Megan Fox confirms she was 'in love' with Shia LaBeouf and revealed what happened on Transformers set

Megan Fox has revealed that she was "in love" with Shia LaBeouf and opened up about the details of their romantic relationship on the set of Transformers.

Fox and LaBeouf, who played love interests Mikaela Banes and Sam Witwicky in the sci-fi blockbuster, reportedly had more chemistry than just what was captured on screen.

Fox Reveals She Was In Love With Her Co-Star

In a candid 2018 appearance on Watch What Happens Live, the Jennifer's Body star confirmed the romantic nature of her relationship with LaBeouf when host Andy Cohen asked if his 2011 interview with Details magazine, in which LaBeouf admitted to their fling, was accurate.

"Look, you’re on the set for six months, with someone who’s rooting to be attracted to you, and you’re rooting to be attracted to them," the actor said at the time.

"I never understood the separation of work and life in that situation. But the time I spent with Megan was our own thing, and I think you can see the chemistry onscreen," he added.

In response to his comments, Fox told Cohen: "I mean, I would confirm that it was romantic...I love him, I have never been really quiet about that, I love him."

When the host asked if it was just an on-set romance that didn't continue after filming, she replied, "Yeah."

The pair's relationship ultimately didn’t last, as the now-39-year-old actress married Brian Austin Green in June 2010.

Fox and Green share three children: Noah Shannon, Bodhi Ransom, and Journey River Green, but they parted ways in 2020.

Following the split, Fox went on to date musician Machine Gun Kelly, and although the two were previously engaged, they eventually separated but welcomed a fourth child.

Despite no longer being romantically involved, MGK has often spoken about the role the actress still plays in his life.

"It truly was an epic story of love, pain, and a lot of magic," he said during an appearance on The Jennifer Hudson Show. "I had it with a person who is the greatest partner, the greatest partner to have had a child with."

Meanwhile, LaBeouf married actress Mia Goth in 2016, but they separated and filed for divorce two years later.

In February 2022, reports surfaced that they had reconciled, and the British actress was expecting their first child, who was born in March 2022.

LaBeouf credited Goth with saving his life during a difficult time, saying: "She was present for me when I didn’t deserve to have anybody in my life, especially her... She gave me hope when I was really running on fumes."

"It's the first time I ever really understood love, because I didn't have nothing to give," he added.

However, the couple's reunion was short-lived, and they broke up again in 2025.
