Exes Brian Austin Green and Megan Fox seem to have found their rhythm when it comes to co-parenting.
The pair, who finalized their divorce in 2021 after eleven years of marriage, have maintained a smooth, amicable setup for their three sons. Fox also welcomed a daughter in June with her on-again, off-again partner, MGK.
“Megan and I are great. Megan gets along with my fiancée now, Sharna [Burgess], amazingly,” Green shared on the November 25 episode of the podcast Inside of You with Michael Rosenbaum, around the 50-minute mark. “We just co-parent well. We kind of stay out of each other’s way. And I realized early on, people separate for a reason.”
He continued, “We’re not going to all of a sudden just be great friends as we’re co-parenting. We stopped being together because we didn’t get along as well as we did when we first did. So let’s take that expectation out of it and just resign to the fact that, ‘Listen, I only care about the health and wellness of my kids.'”
“You’re going to parent how you do. I’m going to parent how I do,” Green said. “I wish her the best because she’s the mother of three of my kids. And also because I know her so well. I mean, we started dating [when] she was 18 years old. We were together for fifteen years. So, I know her really, really well.”
He also explained that while their breakup inevitably affected their kids, he and Fox were intentional about how that impact would play out.
“It sucks for kids when the parents separate and all that, and it’s two houses, but you either make it a great situation where they go, ‘Oh my god, we get two of everything now. This is unbelievable’; or you make it like each side talking shit about the other parent. There’s none of that. Never,” Green said.
Last year, Green opened up about how the cracks in their marriage began to show, sharing that Fox had started to get irritated by even the smallest things he did.
“You kinda get to that point where you’re like, ‘God, just the way you’re shuffling your feet right now, the way you’re putting that toast in the toaster is just driving [me] crazy.’ It’s all that stupid little stuff, you know,” he said on the podcast misSpelling, hosted by his former Beverly Hills, 90210 co-star Tori Spelling. “That, to me, is when you have to make the choice of going, okay, we’re either gonna go into therapy and we’re gonna try and find our connection and figure out what’s going on now, or these things are gonna sink us. They’re going to be the death of us. Because they just build up and build up and get worse and worse.”
