Megan Fox has announced that she and American rapper Machine Gun Kelly are expecting their first child together.

The Transformers actress tagged the musician in a photo of her kneeling, covered in a black substance and cradling a baby bump.

Fox, who revealed last year that a previous pregnancy had ended in miscarriage, also posted a photo of a positive pregnancy test alongside the portrait.

The actress, who has been dating Kelly since 2020, captioned the images: “Nothing is ever truly lost. Welcome back.”

Fox previously spoke about her miscarriage on ABC’s Good Morning America.

She said: “I’ve never experienced anything like this in my life. It was very difficult for both of us.

“It sent us on a very wild journey together and separately – trying to navigate what this means and why did this happen?”

She also shared her experiences in her book Pretty Boys are Poisonous, through two poems.

In an interview with Women’s Wear, Daily Fox also revealed that she had experienced an ectopic pregnancy on another occasion.

This is when a fertilized egg implants itself outside the uterus, usually in one of the fallopian tubes.

The American actress has three children and Machine Gun Kelly has a daughter from a previous relationship.
