7 Megan Fox Is Raising Her Children Gender Neutral
Megan Fox has been very open about how she is raising her children. In fact, the actress opened up about toxic gender stereotypes on numerous occasions.
"When I became pregnant with Noah, I could feel, through my mother’s intuition I suppose, that he was not subscribing to gender stereotypes, so I decided to provide an environment for him early on that would allow him to discover how he wanted to express himself. If a boy loves princesses and a girl loves baseball, that’s not indicative of their sexuality. It’s indicative of their communication and creative expression. We can’t limit children by telling them how they should play.”
The actress also revealed that she lets her sons wear what they want, and they have been spotted wearing dresses in public. Here's what she said about her eldest, Noah: "Sometimes, he'll dress himself and he likes to wear dresses. And I send him to a really liberal, hippy school, but even there — here in California — he still has little boys going, 'Boys don't wear dresses,' or 'Boys don't wear pink.' So we're going through that now, where I'm trying to teach him to be confident no matter what anyone else says."
6 Megan Fox And Brian Austin Green Have Joint Custody Over Their Children
Megan Fox and Brian Austin Green have agreed to joint legal and physical custody of their three children. So while the kids do spend plenty of time with both parents, Fox often gets called out for not being there enough for her children.
The actress even addressed the double standard by saying: "There’s so much judgment. 'Where are your kids?' Do you ask their dad when he’s out? No, because you don’t expect a dad to be with the kids all the time, but I am supposed to not be seen and be at home with my kids. They have another parent. I have to leave, and sometimes I don’t want them photographed, and they don’t come with me. This whole year I’ve been very surprised by how archaic some of the mindsets still are in some people."
5 Megan Fox Doesn't Want Her Children's Photos On The Internet
In 2020, Megan Fox criticized ex-husband Brian Austin Green for posting a photo of their at-the-time 4-year-old Journey on Instagram. Fox's comment said:
"Why does Journey have to be in this picture? It's not hard to crop them out. Or choose photos that they aren't in. I had a great Halloween with them yesterday, and yet notice how absent they are from my social media. I know you love your kids. But I don't know why you can't stop using them to posture via social media. You're so intoxicated with feeding the pervasive narrative that I'm an absent mother, and you are the perennial, eternally dedicated dad of the year. You have them half of the time. Congratulations you truly are a remarkable human! Why do you need the internet to echo back to you what should be inexhaustibly evident in the way your children love you?"
It's clear that Megan Fox prefers keeping photos of their children off the internet — and even though she spends plenty of time with them, she prefers it to not be in the public.
