Megan Fox's Kids: Ages, Gender, Children's Names, Dad - Parade Skip to main content

Actress Megan Fox was known as a bona fide bombshell when she first became a breakout star in the early '00s—and now, she's both a bombshell and a mom (because, yes, you absolutely can be both). And while she's recently taken her romantic relationship with (and temporary split from) rapper and actor Machine Gun Kelly public, she's long taken the opposite approach when it comes to her kids with ex-husband Brian Austin Green, rarely talking about them or sharing pics of them on social media. Still, Fox has gone on the record saying motherhood has deeply changed her.

“Getting pregnant—that was the first real breakthrough where my consciousness shifted and my mind opened up and I was able to see from a bird's eye view and breathe and take it in," Fox told Entertainment Tonight in 2019. "And then another kid, and then another kid and with every kid I feel like that's always been the doorway into a better version of myself."

How many kids does Megan Fox have?

Megan Fox has three children—Noah Shannon Green, 10, Bodhi Ransom Green, 9, and Journey River Green, 6—with the 49-year-old Green. She rarely posts pictures of her children, but in October 2019, she did share some adorable snaps from her family's Halloween-themed outing to Disneyland. "Can I get ONE family photo where everyone is looking at the camera and making a semi-normal face?" she asked in the caption.

In May 2021, Fox said about her boys during an appearance on The Kelly Clarkson Show, "They love each other. They're best friends, but the fighting is non-stop because they have so much energy and they're so rambunctious that it's just a melee. My kids will pull out fists full of hair and be like, 'I got your hair, Noah!'"

How old was Megan Fox when she had her first baby?

Megan Fox was 26 when she gave birth to her first child, son Noah Shannon Green, back in 2012. Fox has since credited the birth of her son with giving her a “purpose” in life.

“That kind of saved me honestly, I needed an escape,” the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles star told The Washington Post. She added she was, “so lost and trying to understand how am I supposed to feel value or find purpose in this horrendous, patriarchal, misogynistic hell that was Hollywood at the time.”

Does Megan Fox have sons or daughters?

Fox and Green share three sons. There are not many public photos of the Green children online, but in the ones that exist, each child appears to have long hair, which sometimes prompts people to ask questions about their genders. In fact, Fox has spoken publicly about choosing to raise her three boys as gender-neutral.

"When I became pregnant with Noah, I could feel, through my mother's intuition I suppose, that he was not subscribing to gender stereotypes, so I decided to provide an environment for him early on that would allow him to discover how he wanted to express himself," Fox has said. "If a boy loves princesses and a girl loves baseball, that’s not indicative of their sexuality. It's indicative of their communication and creative expression. We can't limit children by telling them how they should play."

That being said, it sounds like Fox is getting the full boy-mom experience keeping everyone safe and happy at home.

"I don't know what it's like to have a girl," Fox also told Clarkson on her talk show. "For me, it's like UFC Fight Night all day, every day."

How many daughters does Megan Fox have?

At this time, Megan Fox does not have any daughters. The model/actress is the mother of three sons: Noah, Bodhi and Journey. Fox has been open in the past about son Noah’s non-conformity when it comes to gender expression, including his desire to sometimes wear dresses.

Fox has previously discussed how Noah “started wearing dresses when he was about two,” and how she works to support her son. When it comes to trolls targeting her child online, Fox says, “I don't want him to ever have to read that s--- because he hears it from little kids at his own school who are like, 'Boys don't wear dresses.’"

For his part, Fox’s eldest son seems confident in his fashion choices. "He just wore [a dress] two days ago to school, and he came home and I was like, 'How was it? Did any of the friends at school have anything to say?' And he was like, 'Well, all the boys laughed when I came in, but I don't care, I love dresses too much.'"

One thing is clear, the actress wants her children to know she will be by their side no matter what, in addition to making sure her kids learn about different walks of life. "Some of the books [we read] are written by transgender children. 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. And that doesn't even have to have anything to do with your sexuality." 

The Transformers star continued, "So from the time they were very young, I've incorporated those things into their daily lives so that nobody feels like they are weird or strange or different."

Does Megan Fox have a stepchild?

Megan Fox had a stepchild through her marriage to ex-husband Brian Austin Green, who shares a son, Kassius Lijah Marcil-Green, 21, with his ex, actress Vanessa Marcil

Green recently praised Fox for her role in raising Kassius after his ex, Marcil, claimed to have raised their son "alone."

"So, I can't tell you how frustrating it is to read continued lies from a 50+ year old woman on social media like she is still in high school," he said on Instagram. "he has never in her life been someone to walk the walk. Talk is cheap. Megan and I [busted] our a--es to give Kass a well-rounded childhood [because] his mom was rarely there."

It's not clear what Fox's relationship to Kassius is today.

Her presumed fiancé, Colson Baker (a.k.a. Machine Gun Kelly), also has a daughter, Casie Baker, age 13, whose mother is Baker's ex Emma Cannon. Baker and Fox’s relationship has been tumultuous in recent months and the two are said to be working on things but taking it slowly.

Does Megan Fox still have her kids?

Megan Fox shares joint custody of her three children with her ex-husband, the kids’ father Brian Austin Green. Although they had one public, post-split disagreement over sharing photos of their children on Instagram, the pair seem to be on fairly cordial co-parenting terms these days. In fact, Green told E! News that they “co-parent really well together… [W]e don’t fight over time with the kids… [and] alternate holidays between Christmas Day, Christmas Eve.”

As Fox is very protective when it comes to exposing her children to the spotlight, preferring to keep them as private as possible, she has experienced what has been characterized as unfair criticism for her children’s absence on her social media pages and during her red carpet appearances.

In 2022 when Fox posted a picture of herself on a swing on social media, she responded sarcastically to one follower’s comment of “Where your kids at?”

Fox’s reply read, “Wait wait wait. I…have kids?!? Oh my god I knew I forgot something!! Quick, someone call the valet at the Beverly Hills Hotel. That's the last place I remember seeing them. Maybe someone turned them into lost and found."

Good for her!
