Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly have welcomed their first child together, a baby girl born on March 27, 2025. The announcement came from Kelly, who shared the news on Instagram with a heartfelt message and a touching video clip of their newborn gripping his finger. "She's finally here!! our little celestial seed," he wrote, adding the date of birth in his post.
This joyous occasion marks a significant moment for both Fox and Kelly, who began dating in 2020 after meeting on the set of the film Midnight in the Switchgrass. Their relationship has been characterized by both intense passion and public scrutiny, culminating in an engagement in January 2022. However, the couple's journey has not been without its challenges, as they reportedly parted ways in November 2024 amid trust issues.
In a candid moment on the Call Her Daddy podcast earlier this month, Fox confirmed that she and Kelly were no longer engaged, two years after he proposed. The couple's split came shortly after Fox revealed her pregnancy in November 2024, a moment that was bittersweet due to a previous miscarriage they experienced in 2022. Fox reflected on the emotional turmoil surrounding that loss, stating, "I had never been through anything like that before in my life. 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?'"
Fox shares three children with her ex-husband, actor Brian Austin Green: Noah, 12, Bodhi, 11, and Journey, 8. As for Kelly, he is also a father to a 15-year-old daughter, Casie, from a previous relationship with Emma Cannon. The arrival of their daughter marks Kelly's second time as a father to a girl, while it is Fox's fourth child.
Despite the couple’s romantic ups and downs, Kelly expressed his excitement about becoming a father again. Just a month prior to the birth, he posted on social media, "Church was right on time today," alongside baby emojis, indicating his anticipation for the new arrival. The announcement of their daughter’s birth quickly garnered attention, amassing 4.7 million views and over 7,200 comments within just two hours.
In the lead-up to the birth, the couple's relationship status had been under scrutiny. Reports indicated that they were not on speaking terms following their split in late 2024, which was attributed to trust issues stemming from an incident where Fox discovered upsetting material on Kelly’s phone. According to TMZ, this revelation prompted her to end a trip early, leading to their separation.
Hours before announcing the birth, Kelly found himself embroiled in a social media spat with Fox's ex-husband, Brian Austin Green. Kelly sent a direct message to Green, expressing frustration over the media attention surrounding the birth, stating, "Stop asking when our child is gonna be born. You the FEDS. Quit calling TMZ and focus on that apology you owe me for speaking my name in public." Green responded with humor, sharing the exchange on his Instagram story and adding a slew of laughing emojis.
Fox has been open about the difficulties she faced during her relationship with Kelly, particularly after their miscarriage. She shared on Good Morning America that the experience was profoundly challenging, stating, "What I can say is that [he] is what I refer to as being my twin soul, and there will always be a tether to him no matter what." This connection, despite their separation, suggests a complicated but enduring bond.
As they navigate their new roles as parents, both Fox and Kelly appear to be focused on their daughter’s well-being. Kelly's Instagram post about the birth included a spiritual note, stating, "We composed the score of the birth. Born into 432 HZ what an epic journey praise God," reflecting his artistic and emotional engagement with fatherhood.
While the future of Fox and Kelly's relationship remains uncertain, their shared experience of parenthood may foster a new dynamic between them. Fox has expressed a desire to keep their relationship private, stating, "What I've learned about being in this relationship is that it's not for public consumption." This sentiment may guide them as they co-parent their daughter.
As fans and friends congratulate the couple on their new arrival, many are left wondering what the future holds for this unconventional pair. Will their journey lead them back to each other, or will they continue to forge their paths separately while sharing in the joys of parenthood? Only time will tell.
