Who is Journey River Green?
Journey River Green is the youngest son of actress Megan Fox and actor Brian Austin Green. He was born on 4 August 2016 in Los Angeles, as PEOPLE reported at the time, and joined two older brothers, Noah Shannon and Bodhi Ransom. He also has an older half-brother, Kassius, from Brian Austin Green’s earlier relationship with actress Vanessa Marcil.
Fox’s pregnancy became public in the spring of 2016, when she appeared visibly pregnant at CinemaCon in Las Vegas while promoting Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows. Journey was born a few months later, when Fox was 30 and Green was 43.
His mother: Megan Fox
Megan Denise Fox was born on 16 May 1986 in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, and grew up in nearby Rockwood. Her parents separated when she was young, and she was raised mainly by her mother and stepfather. She studied drama and dance as a child, moved into modelling and television as a teenager, and became internationally famous with the Transformers films. Her later work includes Jennifer’s Body, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles films and a range of independent projects.
Away from the screen, Fox has often spoken about motherhood and about wanting her children to grow up with a strong connection to nature, creativity and a healthy lifestyle.
His parents’ relationship
Fox and Green met in 2004 on the set of the sitcom Hope & Faith, when she was 18. Despite the age gap between them, the pair began dating and became engaged in 2006. They briefly called off the engagement in 2009 but reconciled and married in Hawaii in June 2010.
Their marriage had several ups and downs. Fox filed for divorce in 2015, then the couple reconciled, and Journey was born during that period. They announced their separation in 2020 and their divorce was later finalised. Both have since moved on with new partners, while continuing to co-parent their three sons.
How Journey is being raised
Both parents have spoken publicly about the values they want to pass on to their children. Fox has said she prefers to limit screen time, encourage outdoor play and keep meals as healthy as possible. She has also been open about letting her sons express themselves freely, including in the clothes they choose to wear.
Fox has generally kept her children away from social media and the spotlight, preferring that they grow up with as much privacy as possible. Green, meanwhile, occasionally shares family moments and has spoken warmly about fatherhood in interviews and on his podcast.
Journey’s life today
Because his parents are protective of his privacy, little is publicly known about Journey’s day-to-day life beyond the occasional family photo or anecdote. What is clear is that he is growing up in a large blended family, with three brothers on his father’s side and both parents committed to sharing the job of raising him.
