Actress Megan Fox and fiancé Machine Gun Kelly are expecting their first child together, marking a poignant new chapter for the couple after navigating a shared experience of pregnancy loss. Fox, 38, made the announcement on Instagram on Monday, November 11, posting a photo of herself cradling her baby bump while draped in black liquid, with a positive pregnancy test visible in another image.
The post, tagged with Kelly’s handle, was captioned, "nothing is ever really lost. welcome back ," referencing lyrics from Kelly’s song “last november,” which delves into their earlier miscarriage.
This baby will be Fox’s fourth child; she shares sons Noah, 12, Bodhi, 10, and Journey, 8, with ex-husband Brian Austin Green. Kelly, whose real name is Colson Baker, is father to 15-year-old daughter Casie from a previous relationship. The couple, who began dating in 2020 after meeting on the set of “Midnight in the Switchgrass,” have been open about the highs and lows of their relationship, including their engagement in January 2022 under a banyan tree of special significance.
The engagement itself was a headline-grabbing moment, with Fox posting a video of Kelly’s proposal and referencing the challenges and sacrifices the couple faced: “Somehow a year and a half later, having walked through hell together, and having laughed more than I ever imagined possible, he asked me to marry him… and then we drank each other's blood.” The pair’s deeply intertwined journey has been a focal point for fans and the media alike.
Fox’s emotional revelation comes almost exactly a year after she shared details of a miscarriage through her poetry collection, “Pretty Boys Are Poisonous,” released in November 2023. Speaking to Good Morning America, she described the harrowing experience of losing a baby alongside Kelly as unlike anything she had faced before. “I’ve never been through anything like that in my life,” Fox said. “It was very difficult for both of us, sending us on a journey together and separately.”
The poetry book includes verses reflecting on her grief, including lines about holding her child and imagining moments stolen by the loss. "I want to hold your hand / hear your laugh," reads one line, while another conveys her desperation: "I will pay any price… tell me please / what is the ransom / for her soul?"
The couple’s relationship, known for its intensity, has been both publicly scrutinized and celebrated. In 2021, Fox hinted at her desire for a child with Kelly when she and Kourtney Kardashian introduced the rapper and Kardashian’s husband, Travis Barker, at the MTV Video Music Awards as “future baby daddies.” However, the road to this pregnancy has been fraught with difficulties, including publicized ups and downs and a brief breakup earlier in the year.
Throughout 2023, Fox and Kelly were seen at various events, sparking speculation about their relationship status. Fox appeared pregnant in Kelly’s “Lonely Road” music video, further fueling public curiosity. The couple’s love story, marked by passion and resilience, continues to captivate their followers, with fans rallying around their latest news.
