Megan Fox has opened up about suffering a miscarriage at 10 weeks in her new book Pretty Boys Are Poisonous.
The Hollywood star has given an insight into her life like never before in the collection of poems where she opens up about her private life. Megan has described the book in a statement where she described her complex relationship with men.
She said: "These poems were written in an attempt to excise the illness that had taken root in me because of my silence. I’ve spent my entire life keeping the secrets of men, my body aches from carrying the weight of their sins."

The poems - titled I and II - detail the loss in several emotional lines. She pens: “There is an ultrasound by your side of the bed, 10 weeks and 1 day … do you think that if she could have, she would have left a suicide note? But now I have to say goodbye. I close my eyes and imagine holding you tight against my chest as they rip you from my insides.”

In the song he is heard singing: “Go to sleep, I’ll see you in my dreams, this changes everything, now I have to set you free.”
The track also features the sound of a heartbeat at around 2.50 into it. MGK later appeared to confirm the subject matter at the 2022 Billboard Music Awards when he performed the song. At the time he said: “I wrote this song for my wife … this is for our unborn child."
Megan has three children - Noah, Bodhi and Journey - with her ex-husband Brian Austin Green who she was married to for 12 years from 2010 to 2022. Talking to people about her book she said: “Relationships are not pretty. They are ugly. Sometimes they are a war. But through a wound enters an opportunity to grow and become a stronger more whole version of yourself.”
