Why Megan Fox Is a Model Mother

Actress Megan Fox was known as a bona fide bombshell when she first became a breakout star in the early ’00s—and now, she’s both a bombshell and a mom (because, yes, you absolutely can be both). And while she’s recently taken her romantic relationship with (and temporary split from) rapper and actor Machine Gun Kelly public, she’s long taken the opposite approach when it comes to her kids with ex-husband Brian Austin Green, rarely talking about them or sharing pics of them on social media. Still, Fox has gone on the record saying motherhood has deeply changed her.

“Getting pregnant—that was the first real breakthrough where my consciousness shifted and my mind opened up and I was able to see from a bird’s eye view and breathe and take it in,” Fox told Entertainment Tonight in 2019. “And then another kid, and then another kid and with every kid I feel like that’s always been the doorway into a better version of myself.”

How many kids does Megan Fox have?
Megan Fox has three children—Noah Shannon Green, 11, Bodhi Ransom Green, 10, and Journey River Green, 7—with the 50-year-old Green. She rarely posts pictures of her children, but in October 2019, she did share some adorable snaps from her family’s Halloween-themed outing to Disneyland. “Can I get ONE family pH๏τo where everyone is looking at the camera and making a semi-normal face?” she asked in the caption.

In May 2021, Fox said about her boys during an appearance on The Kelly Clarkson Show, “They love each other. They’re best friends, but the fighting is non-stop because they have so much energy and they’re so rambunctious that it’s just a melee. My kids will pull out fists full of hair and be like, ‘I got your hair, Noah!'”

Does Megan Fox still have her kids?
Megan Fox shares joint custody of her three children with her ex-husband, the kids’ father Brian Austin Green. Although they had one public, post-split disagreement over sharing pH๏τos of their children on Instagram, the pair seem to be on fairly cordial co-parenting terms these days. In fact, Green told E! News that they “co-parent really well together… [W]e don’t fight over time with the kids… [and] alternate holidays between Christmas Day, Christmas Eve.”

As Fox is very protective when it comes to exposing her children to the spotlight, preferring to keep them as private as possible, she has experienced what has been characterized as unfair criticism for her children’s absence on her social media pages and during her red carpet appearances.

In 2022 when Fox posted a picture of herself on a swing on social media, she responded sarcastically to one follower’s comment of “Where your kids at?”

Fox’s reply read, “Wait wait wait. I…have kids?!? Oh my god I knew I forgot something!! Quick, someone call the valet at the Beverly Hills Hotel. That’s the last place I remember seeing them. Maybe someone turned them into lost and found.”
