Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly recently shared exciting news: they’re expecting
their first child together. Fox took to Instagram on November 11, 2024, to announce
her pregnancy with an intriguing black-and-white photo showing her cradling a
baby bump, covered in dark ink, a visual motif that seems to reflect the couple’s
unique aesthetic. Alongside this photo, she posted a positive pregnancy test and a
caption that read, "Nothing is ever really lost. Welcome back," a line that may be a
subtle nod to the couple's earlier, challenging experience with pregnancy loss.
This pregnancy announcement marks a new chapter for the pair, who have been
romantically linked since meeting in 2020 on the set of Midnight in the
Switchgrass. They quickly made headlines for their intense connection, which Fox
has described as “karmic” and otherworldly. Over the past few years, they’ve been
candid about the highs and lows of their relationship, culminating in an
engagement in January 2022. During that time, they faced a miscarriage, which Fox
openly discussed in her 2023 poetry book, Pretty Boys Are Poisonous. The
experience of pregnancy loss was deeply impactful, with Fox reflecting in the book
on the emotional journey she and Kelly undertook in its aftermath.
The pregnancy is a milestone for Fox and Kelly as a couple, but it also represents a
blend of their already-blended families. Fox, who shares three sons—Noah, Bodhi,
and Journey—with ex-husband Brian Austin Green, and Kelly, who has a 15-year-
old daughter, Casie, are now expanding their family, making this a joyful new
chapter for both them and their children.
Known for her cryptic and artistic social media presence, Fox made her
announcement in a style very much her own. Her manicure in the announcement
photo—long, black, and studded—was the same one she sported months earlier,
signaling that she’s been keeping the pregnancy under wraps for a while. Fans and
media have speculated that this timing suggests her due date might fall around
spring 2025, which is particularly significant as Kelly’s birthday is in April.
This news has quickly made waves across social media, with fans celebrating the
couple’s joy and reflecting on their perseverance through challenging times. The
announcement has also cast a positive light on Fox and Kelly, whose relationship
has been marked by public scrutiny, breakups, and reunions. Now, with their family
growing, they’re turning a new leaf, embracing both parenthood and each other in
an era of healing and new beginnings.
For Fox and Kelly, this announcement encapsulates a moment of triumph and
resilience after past heartache, inviting fans to join in on their happiness while
eagerly awaiting the arrival of their newest family member.
Since news of Megan Fox’s pregnancy broke, fans and media have been reflecting
on the journey Fox and Machine Gun Kelly (MGK), whose real name is Colson Baker,
have taken together. Their relationship has been one of intense passion and public
visibility, marked by dramatic twists, including a whirlwind engagement and an
unfiltered openness about their challenges. Now, as they prepare to welcome a
child, it seems like a culmination of the personal growth and healing they have
both undergone.
The Emotional Backstory of Fox and Kelly’s Relationship
Fox and MGK’s relationship began in early 2020, right as Fox was navigating the
end of her nearly decade-long marriage to Brian Austin Green. The two stars met
on the set of Midnight in the Switchgrass, and according to Fox, their connection
was almost instantaneous. Since then, they have shared a connection that Fox has
often described as “soul-deep.” This “karmic” bond has been both celebrated and
scrutinized in the public eye, especially as they made headlines with their
declarations of love. Their engagement in January 2022 was widely covered, as Fox
detailed how they "drank each other's blood" in what she described as a deeply
personal and symbolic ritual
.
Their engagement ring, designed by British jeweler Stephen Webster, also
symbolizes their intense bond. With an intertwined emerald and diamond
representing each of their birthstones, the ring reflects the couple’s belief in the
eternal nature of their connection. However, this connection hasn’t been without
its challenges. The couple experienced a miscarriage last year, which Fox later
revealed to have been a transformative moment in her life

. This difficult experience has shaped her perspective on motherhood and her
relationship, adding a layer of emotional depth to their recent pregnancy
announcement.
A Bond Forged Through Challenges
The couple’s journey through loss, healing, and eventually renewed hope has
resonated with many of their followers. Fox has openly discussed how the
miscarriage impacted her emotionally and spiritually, describing it as an event
that “sent us on a very wild journey together and separately.” This kind of candor
has allowed fans to see a more vulnerable side of the actress, who is typically
known for her tough, no-nonsense persona. The pain they endured, both
individually and as a couple, has created a foundation of resilience and
understanding that underpins their current joy.
The pregnancy, in light of these hardships, seems to represent a kind of rebirth for
both Fox and MGK. Their announcement, accompanied by song lyrics from MGK’s
track “Last November,” subtly references their journey of loss and recovery. This
track, like much of MGK’s music, often explores themes of struggle, growth, and
redemption—making it a fitting soundtrack for this new chapter
.
How Fox and MGK Balance Family Life and Celebrity
As both Fox and MGK have children from previous relationships, the blending of
their families is another significant aspect of their relationship. Fox’s three sons,
whom she shares with ex-husband Brian Austin Green, are reportedly a priority for
her. Green has shared in interviews that the co-parenting relationship is positive,
with both parents focused on ensuring a supportive environment for their
children. MGK, too, shares a close bond with his daughter Casie, who frequently
appears with him at red carpet events. As their families grow closer, Fox and MGK
are actively shaping a household dynamic that values love, acceptance, and
healing
With this pregnancy, both stars are entering a new stage in their lives, which will
inevitably bring new challenges as they balance a blended family and demanding
careers. Both are heavily engaged in the entertainment industry, with MGK
continuing to make music and Fox actively pursuing new film projects. However
, recent events suggest that they may prioritize family over their careers in the
coming months as they prepare to welcome their child.
The Couple’s Unconventional Approach to Relationships and Family
Fox and MGK are widely recognized for their unique approach to both relationships
and self-expression. Their willingness to embrace and share their journey—filled
with passion, adversity, and personal growth—has kept their fans engaged and
supportive. The pregnancy announcement itself was a testament to this approach:
a blend of mystique, symbolism, and emotional vulnerability that only Fox and
MGK could pull off. Fox’s aesthetic, which involved a studded manicure and black
liquid in her photos, paired with her cryptic caption, reflects the unconventional
yet intimate style that fans have come to expect from her.
As Fox continues her pregnancy journey, her approach to motherhood may
similarly embody this unconventional style. She has previously expressed strong
views on raising children in a gender-neutral environment, particularly advocating
for her children’s freedom to express themselves however they choose. This open-
minded parenting philosophy is one she shares with MGK, whose own relationship
with his daughter reflects a similar respect for individuality.
What Lies Ahead for Fox, MGK, and Their Growing Family
The public interest in Fox and MGK’s relationship is likely to grow as they navigate
this next chapter. With a blended family and a child on the way, the couple stands
as an example of modern, blended families in Hollywood, embracing complexities
while finding strength in each other. Fans will undoubtedly be watching closely,
eager to see how parenthood deepens their bond and shapes their artistic
journeys.
In the meantime, Fox’s fans have been quick to celebrate her latest announcement.
Many expressed excitement for the actress, who has been open about the ups and
downs of her journey. The pregnancy marks a significant milestone in her life,
potentially bringing a renewed focus on her role as a mother as well as a partner.
Fox and MGK’s pregnancy journey represents a heartening message about the
possibility of growth and love following hardship. As they move forward, it’s clear
that both Fox and MGK are committed to supporting each other and nurturing
their family, with a level of dedication that is sure to resonate with their fans.
