Actress Megan Fox has delighted fans with the news that she and musician fiancé Machine Gun Kelly, whose given name is Colson Baker, are expecting their first child together. The Hollywood star revealed her baby bump draped in a black paint-themed photoshoot as she gently held it, captioning the deeply personal image on social media: "Nothing is ever really lost. welcome back."
Accompanying her heartfelt words were an angel and heart emoji followed by another snapshot showing a positive pregnancy test.
Already mum to three boys, Noah, 10, Bodhi, 9, and Journey, 6, from her previous marriage to actor Brian Austin Green, Megan's latest pregnancy announcement comes after the couple previously went through the heartbreak of a miscarriage. The miscarriage was addressed in Megan's book "Pretty Boys Are Poisonous," particularly in its last two poems, I and II, where she poetically processes her grief and the profound loss they experienced.
One verse she penned reads: "There is an ultrasound by your side of the bed, 10 weeks and 1 day ... do you think that if she could have, she would have left a suicide note? But now I have to say goodbye. I close my eyes and imagine holding you tight against my chest as they rip you from my insides."

During her appearance on Good Morning America, Megan opened up about her personal struggles, saying she had "never been through anything like that before in my life". She shared: "It was very difficult for both of us. And it sent us on a very wild journey together and separately, and together and apart, and together and apart, trying to navigate, 'What does this mean? Why did this happen?'" reports the Mirror
Back in July, Megan appeared with a baby bump in MGK's 'Lonely Road' music video, igniting rumours of a possible pregnancy. However, an insider clarified to Us Weekly: "Although they have discussed having a baby, this was just for MGK's music video."
In the footage, Kelly is seen tenderly kissing and holding Megan's belly, which added fuel to the speculation.
Despite the whispers, Megan and Kelly, who is dad to 14-year-old Casie with Emma Cannon, kept mum on the subject. The couple, who made their relationship public in 2020, have weathered various challenges.
Earlier in the year, a source indicated that they were "trying to work through their issues".
Last year, Megan alarmed fans when she wiped all photos of her rapper beau from her social media in February, sparking rumours of a split. Despite the rocky period, reports later emerged that the two reconciled after a few months and sought couples therapy.
In a conversation with Alex Cooper on the Call Her Daddy podcast in March this year, Megan admitted the couple had indeed called off their engagement, stating it was "accurate," but she noted that this didn't necessarily mean their relationship was completely over.
