Megan Fox has revealed that she had an ectopic pregnancy years before she suffered a miscarriage with her fiancé Machine Gun Kelly.
The actress, 37, who revealed her pregnancy loss to MGK earlier this month, opened up WWD that she “had an ectopic pregnancy… when [she] was younger.
“I’ve had other things that I’m not going to say because God forbid the world be in turmoil.”
An ectopic pregnancy occurs when a fertilized egg implants and grows outside the main cavity of the uterus, and is the leading cause of death in the first trimester
The star said her pregnancy loss with MGK was made harder because she was “so in love with him,” saying, “That element of love really made this miscarriage tragic for me and left me with a lot of sadness and suffering.”
‘So I’ve written a lot about it. He also wrote about it in his albums, he wrote a few songs about the miscarriage. So it just felt like something I could discuss publicly because it was addressed through him in a way, so I have a space to express it as well.

Poetry about pain: In the book, Megan writes about a ten-week ultrasound scan, saying, “I want to hold your hand / hear your laugh, but now / I have to say goodbye / goodbye,” while elsewhere she adds, “I shut off the pain. my eyes and imagine holding you tight to my chest as they rip you from my insides.”
“It was very difficult for both of us,” she explained. “And it sent us on a very wild journey, together and apart, and together and apart, and together and apart, and together and apart, trying to navigate, ‘What does this mean? Why did this happen?’
The couple has been in an on-again/off-again relationship since 2020, and the movie star said it was the singer – real name Colson Baker – who encouraged her to put pen to paper.
“The person who actually told me I should write a poetry book is Colson,” she said. ‘It was something inside me that had to come out, otherwise I would get sick. Some of it is definitely a metaphor. None of it is what I would say fictional. Those are all real-life experiences I’ve had.”
While neither Megan nor MGK have confirmed the pregnancy loss yet, the “Bloody Valentine” hitmaker seemed to hint at it at the Billboard Music Awards in May 2022, dedicating his performance to Megan and adding, “This is for our unborn child . ‘
On GMA, Megan said the pregnancy loss was made even harder because she had already successfully welcomed three sons with her ex-ex Brian Austin Green, 50: Noah Shannon, 11, Bodhi Ransom, 9, and Journey River, 7,
The Jennifer’s Body vet also wrote about themes of abuse and toxic relationships in her poetry collection, which she says took place during a few high-profile romances.
“It’s not an expose I wrote or a memoir,” she told GMA. “But throughout my life I have been in at least one physically abusive relationship, and a number of very psychologically abusive relationships.
‘I’ve only been publicly connected to a few people, but I shared energy, you could say: [with] people who were terrible people. Also very famous. Very famous people. But no one knows that I was involved with those people.’

“Some of it is too much when you’re a famous person. If I had the freedom to just be a poet and people not really wanting to dig too much into my personal life, I would have included more contributions like that.”
Megan also said that some painful experiences she explored on paper never made it into the pages of Pretty Boys Are Poisonous.
“I wrote a lot of things that didn’t make it into the book,” she added. “I thought, ‘Maybe this is for God’s eyes only.’
On choosing to share difficult moments in a book, Megan said she wants to inspire other women to find strength in using their own voices.
“Because it gives your pain an elegant place to live, turning it into art makes it useful for other people,” she said. ‘So it’s not just you who suffers from it.’
