Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly are expecting their first child together

Megan Fox is expanding her family.

The New girl actress and fiance Machine Gun Kelly, whose real name is Colson Baker, are expecting their first child together, Fox announced Monday on social media.

A snapshot showed Fox cradling her bellywhile another highlighted that she passed a positive pregnancy test. In the caption, she wrote, “nothing is ever truly lost. welcome back.”

Fox and Kelly confirmed their relationship in May 2020, months after meeting while making the 2021 film Midnight in Switchgrass. They were engaged two years later.

In November 2023, she wrote in her book of poems, Pretty Boys are toxicabout experiencing a miscarriage with her musical love interest.

“I’ve never been through anything like this in my life,” Fox said while promoting the collection Good morning America. “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…trying to navigate, ‘What does this mean?’ and ‘Why did this happen?'”

Both Fox and Kelly have children from previous relationships. Fox and ex-husband Brian Austin Green share three sons: Noah, 12; Bodhi, 10; and 8-year-old Journey. Kelly and ex Emma Cannon have a daughter, Casie, who is 15.

When her book was published, Fox said her reason for writing it was to let women know that they don’t have to keep their pain to themselves.

“It gives an elegant place for your pain to live — putting it into art makes it useful for other people,” Fox said. “And then you don’t just suffer with it on your own.”

Fox has said that becoming a mother came at just the right time for her. “That kind of saved me, honestly,” she shared Washington Post in July 2021. It made her look outside the entertainment industry and find “purpose.”
