Megan Fox's father reveals his daughter's marriage is going strong (2024)

Pregnant Megan Fox's marriage is back on track and she is expecting a third baby boy, the actress' father has revealed to Daily Mail Online.

Franklin Fox claims his daughter's on-again-off-again relationship with the child's father, actor Brian Austin Green, has been mended and their divorce plans have been scrapped.

Talking of their marriage, Franklin, 65, said: 'All I can say is that they are together and they are happy.I’ve met Brian a ton of times now and he is a great guy.

'Megan is an amazing mom and I can’t believe she is going to have three boys.Becoming a grandfather has been a wonderful experience and brought us all even closer together.'

Megan and Brian started dating in 2004, having met while working together on Hope & Faith when she was 18 and he was 30.

The pair got engaged in 2006 and briefly called off their engagement in 2009, but married in Hawaii in June 2010 after rekindling their romance.

But around ten months ago, their relationship hit the skids once again as they separated and announced they were divorcing.

So it came as a surprise when the 30-year-old actress was spotted showing off a prominent baby bump at CinemaCon, Las Vegas, in April.

But according to Megan's father the couple is now happy again, have canceled their divorce and continue to spend time together

On Tuesday The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles star was snapped enjoying a day out with Brian at Disneyland in Anaheim, California, displaying a very round belly.

Brian was seen with her pushing a stroller.

Megan is already a mom to two sons: three-year-old Noah and two-year-old Bodhi with Brian; she is also a step-mother to Brian's 14-year-old son Kassius from his previous relationship with Vanessa Marcil.

For Megan's once-estranged father Franklin, he's thrilled at being back in his famous daughter’s life.

He spoke for the first time to reveal his pride at how Megan overcame cruel school bullies, crippling insecurities and a family divorce which left him absent from his daughter’s life for years.

But Franklin tells how the family are slowly putting their dark days behind them.

Speaking from his home in Rockwood, Tennessee, parole officer Franklin said: 'There were years that were very painful of all of us and that has left its mark.

'It’s been far from easy for Megan and it just shows how determined, strong-willed and smart she is, to have achieved all she has, despite all she has been through.

'For a long time I wasn’t really a part of Megan’s life and that was heartbreaking.There were the years when she told me she had been the victim of horrendous bullying and never felt good enough.

'And that tore me apart to know I was not there for her.Thankfully Megan reached out to me in recent years and today we are rebuilding our family and are incredibly close.

'I am the grandfather of her two gorgeous boys and now she has another boy on the way.I couldn’t be prouder of the woman my little girl has become.'

Megan was just three years old when her family life was ripped apart when her mom, Gloria, and dad, Franklin, divorced.

For the next seven years Franklin says they managed to co-parent Megan as best they could, as all remained living in the same small town.

But when Megan turned ten, everything changed when Gloria remarried Tony Tonachio and moved her new family, including Megan and big sister Kristi, now 42, 700 miles away to Florida.

It was while in high school in Florida, Megan was the victim of cruel bullies and she also had to contend with a very strict step-father who never allowed her to have friends over, stopped her from learning to drive and forbade her from having a boyfriend.

And all the time, the one man she had relied upon to protect her, her father, was so far away she was lucky if she saw him once a year.

Speaking of that time, Franklin said: 'When they moved to Florida its like a part of me died.

'I loved Megan and her sister and suddenly they were not in my life anymore and I was not in theirs and that was brutal for all of us.I missed them so much and I know they missed me.'

Franklin became so removed from Megan’s life, he didn’t even know she was getting married to actor Brian Austin Green, until one day before their wedding and had never even met her fiancé.

But today he reveals the surprise text he received from his daughter on the eve of her wedding, was the catalyst to them rebuilding their relationship.

'That text changed everything,' Franklin says. 'She told me she was getting married and that she was in love and happy.

'Of course I was devastated not to be a part of her wedding and had never met Brian at that point.But more than that, I was overjoyed she had reached out to tell me at all.

'We had drifted apart for so long, but I always knew one day she would come back into my life and my heart almost burst when I read her message that the next day she was going to be a bride.'

Franklin says that from that day he has been in constant contact with his daughter,

'It's like I have my little girl back and she still calls me "daddy",' he said. 'These days we text or call each other every other day and I love being a part of her life.'

He added that he's so happy that Megan is living her 'dream life'.

He said: 'I used to have reservations about her becoming an actress, but when I go to stay in her home and see all she has achieved, I know Megan really is living her dream life.

'She really has come a long, long way from her childhood.And that makes me one very proud, very happy dad.'
