Who is Megan Fox’s partner now?
Past relationship with Brian Austin Green
- Married to Brian Austin Green from 2010 to 2021 (People complete dating history).
- They share three sons and co‑parent amicably (People timeline).
Engagement to Machine Gun Kelly
- Fox began dating Machine Gun Kelly in 2020 after meeting on the set of Midnight in the Switchgrass (People).
- They got engaged in January 2022 but never married (People).
- As of late 2024, Fox is single after splitting from MGK in November 2024 (People).
The pattern: Fox’s romantic trajectory has tracked closely with her sobriety timeline — each partnership seemed to mirror where she was emotionally. The implication: independence may now be the grounding force.
How many biological children does Megan Fox have?
Co-parenting arrangement
- Fox has three biological sons with Brian Austin Green: Noah (born 2012), Bodhi (2014), and Journey (2016) (People).
- She and Green share custody, and Fox has primary care (Elle).
- Fox also has a daughter, Saga (born March 27, 2024), with Machine Gun Kelly (People).
Why this matters: Fox now manages four children while navigating a public breakup, giving new weight to her statements about prioritizing family over fame.
What is Megan Fox diagnosed with?
Mental health diagnoses
- Fox has spoken about having ADHD and anxiety (Elle).
- She has also discussed body dysmorphic disorder, which she says has affected her self‑image for years (Elle).
Sobriety journey
- Fox has been sober from alcohol since 2008, marking more than 15 years without a drink (Elle).
- She described her sobriety as a “non‑negotiable” part of her life in a British Vogue interview (British Vogue).
Fox’s sobriety reportedly kept fights with MGK less destructive, but it couldn’t fix underlying trust issues. The catch: sobriety is a foundation, not a cure.
The upshot: Fox’s health disclosures — from ADHD to body dysmorphia — have destigmatized these conditions for millions of fans, but the full clinical picture remains private.
Is Megan Fox LGBTQ?
- Fox has identified as queer and bisexual in multiple interviews over the years (Elle).
- She told Interview Magazine in 2023 that she believes “everyone is bisexual to some degree” (Interview Magazine).
- Her public identification has been consistent since at least 2008 (People).
The implication: Fox’s openness has made her a visible figure in the LGBTQ community, but she has not made it a central part of her public persona — a deliberate choice that keeps the focus on her work.
Why did Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly break up?
Public statements
- Fox has not publicly detailed the breakup, but sources say she discovered text messages involving other women on MGK’s phone during a Thanksgiving trip in Vail, Colorado (People).
- MGK left the trip early; the couple have not seen each other since (People).
Reported reasons
- Trust issues and MGK’s touring schedule are cited as contributing factors (Elle).
- Despite MGK’s sobriety, which made arguments less intense, the relationship remained unstable due to both being “hot‑headed” (Elle).
Fox now has full custody of their daughter Saga, while MGK co‑parents as needed. The dynamic could shift if MGK pursues legal parenting time.
The catch: sobriety alone didn’t save the relationship — it removed one layer of volatility but exposed the deeper fracture of trust.

The pressure to reconcile or rebound will be intense, but her track record suggests she will prioritize her own well‑being — and her children — above public expectation. For fans of celebrity drama, the story is far from over. For Fox herself, the choice is clear: keep building a life that doesn’t depend on a partner’s stability.
