About

Megan Denise Fox was born on May 16 1986, in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, and first stepped in front of the camera at fifteen after relocating to Los Angeles with her mother. A handful of small TV parts led to her breakout as Mikaela Banes in Michael Bay’s 2007 blockbuster Transformers. The film’s global success—and its 2009 sequel—turned the young actress into an instantly recognizable pop-culture figure. She later front-lined cult-favorite Jennifer’s Body (2009), voiced April O’Neil in the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles reboot series (2014, 2016), and returned to thrillers with Subservience (2024), playing an android whose helpful coding goes rogue. Fox’s range has expanded beyond screens: her debut poetry collection, Pretty Boys Are Poisonous (2023), became a New York Times bestseller, showing a raw, confessional voice many readers didn’t expect.

Before Fame

Fox grew up in a strict Pentecostal household but spent twelve years in Catholic school, channeling a surplus of childhood energy into dance lessons and competitive swimming. By the time she was in middle school, she was winning regional modelling and talent conventions in Florida. Those trophies convinced her mother to back a west-coast move when Fox was 15, where she juggled correspondence courses with auditions. Her very first role was in the straight-to-video surf comedy Holiday in the Sun (2001) opposite the Olsen twins, giving her a Screen Actors Guild card and enough on-set experience to land guest spots on sitcoms such as Hope & Faith—all stepping-stones toward blockbuster territory three years later.

Trivia

  • Tattoo portfolio: Fox has more than a dozen designs. Stand-outs include the Shakespeare line “We will all laugh at gilded butterflies” on her shoulder blade and the Spanish phrase el pistolero (“the gunman”) along her collarbone, a nod to Machine Gun Kelly’s stage persona. She once carried a portrait of Marilyn Monroe on her forearm but chose laser removal, explaining she no longer wanted to “invite that energy.”
  • Secret gamer: Away from red carpets she enjoys classic Mortal Kombat sessions and has confessed to losing whole weekends to Halo.
  • Comic-book cred: Before playing April in TMNT, Fox collected the original Mirage issues and can still name every Ninja Turtle weapon on cue.
  • Authorial turn: Her 2023 poetry book lays bare toxic relationships, miscarriage grief, and hard-won self-worth; Fox has said writing was “cheaper than therapy.”
  • Phobias & fix-its: She will not sip from restaurant cutlery unless it’s been boiled first and keeps travel-size silverware in her bag—yet she’ll happily free-dive with sharks for charity expeditions.

Family Life

Fox is the elder of two sisters raised by Gloria Darlene Cisson and parole officer Franklin Thomas Fox, who divorced when she was three. After her mother’s remarriage, the family settled in Port St. Lucie, Florida, where tight household rules often clashed with Fox’s artistic streak.

In 2004, while filming Hope & Faith, she began dating actor Brian Austin Green. They wed on a Hawaiian beach in June 2010 and share three sons: Noah Shannon (b. 2012), Bodhi Ransom (b. 2014), and Journey River (b. 2016). After several separations, the pair finalized their divorce in February 2022 but remain amicable co-parents.

Fox’s next high-profile romance ignited on the Midnight in the Switchgrass set in 2020 with musician-actor Colson “Machine Gun Kelly” Baker. The duo announced their engagement in January 2022 beneath a banyan tree in Puerto Rico. Although the relationship ended publicly in late 2024, they welcomed a daughter in March 2025 and have focused on cooperative parenting since.

Associated With

  • Michael Bay: Directed her star-making turn in Transformers. Their professional dynamic attracted headlines after Fox compared Bay’s on-set style to a historical dictator; she exited the franchise before the third film, but both later praised each other’s work ethic.
  • Shia LaBeouf: Her Transformers co-lead, whose quick-fire banter with Fox fueled the series’ human heart and, for a time, a brief off-screen romance.
  • Diablo Cody & Karyn Kusama: The writer-director team behind Jennifer’s Body. Fox credits their feminist horror for rescuing her from the “hot girl” pigeonhole and says the film’s cult revival gave her career a second wind.
  • Amanda Seyfried: Played her on-screen best friend-turned-foe in Jennifer’s Body; the duo remain friendly and have discussed collaborating again on an indie drama.
  • Machine Gun Kelly: Beyond their personal chapter, the pair shared screen time in Midnight in the Switchgrass and appeared in each other’s music videos, merging rock visuals with Fox’s genre-film aura.
