Brian Austin Green on Megan Fox: "Crushed" Following Split Confession
Shattered Remains Scattered Post-Split-Up - "Ruined in a Ground Attack"
Hey there! Buckle up, folks, as we dive into the heartbreaking tale of Brian Austin Green (51) and Megan Fox (38), the dynamic duo from our beloved "Beverly Hills, 90210" and "Transformers" fame. Four years post their 2021 divorce, Green shares his feelings about the split that left him feeling "crushed."
It turns out, the former teen idol was blindsided when his once-wife, the mother of his three children (Noah, 12; Bodhi, 11; Journey, 8), filed for divorce in 2020. After over a decade together, Green confessed on the "Oldish" podcast, "I was crushed." "I thought we had this... I genuinely believed we’d make it work," he shared, expressing his shock and disappointment.
Green claimed that the actress, who was just 18 when they started dating, felt trapped in the family structure, leading to the divorce. "It was too much," he recounted. "But when she decided to leave, she did it quickly, and that’s what hurt me the most." Despite understanding her perspective, the pain lingered. "I see it, I understand it – but the sting is still there," he admitted.
Stirrings of Jealousy
The 51-year-old actor has a son with his fiancée, professional dancer Sharna Burgess (39), but it was difficult to see his former flame move on so swiftly with rapper Machine Gun Kelly (35). The couple began dating in summer 2020, broke up in November 2024 during her pregnancy, and welcomed a daughter in March 2025. "One minute it was 'I want a divorce,' next minute it’s 'my soulmate.' It’s tough, and at times I feel a pang of….jealousy, I guess," Green admitted.
His coping mechanism? Time. "As cliché as it sounds, time does heal."
