Megan Fox says she has found "a lot more peace" in motherhood with her fourth child, daughter Saga Blade. The actress, 40, told PEOPLE that staying home with Saga has made this experience very different from her earlier ones.
"This is the first time I did not have to go back to work right away," Fox said, explaining that she has been able to really be with her daughter the way she wanted. Fox shares Saga, born on 27 March 2025, with ex Machine Gun Kelly.
She also has three sons, Noah, Bodhi and Journey, with her ex-husband Brian Austin Green. Returning to work early after her sons were born was hard on her, she said, and it affected both her mental and physical health.
When she was younger, she explained, she had to work. Even now she feels some guilt stepping away from Saga, but having the freedom to choose has helped.
The interview was part of her campaign for Ro's new erectile dysfunction medication. Fox and Kelly split in late 2024, before Saga arrived, and a source told PEOPLE in January that their relationship was "just about co-parenting".
Fans and media outlets have closely followed her motherhood journey over the years, noting how her perspective on life and career has evolved significantly. Raising four children while managing public attention is no small feat, yet she appears to be handling the transition gracefully.
Her candid remarks about the pressures of early motherhood have resonated with many working parents around the globe. Industry experts point out that speaking openly about career breaks and mental health helps normalize these challenges for others.
As she continues this peaceful chapter at home, followers eagerly await any future updates on her personal life and upcoming artistic projects. For now, her primary focus remains dedicated to nurturing her children and enjoying quiet family moments.
