In a recent interview with Vanity Fair, the 37-year-old actress opened up about her experiences with pregnancy loss, particularly disclosing an unknown ectopic pregnancy in her early twenties.
Discussing her journey’s undisclosed facets, Megan Fox mentioned, “I have other things that I’m not going to say because God forbid the world should explode.”
The interview focused on her new poetry book, “Pretty Boys & Poison,” released earlier this month, which sheds light on pregnancy loss and collaborates with anonymous contributors on topics of physical and emotional abuse.
Reflecting on the emotional impact of her abortion, Megan Fox shared with GMA, “I had never experienced this kind of situation in my life before. I have three children. So, it was very difficult for both of us, and it led us on a very wild journey together.”
The actress and writer, a mother to three kids—Noah, 11; Bodhi, 9; and Journey, 7—from her previous marriage to Brian Austin Green (50), separated in 2020 after ten years of marriage. Machine Gun Kelly’s previous relationship has a 14-year-old daughter named Casie.
Released on November 7, Megan Fox’s first poetry book includes 70 sets of poems touching on pregnancy loss, as well as physical and emotional abuse by anonymous contributors.
In an interview with GMA, Megan Fox emphasized that the purpose of the poetry book is not merely an exposé but a message to empower other women to speak. She expressed, “It gives a beautiful place for your pain to live. Putting it into art is not only helpful for yourself but it makes it useful for others, and therefore, you’re not only suffering for yourself.”
What’s an ectopic pregnancy?
Understanding the changing gears, it’s crucial to grasp what an ectopic pregnancy entails. According to the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG), an ectopic pregnancy occurs when a fertilized egg grows outside the uterus. More than 90% of such pregnancies happen in the fallopian tubes, and as the pregnancy progresses, the tube may rupture. Board-certified obstetrician/gynecologist Dr. Kristin Greves emphasizes that an ectopic pregnancy is not viable, meaning it cannot result in a live birth.
