being completely astonished when Journey could name 1,600 varieties of dinosaurs, demonstrating a keen memory and a desire to learn.
Fox has made every effort to shield Journey from the media’s flurry of publicity and headlines, and she has been quoted as saying that she is working extra hard to maintain his innocence for as long as possible. Maintaining both fame and private moments is a challenging task, but Fox’s diligent efforts to keep her children’s lives out of the spotlight are commendable.
Co-parenting with Brian Austin Green
The Fox and Green relationship is now a thing of the past, as they parted ways back in 2020. Both of them have made sure co-parenting works out amicably and that the best interests of their kids are considered above all else. Green has also spoken publicly about their relationship and made some noise, saying that, over time, they have found ways to avoid arguing with their sons. Fox has stated that their mutual settlement of a flexible and respectful condition makes life much easier for their children.
Even Sharna Burgess, Hugh’s girlfriend at the moment, has wonderful words of praise for Fox as a parent. She describes her as being loving and very tender. This type of parent-child relationship further enhances the harmony that already exists between Fox and Green.
They generally show acceptance of public motherhood challenges.
Parenthood in Hollywood is different. Fox has always feared her sons are placed in the open because of her profiled career and that of their father. “They’re gorgeous kids, and I worry about that every day,” Fox recalled as she spoke to Call Her Daddy in 2024.
This motivation drives Fox to put as much stewardship of purity’ as possible on her children by cutting off access to the internet. Similarly, she must balance protection and trust by determining when her children should venture into the public sphere.
Preparing for Baby No. 4 with Machine Gun Kelly
Expansion of the Family The expansion of Fox and MGK’s family is not an easy task. Just last year they experienced miscarriage, which they discussed in their interviews and social media accounts. Loss is very painful, but the couple said it brought them even closer. Fox cited a portion of MGK’s “Last November” song, in which he alluded to their loss, while she expressed her excitement for the future.
Fox posted an amazing picture where her hand was covering her belly as a sign of hope and a new start. This baby is only the entry point to a new beginning, not just for Fox as a mother but also for herself with her partner MGK.
Blended growing family
That is, of course, until the new baby arrives, after which Fox and MGK are going to bring their lives together in a whole new way. With a growing family comes the culture of developing a healthy, happy environment for all of Fox’s old children and new additions.
From the creativity of Noah to Bodhi’s sweet soul, from Journey’s limitless curiosity to the new little one she will bring into the world, Fox inspires commitment in nurturing each child’s uniqueness.
