US actress Megan Fox ("Transformers") says she doesn't want to give her children smartphones for as long as possible. She worries that her children will have experiences with haters and have to endure hate online. In the podcast, the actress also spoke about her broken engagement.

"My eldest is eleven and my children didn't grow up with screens," the 37-year-old told presenter Alexandra Cooper in the podcast. Her three children with ex-husband Brian Austin Green have "no iPads or anything like that or cell phones".

"I lose a lot of sleep over it"
"I can't keep this up forever," Fox said. "At some point it's going to happen. I try to put it off as long as I can."

The actress, who also talks in the podcast about unpleasant experiences with haters in both the real and digital world, says she worries every day that sooner or later her children will "have some kind of public platform".

Because she and Green are actors, she thinks it's likely that at least one of her children could also become famous at some point, says Fox. "I lose a lot of sleep over it."

Engagement to Machine Gun Kelly broken off
There had been repeated break-up rumors in recent months. Fox has now confirmed in the podcast: She and MGK are no longer engaged.

However, even presenter Alex Cooper was unable to tease the current status of her relationship with Machine Gun Kelly out of the 37-year-old. "What I've learned from this relationship is that it's not for public consumption. Beyond that, I'd rather not comment on the status of the relationship right now," said Megan Fox. "What I can say is that he is what I call my twin soul.
