Brian Austin Green has once again found his past relationship with Megan Fox under the spotlight, after comments about their nearly 15-year relationship sparked a fresh debate online.
The former couple have been divorced for several years, but their relationship continues to attract attention because of their long history, three children and the public conversations both have had about their time together. A recent Reddit discussion focused on comments attributed to Green about his former marriage, with some users questioning the way the relationship was being discussed years after the couple separated.
Brian Austin Green Reflects on His Marriage to Megan Fox
Green and Fox first met while working on the sitcom Hope & Faith in 2004. Fox was 18 at the time, while Green was 30. The pair became engaged in 2006, called off the engagement in 2009, and later reunited. They married in Hawaii in June 2010 and went on to have three sons: Noah, Bodhi and Journey.
Their relationship went through several public ups and downs. Fox filed for divorce in 2015, but the couple reconciled and the divorce case was later dismissed. Green confirmed that they had separated again in May 2020, and their divorce was ultimately finalised in 2022.
Green has previously described their time together as a significant chapter of his life rather than simply a failed marriage. In 2020, he referred to it as an 'amazing 15-year relationship' and said they had shared a great deal together.
What Green Has Said About The Relationship
More recently, Green has taken a reflective approach when discussing his marriage to Fox. During a July 2026 appearance on the I Do, Part 2 podcast, he said that he and his ex had been together for almost 15 years and married for almost 10. He also acknowledged that he had approached the relationship by putting physical attraction first and building the relationship around it.
Green said the end of the marriage prompted him to look more closely at his own behaviour and relationship patterns. He discussed turning to therapy after the divorce and becoming more interested in establishing friendship and genuine connection before romance.
Fresh Debate Over Their Marriage
The Reddit post in question generated a substantial reaction, with many commenters focusing less on the alleged infidelity and more on the circumstances surrounding the beginning of Green and Fox's relationship.
Some users pointed to the couple's age difference when they first met, while others questioned why Green's past relationship was being discussed publicly years after their divorce. The discussion included comments questioning whether remarks attributed to Green were definitely about Fox.
There is also a documented history of Green and Fox publicly addressing their relationship and co-parenting arrangements. In 2024, Green told E! News that the priority when co-parenting was keeping the children's experience at the centre of their decisions. Fox has similarly spoken about avoiding disparaging the other parent around their children.
The Former Couple Continue To Share a Family Connection
Whatever happened during their marriage, Green and Fox remain connected through their three sons. Green has since moved on romantically and is engaged to Sharna Burgess, with whom he shares a child. Fox, meanwhile, has continued her own career and family life following the divorce.
The renewed discussion ultimately says as much about the public's continued interest in the former couple as it does about Green's comments themselves.
