Megan Fox Shares Postpartum Health Struggles After Welcoming Baby

by

Megan Fox has been transformed by motherhood.

Megan Fox has said it’s been a little challenging to focus since giving birth to her daughter, Saga Blade, six months ago. Saga’s father is Megan’s ex, Machine Gun Kelly.

Megan recently announced she had a baby during a Q&A event in Los Angeles, explaining she’s been experiencing some ‘brain fog’ as a result, according to a video posted on TikTok.

The woman, 39, shared that she’s been struggling with sleep for the past seven months. She apologized in advance if she repeated herself, and asked people to feel free to gently point her back to the topic if she wandered off course.

Megan, who has three children – 13-year-old Noah, 11-year-old Bodhi, and 9-year-old Journey – with her ex-husband Brian Austin Green, easily remembered how she felt while filming the 2009 movie where she played Jennifer Check alongside Amanda Seyfried.

I connected with the script because it touched on feelings I was experiencing at the time. I felt unfairly targeted in my career and was really struggling with the pressures and trauma that came with being famous.

As a huge fan, what really struck me about what they said was how deeply they connected with the character. They explained that before the monster side, she’s just a teenage girl used by others, and that really hit home for them personally – it reminded them of their own experiences starting out in the industry. It’s amazing to see an actor bring such honesty and vulnerability to a role!

Playing the character Jennifer allowed her to express parts of her personality that are normally considered wild or inappropriate for everyday life.

She paused, reflecting, “It was really enjoyable to explore that side of myself – a more intense, powerful femininity that people often suppress.”

This Q&A session was one of Megan’s first public appearances since having her baby, Saga. As Megan’s ex-husband, Machine Gun Kelly (MGK), shared, she’s been prioritizing her family since their split in December, before Saga was born.

“Megan is a great mom,” the 35-year-old gushed on Today in June. “She’s killing it. I’m so excited.”

Fortunately, Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly (born Colson Baker) have found a way to co-parent effectively, despite having one point of disagreement.

He playfully mentioned on The Jennifer Hudson Show in September that people keep commenting on how much his daughter, Saga, resembles either him or her mother. He said that just last month, she looked the spitting image of him, but now she looks just like her mother.

For a deep dive into Megan and MGK’s relationship before Saga, keep reading.

The couple recently shared the story of how they first met on the set of the movie Midnight in the Switchglass during their debut podcast together. They also publicly confirmed their relationship on Instagram in July when MGK posted a photo of them with a romantic caption about finally finding each other.

I was so excited to see the actress finally share a picture with her new boyfriend! She posted it with the sweetest caption – “Achingly Beautiful Boy… My heart is yours.” It’s clear she’s really fallen for him, and it’s lovely to see her so happy!

The couple debuted their relationship on the red carpet at the American Music Awards. That same month, the actress filed for divorce from Brian Austin Green, her husband and the father of her three sons.

Machine Gun Kelly celebrated his birthday with a double date, joined by Kourtney Kardashian and her partner, Travis Barker.

I was so excited to be there when Megan showed her support for Machine Gun Kelly at the launch of his new ring collection! It’s called The 8th Deadly Sin – GOSSIP, and it’s a collaboration with the amazing jewelry designer, Stephen Webster. The event was in London, and it was incredible to see their creative partnership come to life.

The two also partied at Vas Morgan and Michael Braun‘s Halloween party.

The actress confirmed that she and MGK had at one point called off their engagement.

She explained on the Call Her Daddy podcast that she prefers to keep her relationship private. Because of that, she’s choosing not to discuss its current status.

She explained that she considers him her “twin soul,” and feels an unbreakable connection to him, regardless of the circumstances.

Megan and her partner announced they are expecting a baby. She shared the news on Instagram with a nude photo covered in black paint, cradling her baby bump, and a message saying, “Nothing is ever really lost. Welcome back.”

She also included a picture of a pregnancy test with the word, “Yes.”

 

Just after Megan announced she was pregnant, the couple broke up, according to several reports on December 10th.

The couple’s daughter was born on March 27, 2025. Machine Gun Kelly shared that Megan gave birth while listening to music he created with his friend Travis Barker.

The musician explained that they named their daughter Saga Blade Fox-Baker to represent a five-year journey of hope and setbacks, describing it as a cycle of beginnings and returns.

 “She is an epic story,” he told Today. “That’s what saga means.”
