Megan Fox and Brian Austin Green welcomed their first child together, a son, on Sept. 27, 2012.
As Noah has grown up, Fox has been outspoken about his budding interest in fashion andhis preference for wearing dresses— something that she says began around age 2.
“Sometimes, he’ll dress himself andhe likes to wear dresses sometimes,” Fox toldThe Talkin 2019. “And I send him to a really liberal, hippy school, but even there — here in California — he still has little boys going, ‘Boys don’t wear dresses,’ or ‘Boys don’t wear pink.’ "
“So we’re going through that now, where I’m trying to teach him to be confident no matter what anyone else says,” she added, sharing that after he’d recently been laughed at for wearing a dress to school, he told her, “‘I don’t care, I love dresses too much.’ ”
To help him navigate the bullies and instill confidence, Fox reads him books that encourage self-expression in all its forms. “Some of the books are just about how you can be a boy and wear a dress; you can express yourself through your clothing however you want,” she said onThe Talk. “And that doesn’t even have to have anything to do with your sexuality.”
His interest extends to fashion design as well. “He designs, he draws outfits. He’s very talented,” said Fox, who added that he often likes to help style her during fittings.
Beyond his love of fashion, her “gentle soul” is also a music lover. “I’m so proud of my kids,” she gushed, revealing her eldest’s secret talent. “Noah is an unbelievable pianist. He can learn Mozart’s concerto in an hour.”
In an interview forherSports Illustrated Swimsuit Issuecover, the mom of three said that Noah is “an artist” with strong Libra and Pisces energy, adding, “[It] blows my mind how talented he is.”
Fox and Greenwelcomed their second child,son Bodhi, on Feb. 12, 2014. His name has special significance in Buddhism, translating as “enlightened,” which is what drew Fox to the moniker.
As for Bodhi’s middle name, it’s “also sort of religious and spiritual for me,” she said, noting that it means “being saved” and is also her great-grandfather’s middle name.
Fox has aself-proclaimed “angsty” relationshipwith social media — she has deactivated and wiped her Instagram account on multiple occasions — but she has shared a few rare photos of Bodhi and his siblings over the years.
When he was just 20 months old, theTransformersstar posted a sweet closeup of his face, proving that he was her mini-me with his large blue eyes and long lashes. “Bodhi: Stunner. Clown. Unicorn,” she captioned the since-deleted shot of him in a Nirvana T-shirt.
In herSI Swimsuitinterview, the actress described Bodhi as a “little bro,” revealing that he always tells the truth and tries to do the right thing. “The classic middle child where there’s no room to be bad,” she said.
Fox and Greenwelcomed their third child together, son Journey, on Aug. 4, 2016.
“I feel great.I love being pregnant,” theMidnight in the Switchgrassactress toldExtraat the time. “I feel so productive creating a human person that I’m so excited to meet because I know that I have such a spiritual connection to them. So I can’t wait to meet this new member of my family.”
Fox haskept Journey almost entirely out of the spotlight, working hard to minimize his public exposure in order to “protect” him and her other children.
“I knew when they were very young, I wanted to try to protect them however I could, especially limiting their exposure to the internet,” Fox toldGlamour.“So far, we’ve done a really good job and we maintain their innocence in a lot of ways, but I know I can’t protect them forever.”
In herSI Swimsuitinterview, Fox offered rare insight into her youngest’s personality, revealing that he is “naughty and mischievous,” yet “charming and so so cute.”
He’s curious and has a strong memory as well, she noted, explaining that he was capable of intense memorization at a young age. “When he was 3, he already knew like 1,600 species of dinosaurs,” she said. “So his mind is very powerful.”
Roughly a year after the couple suffered a miscarriage, Fox announced onInstagramthat she and MGK areexpecting their first child together.
“nothing is ever really lost. welcome back,” Fox wrote, using lyrics from MGK’s song “last november,” which was about their past pregnancy loss.
“With this being child #4, I already havelearned all the tricksto make my body feel well physically and mentally,” she said. “I am sleeping and exercising and sticking to my healthy diet and lifestyle, as always.”
