Megan Fox has announced her pregnancy on social media with a bold photo, cradling her baby bump. The post includes a positive pregnancy test and a caption suggesting a past miscarriage.

Megan Fox has recently announced that she is pregnant, sharing the news on social media with a bold and artistic photograph. In the image, the 38-year-old actress, who is also a mother of three, appears almost naked, her body covered in what seems to be black paint, as she cradles her baby bump. The caption accompanying the post reads, "Nothing is ever really lost. Welcome back."

A second photo in the same Instagram post features Fox holding a pregnancy test with the result reading "YES+," confirming her pregnancy. Fox, best known for her roles in Transformers and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, has three children—Noah, Bodhi, and Journey—whom she shares with her ex-husband, actor Brian Austin Green. The couple filed for divorce in 2020, the same year Fox began her relationship with rapper Machine Gun Kelly, whose real name is Colson Baker.

Though Fox did not explicitly name the father of her unborn child, she tagged Kelly, 34, in the post. The phrase "Nothing is ever really lost. Welcome back" could be a reference to a previous miscarriage Fox experienced.

It remains uncertain whether Fox will address the identity of the baby's father publicly. In a March 2024 appearance on the Call Her Daddy podcast, when host Alex Cooper asked her about her relationship with Kelly, Fox responded, "I think what I've learned from being in this relationship is that it's not for public consumption."

Fox and Kelly have children from previous relationships. Fox shares three sons with Green, while Kelly has a 15-year-old daughter named Casie, from his previous relationship with ex-girlfriend Emma Cannon.

Fox's announcement comes as she and Kelly prepare to expand their family. They got engaged two years after confirming their relationship in May 2020, following their meeting on the set of the 2021 film Midnight in the Switchgrass.

Fox, who also recently released a book, shared that one of the reasons she wrote it was to give women a space to express their pain. "It gives an elegant place for your pain to live—putting it into art makes it useful to other people," Fox explained. "So, you don't just suffer with it on your own."

Reflecting on her motherhood journey, Fox has said it came at a pivotal moment in her life. "That kind of saved me, honestly," she told The Washington Post in July 2021, adding that motherhood pushed her to seek "purpose" beyond the entertainment industry.
