Megan Fox is getting candid about her most recent pregnancy.
The actress and mom of four, who welcomed a baby girl with Machine Gun Kelly in March, wrote in a post on her Instagram Story Wednesday that the pregnancy was "a happy surprise."
The post included a video of her posing for a photo shoot while six weeks pregnant.
"38 years old, six weeks pregnant (unplanned but a happy surprise)," she wrote in text overlaid in the video.
"Please stop listening to the patriarchy," she continued. "Women are eternal light beings. We do not have an expiration date Don't let them rob you of your power."
She ended the post by telling her followers to watch her new show, Overcompensating, which dropped May 15 on Prime Video.
Fox announced she was expecting a child with Kelly in November 2024.
She is also the mom of three children -- Noah, Bodhi and Journey -- from her previous marriage to Brian Austin Green.
Kelly also has a daughter from a previous relationship.

The spotlight on Taylor Swift's alleged role in the Justin Baldoni and Blake Lively feud has dimmed for now.
Sources with direct knowledge told ABC News that Swift is no longer facing a subpoena from Baldoni, weeks after she was called as a witness over Baldoni and Lively's alleged conflict on the set of the film It Ends With Us.
The subpoena is no longer needed because the necessary information has been obtained, according to sources with direct knowledge.
ABC's Good Morning America has reached out to reps for Swift and Baldoni.
Swift was subpoenaed by Baldoni's lawyer, Bryan Freedman earlier this month. In February, Freedman told Harvey Levin and Mark Geragos of TMZ's 2 Angry Men podcast that he's not ruling out deposing Swift, Lively's longtime friend.
"Anyone that reasonably has information that can provide evidence in this case is gonna be deposed," Freedman said.
In response, a spokesperson for Swift told GMA in a statement at the time, "Taylor Swift never set foot on the set of this movie, she was not involved in any casting or creative decisions, she did not score the film, she never saw an edit or made any notes on the film, she did not even see It Ends With Us until weeks after its public release, and was traveling around the globe during 2023 and 2024 headlining the biggest tour in history."
The spokesperson added, "The connection Taylor had to this film was permitting the use of one song, 'My Tears Ricochet,'" and said the subpoena was "designed to use Taylor Swift’s name to draw public interest by creating tabloid clickbait instead of focusing on the facts of the case."
Lively and Baldoni have been embroiled in a heated legal feud since December 2024, when Lively first filed a complaint against Baldoni with the California Civil Rights Department, accusing him of sexual harassment on the set of the film, which he also directed.
Baldoni denied the allegations via a statement from Freedman, who called Lively's actions "shameful" for making "serious and categorically false accusations" against Baldoni. He added that it was "another desperate attempt to 'fix' her negative reputation which was garnered from her own remarks and actions during the campaign for the film."
Lively, represented by attorney Michael Gottlieb, and Baldoni, represented by attorney Bryan Freedman, then launched dueling lawsuits against each other.
Baldoni's lawsuit against Lively detailed a text message he allegedly received from Lively in which Baldoni claims she referred to Swift and her husband, Ryan Reynolds, as her "dragons." According to his complaint, it argues that Lively leveraged her relationship with high-profile individuals like Swift and Reynolds to exert her influence over the film. Reynolds is also being sued by Baldoni.
Lively's lawyers called Baldoni's lawsuit "another chapter in the abuser playbook" and accused Baldoni of "trying to shift the narrative to Ms. Lively by falsely claiming that she seized creative control and alienated the cast from Mr. Baldoni."
The actors are due to appear in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York on March 9, 2026, with Judge Lewis Liman overseeing the case.
Ahead of their court date, Lively filed an amended version of her lawsuit against Baldoni in February.
In March, Reynolds filed a motion to dismiss Baldoni's complaint against him. Lively followed and filed a motion to dismiss Baldoni's countersuit against her.
GMA has reached out to attorneys and representatives for Lively in response to Baldoni's withdrawn subpoena.

Lilo & Stitch stars Maia Kealoha and Sydney Agudong may play on-screen siblings, but off screen, they say they've become sisters as well.
The duo, who portray Lilo and Nani Pelekai, respectively, in the reimagined live-action version of the iconic 2002 Disney animated film, said they built a special bond as sisters in the film, but also in real life.
"I think we both felt a very special bond," Agudong, 24, told Good Morning America. "We just loved each other, which was really huge."
Maia, 8, added, "There's nothing that we don't like about each other. As soon as we met, we felt like, 'Oh my gosh, is she my long-lost sister?'"
Like the animated film, the updated 2025 movie centers around Lilo and Nani, who lose their parents in a car accident.
When Nani overhears Lilo wishing for a friend, she lets her sister adopt a dog. The dog happens to be Stitch, an alien from planet Turo, who crash lands into Earth.
At its core, the film centers around the importance of ohana, a Hawaiian term meaning family, and that family means "nobody gets left behind or forgotten."
When it came to casting Nani and Lilo, director Dean Fleischer Camp said chemistry was the most important part, and that Agudong and Maia had that.
"They have an undeniable sisterly chemistry," he said. "When we read Maia with Sydney, it was just so clear from the jump that these two had a spark, and they felt like sisters immediately, and that only continued to grow and deepen."
Lilo & Stitch surfs into theaters May 23.
