Megan Fox is raising her sons to be better than her exes.
In a new interview with WWD about her new poetry book, “Pretty Boys Are Poisonous,” the “Transformers” star got candid about how she is parenting her three sons — Noah, 11, Bodhi, 9, and Journey, 7 — whom she shares with ex-husband Brain Austin Green.
“I think because I have sons, it’s very important to me to raise boys who are not like these men that I’ve been with,” she said.
“It’s very important for me to raise boys who are able to have a very deep emotional intimacy with their partner.”
Fox, 37, noted that “it’s very important” that she does not raise kids who are “liars,” but, instead, are able to be “fully transparent and honest and respectful and experience at some point in their life.”
The “Jennifer’s Body” actress said she also doesn’t expect her sons to “have a sacred love” at 16.
“I do expect them at some point to get to that place, because I am their first introduction into women and the way that I love them is going to influence the way they are allowed to love others when they go out into a relationship,” she added.
“And so I hope that just through my transparency in the way that I engage with them, in the way that I am demonstrative and affectionate with them, that allows them to love in a really healthy way.”
Fox rarely shares pictures of her children on social media and mostly keeps them out of the spotlight because she doesn’t want people to react negatively to her kids.
Last April, the mom of three revealed that her eldest son, Noah, was getting bullied in school because he wore dresses.
“Although my kid is so brave and my child is so brave and I know that they’ve chosen this journey for a reason,” she told Glamour UK at the time. “It’s just hard as a mom.”
Fox said Noah began wearing dresses as a toddler and she has since tried to help him by buying books “that sort of addressed these things” and were written by transgender children.
The actress — who is now engaged to rapper Machine Gun Kelly — said she makes sure none of her kids are made to feel like “they are weird or strange or different.”
Green — who was married to Fox from 2010 to 2021 — defended his ex-wife, saying that she did not force their sons to “wear girl clothes” after a politician accused her of “child abuse” for their attire.
“This person trying to claim this is true is a perfect example of someone with selfish motives that does not care about negatively affecting a parent child relationship,” the “Beverly Hills 90210” alum, 50, told TMZ in June.
He then clapped back at social media users who called him a “bad father” for defending the “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” actress.
Green asked the trolls to “do better as a society” for “future generations” by refraining from sending him hateful messages.
“Why anyone thinks it’s morally okay to attack people like this that they have never even met is crazy,” he added.
