Megan Foxis opening up about the hardships she faces as a mother.
Fox, 35, shared her feeling about being away from her children at times due to her busy schedule, saying, “it is hard.”
“I travel for long periods of time, and they have to attend school, which is what it is,” she explained toGlamour, as the UK outlet’s April cover star. “I wish I could take them out to travel with me, it would make things a lot easier.”
“I cry often, every new moon usually. I get in the bath and cry a lot about it because it is hard and not because of pressures that anybody else or society puts on you, but it is just hard being separated from them in that way,” she added. “They are my DNA.”

TheTransformersactress shares her children —Journey River, 5,Bodhi Ransom, 8, andNoah Shannon, 9 – with her exBrian Austin Green. The former couplefiled for divorcein 2020 after nearly ten years of marriage.
As she discussed her children with the outlet, Fox also noted her split from Austin played a part in her not being able to spend more time with her kids since the two share joint custody of their sons.
“It’s hard to not feel obligated to be with them all the time or to constantly feel like I’m not doing a good enough job,” she said. “But I’m also separated from their father. So, I can only have them half of the time.”
“That just is what it is,” she continued. “And in some ways that allows me to have moments for myself, where I can live my life as me, not just always being someone’s mother and that’s nice, but you always struggle with the guilt, kind of feeling like, ‘I haven’t done enough.’ "

Jennifer’s Bodystar also spoke toGlamourabout her eldest Noah’sdesire to wear dresses, sharing her son “started wearing dresses when he was about two.”
Soon after that, the actress said she “bought a bunch of books that sort of addressed these things and addressed a full spectrum of what this is.”
“So 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,” said Fox.
“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. That’s also why I don’t really put my children on Instagram or social media,” Fox explained.
“I’m so proud of my kids. Noah is an unbelievable pianist. He can learn Mozart’s concerto in an hour,” she said. “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.”
