Megan Fox And Brian Austin Green Confirm Split

After seeing those photos of Megan Fox hanging out with rapper Machine Gun Kelly and factoring in Brian Austin Green’s recent forlorn Instagram post about a butterfly yearning to be free, it didn’t take a rocket scientist to determine the couple probably isn’t happily quarantining under the same weighted blanket. In a new episode of his podcast 'With Brian Austin Green' released Monday, the Beverly Hills 90210 actor has confirmed their split.

The actor said the couple became more distant when Fox was working out of the country for roughly five weeks shooting a film last year. He explained that since the end of 2019, they had been spending more time apart.

"Neither one of us did anything to each other," he clarified. "She's always been honest with me. I've always been honest with her. We've had an amazing relationship."

“I will always love her,” Green continued on his podcast. “And I know she will always love me and I know as far as a family, what we have built is really cool and really special.” He said the former couple will “still do family vacations and holidays as a family and really make that a focus for the kids.”

Fox, 33, and Green, 46, shared rare family photos last Halloween on Instagram with their sons Noah, 7, Bodhi, 6, and Journey, 3. 

“It sucks when life changes and something that you’re used to, that you’ve been doing for 15 years, you try and not get rid of but you change. There’s the unknown aspect … there’s that pit in my stomach," Green said, getting choked up. "I really don’t want Megan and I to be at odds. … She’s been my best friend for 15 years and I don’t want to lose that.”

How will the couple handle a new normal?

"Megan and I talked a lot about it, and a big concern for both of us … people talk (expletive) about the fact that she's younger than me and all that, but she's really a responsible person, and she really loves the kids and cares about what their life and their experience is." 

Rumours about the couple's split surfaced after Fox was recently photographed in a car with Machine Gun Kelly, her co-star in the upcoming film "Midnight In the Switchgrass." Green spoke about Kelly, saying he's never met him. "Megan and I have talked about him," he said. "They’re friends at this point. … I don’t want people to think her or he are villains or that I was a victim in any way.”
