LOS ANGELES -- Actress Megan Fox said on Wednesday that she had given birth to a baby boy, her first child, with husband Brian Austin Green, in September.

The "Transformers" actress, 26, made the announcement on her official Facebook page, saying she wanted to release the news herself.

"I gave birth to our son Noah Shannon Green on September 27th. He is healthy, happy, and perfect. We are humbled to have the opportunity to call ourselves the parents of this beautiful soul and I am forever grateful to God for allowing me to know this kind of boundless, immaculate love," the actress said.

Fox and television actor Green, 39, married in June 2010 in Hawaii after a four-year engagement that included a brief split in 2009.

Green, who rose to fame in the 1990s series "Beverly Hills, 90210" and will be seen in the upcoming comedy series "The Wedding Band," has a son, Kassius, from a previous relationship with his "90210" co-star Vanessa Marcil.

The 25-year-old "Friends With Kids" actress is featured on the cover of French magazine Jalouse's April issue. In their interview with her, Fox is quoted as saying she "live[s] well with my image. I cannot complain. I would not trade my place with an unattractive girl."

An annoyed Fox took to her Facebook page Friday to clarify her comments. "Sigh. The actual comment, the context and its intention are grossly distorted and misrepresented here," Fox writes on her profile page (above), adding that poor translation is really to blame. "I gave this interview in English obviously," she says. "It was then translated to French and now back into English."

The actress insists the quotes are completely out of character for her, and says she's not the type to make the type of "vapid self serving comments" printed by the magazine. In fact, Fox asserts, "[I am] in contradiction...uncontrollably self deprecating."

Earlier this month, Fox opened up to MIAMI magazine about feeling insecure and lonely as a teen. "I was never the pretty girl," she shared, calling her younger self "obnoxious" and "abrasive."
