While Megan Fox is gearing up for a new chapter as she and her fiancé, Machine Gun Kelly, prepare to welcome their first child together, it seems not everything is joyous as sources indicate a potential family challenge brewing between MGK and Fox’s ex-husband, Brian Austin Green.
On Monday, November 11, The Blast reported that Fox announced she is expecting on Instagram, giving fans a glimpse of her pregnancy journey.
MGK Allegedly Has A Rift With Brian Austin Green
The actress posted a heartfelt photo of herself gently cradling her baby bump in a dramatic black liquid outfit. A second image showed Fox holding a positive pregnancy test.
Fox currently shares three children—Noah, Bodhi, and Journey—with Green, and her newest addition will be her fourth, but her first with MGK.
However, the co-parenting situation may prove complex, as insiders told TMZ that the relationship between Green and MGK is essentially nonexistent, raising questions about how the dynamics will play out as the couple brings a new baby into the fold.
Brian Austin Green Reportedly Tried To Interact With MGK
Attendees at a recent event told the outlet that Green tried to ease tensions and establish a cordial co-parenting relationship with Machine Gun Kelly by approaching him and introducing himself. However, MGK reportedly responded with a disinterested “What up,” barely acknowledging Green.
Those same sources say MGK didn’t make eye contact and made it clear he had no interest in forming any kind of relationship with Fox’s ex.
For now, Fox and MGK remain focused on their growing family and embracing the excitement of this next phase. Still, fans and sources alike will be watching to see how Fox balances her new family life with her co-parenting responsibilities, and whether tensions can be eased for the sake of her children.
Megan Fox Files For Divorce From Brian Austin Green
Fox and Green’s relationship was filled with ups and downs over their years together, with the couple experiencing several breakups and reconciliations.
They began dating in 2004 after meeting on the set of "Hope & Faith," when Fox was 18 and Green was 30. After getting engaged in 2006, they briefly split in 2009, but reunited and tied the knot in a private ceremony in Hawaii on June 24, 2010.
In August 2015, Fox initially filed for divorce, citing irreconcilable differences. However, they reconciled in early 2016, welcoming their third child later that year, and Fox dismissed the divorce filing in April 2019.
By May 2020, Green publicly shared on his podcast that they had separated again, attributing the split to their growing differences and Fox’s desire for more independence. Fox filed for divorce a second time in November 2020, and their divorce was finalized on October 15, 2021.
Together, they have three sons: Noah Shannon (born 2012), Bodhi Ransom (born 2014), and Journey River (born 2016). According to TMZ's sources, Green hopes MGK will develop a stronger relationship with Megan’s sons; however, when it comes to the two men building a connection, we’re told, “that ship has sailed.”

Since their separation, both have moved forward with new relationships. Fox is now engaged to musician Machine Gun Kelly, with whom she is expecting a child, while Green is engaged to professional dancer Sharna Burgess, and the couple welcomed their son in June 2022.
TMZ's sources say Burgess took the initiative to introduce herself to Fox, and the two have exchanged numbers. Green and Fox’s kids even refer to Burgess as "mom" due to her active role and involvement in their lives.

After giving birth to her child, Burgess shared an update with Us Weekly on how her little one is adjusting to his new family dynamics. When asked if the toddler had met Fox, the professional dancer confirmed that a meeting had taken place—and it was a delightful experience.
"She [Fox] came in and got some Zane snuggle time, which was wonderful and really great to see," the former "DWTS" pro said before revealing that the "Jennifer's Body" star gushed over her son, describing him as "super cute and such a chill baby."
As for when Megan Fox is expecting her baby, sources claim she is about four or five months pregnant, with a due date sometime around March.
