Brian Austin Green didn’t want to get divorced.
Admittedly “devastated” when Megan Fox broached the topic after they separated in 2019, with the actress ultimately filing to end their nine-year union in November 2020, Green has said that he was still blindsided when the end came.
“I honestly felt at that point like, ‘We got this,’” the Beverly Hills, 90210, alum recalled on a May 2025 episode of the Oldish podcast. “We had already been through almost 15 years of a relationship together so I believed it and I think she believed it at the time also.”
But as parents of Noah, 13, Bodhi, 12, and Journey, 9, together, there wasn’t time for anyone to retreat to a corner to lick their respective wounds.
You’ve got to “pick your battles,” Green—who’s also dad to Zane, 4, with fiancée Sharna Burgess and Kassius, 21, with ex Vanessa Marcil—told E! News in 2024, noting that however he was feeling toward his ex-wife at any given moment had to come in a distant second to showing up for their children.
