Brian, Megan call it quits after 10 years
Actor revealed that they simply grew distant at the end of last year
Actors Brian Austin Green and Megan Fox are going their separate ways after 10 years of marriage.
The 46-year-old Green, on Monday announced the news during an episode of his podcast With Brian Austin Green where he emotionally opened up about the break-up with Fox. The Beverly Hills 90210 star revealed that they simply grew distant at the end of last year while Fox was away shooting a film.
Green recalled Fox saying during the conversation they had after she returned from filming, “She said, ‘I realised when I was out of the country working alone that I feel more like myself, and I liked myself better during that experience and I think that might be something worth trying for me.’”
Though feeling “shocked” and “upset” at first, Green admitted that he couldn’t be upset with her for being honest. He said, “Neither one of us did anything to each other. 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. And I know she will always love me and I know as far as a family what we have built is really special.”
The Impact Point star shared that they intend to “still do family vacations and holidays as a family and really make that a focus for the kids.”
Green went on to say that it’s hard to adjust to the change and he doesn’t want himself and Fox to “be at odds”: “She’s been my best friend for 15 years and I don’t want to lose that.”
