Megan Fox is leaning into postpartum life after welcoming her fourth child — her first with ex-fiancé Machine Gun Kelly.
“Megan has really leaned into motherhood again,” a source close to the actress exclusively told Us Weekly. “She loved when her kids were little and has missed that phase. She feels renewed and refreshed.”
(In addition to her daughter, Fox is also the mother of Noah, 12, Bohdi, 10, and Journey 8, whom she shares with her ex-husband Brian Austin Green. Kelly is also dad to 15-year-old daughter Casi with ex Emma Cannon.)
The source went on to reveal to Us that those closest to Fox, 38, have seen a new side of the now-mom of four since she gave birth on March 27.
“Friends haven’t seen her this happy in years,” the source said. “She’s glowing.”
Kelly announced the birth of his first child with the actress last month.
“She’s finally here!! Our little celestial seed 🥹💓♈️♓️♊️. 3/27/25,” Kelly, 34, wrote via Instagram at the time, alongside a video featuring the newborn. The pair announced they were expecting their first child together in November 2024. They were first romantically linked in June 2020 after meeting on a movie set, announced their engagement in 2022 and ultimately split in 2024, shortly before news of the pregnancy went public.
The same source told Us that there has been a “noticeable change” in the former couple’s relationship since they welcomed their daughter into the world.
“The relationship is still complicated. They haven’t reconciled,” the source said. “It’s a mix of healing and hard conversations that they have had.”
The insider went on to add that the birth of their child has ultimately “brought them closer together,” noting that both parents are “obsessed” with their little girl.
The source also told Us that Kelly has “completely changed” since his ex Fox gave birth.
“The baby is already wrapped around his finger,” the source continued. “Megan has noticed his energy is different, the look in his eyes is different, his aura has changed. She feels the baby is exactly what he needed, and she is hoping it sticks.”
According to the insider, the new mom’s “biggest worry” is that her ex “will change again and be the guy she doesn’t know.” As of now, according to the same source, there are no plans for the former couple to reconcile and give their previous relationship another go.
Despite Fox’s worry that her ex will backslide, the source said that Kelly (real name Colson Baker) has been there “100 percent” of the time since welcoming his baby girl.
“[He’s] making sure they are taken care of, doing on them, being present,” the source revealed. “It’s changed [Fox’s] mind a little bit about him and if there can be a future of them together.”
