Megan Fox is one of the most recognizable, and the most gorgeous, women in Hollywood. In addition to being one of the quintessential actresses of the 2000s, she's also a mom to three boys. I know, right? She truly is a superwoman.

While she mostly makes headlines now for her interesting relationship with Machine Gun Kelly, I think it's about time she was praised for her parenting.

Megan Fox has been making headlines a lot this past year because of her ~controversial~ relationship with fiancé Machine Gun Kelly.

As far as anything else in her personal life, the Transformers actress normally keeps that away from the public eye.

As fans may recall, Megan was married to actor Brian Austin Green for 10 years before calling it quits back in 2020.

The pair had three sons together — 9-year-old Noah Shannon, 8-year-old Bodhi Ransom, and 5-year-old Journey River.

Megan has previously spoken about her eldest son's interest in wearing dresses and now, in a new interview with Glamour UK, the 35-year-old updated fans on their journey.

“Noah started wearing dresses when he was about two, and I bought a bunch of books that sort of addressed these things and addressed a full spectrum of what this is," she explained.

"Some of the books are written by transgender children. Some of the books are just about how you can be a boy and wear a dress; you can express yourself through your clothing however you want."

She explained that she wanted her son to understand his desire to wear dresses didn't have anything to do with his sexuality.

"From the time they were very young, I’ve incorporated those things into their daily lives so that nobody feels like they are weird or strange or different," she said.

“I can’t control the way other people react to my children. I can’t control the things that other children – that they go to school with – have been taught and then repeat to them."

She explained that, for this reason, she is hesitant to share her children on social media.

"I’m so proud of my kids. Noah is an unbelievable pianist. He can learn Mozart’s concerto in an hour," she shared. "I want people to see that, but I also don’t want the world to have access to this gentle soul and say all the things that we all know they’re going to say."

Detailing about her children's classmates, she knows many of them have famous parents who also keep their children off of social media.

"So far, we’ve done a really good job and we maintain their innocence in a lot of ways, but I know I can’t protect them forever, though I do have a child that suffers."

Getting emotional, Megan wishes for a more inclusive world for her children.

"I have a lot of worries about that, because I just wish that humanity was not like this. Although my kid is so brave and my child is so brave and I know that they’ve chosen this journey for a reason. It’s just hard as a mom."

We think Megan is doing an amazing job and I'm sure so many parents can relate.
