Brian Austin Green on His Future With Megan Fox, Her Friendship with Machine Gun Kelly and More Revelations

Telling all. Brian Austin Green did not hold back on the latest episode of his "…With Brian Austin Green" podcast titled "Context." The Beverly Hills, 90210 alum, 46, revealed during the emotional episode that he and wife Megan Fox had officially separated, amid rumors that she was involved with rapper Machine Gun Kelly (real name Colson Baker). "The reality is, we've been together for 15 years and we've been married for 10 and we have three amazing children," the actor explained during his podcast. "There's the sense of loss, of, how do I go on with this big part of my life that I've always known and loved and shared changing? What does that landscape look like? What does that life look like? Megan and I talked a lot about it and it's a big concern for both of us, really both of us." Green also detailed the timeline of their split, which happened toward the end of 2019 after she returned from filming a movie in another city. The Transformers actress, 34, and Kelly, 30, met later when they began filming Midnight in the Switchgrass in March. (Production later halted due to the coronavirus pandemic.) However, Green was sure to point out that there wasn't cheating involved — and didn't want Fox or Kelly to be "vilified." The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles star met the BH90210 actor while on the set of Fox’s sitcom Hope & Faith in 2004. Despite their age difference — he was 30 and she was 18 — the pair were drawn to each other and dated on and off for six years before marrying in June 2010. They share three sons, Noah, 7, Bodhi, 6, and Journey, 3. Green also shares son Kassius, 18, with ex Vanessa Marcil. "People talk s--t about the fact that she's younger than me and all of that, but she's really a responsible person and she really loves the kids and cares about what their life and their experience is," he said during the episode. "We talked about that and we talked about the fact that separation — we can't pretend that it won't affect the kids because it will. But the control we have is HOW it affects the kids."

Abut That Butterfly Post

After Fox was spotted with the rapper, Green wrote a cryptic post via Instagram. “Eventually butterflies get bored sitting on a flower for too long. They start feeling smothered. It’s a great big world and they want to experience it,” he captioned a photo of a butterfly on Saturday, May 16. Many assumed it was a dig at Fox, who has butterfly tattoos, but that wasn't his intention.

"The pictures of Colson and Megan came out yesterday on her birthday — and I put out a post on my Instagram and it wasn't meant to be cryptic in the way that it was read and the way it was received," he revealed on the podcast.

A Dream … or Nightmare Come True

The actor revealed that around Halloween last year when Fox was away filming, he dreamt that when she came back, things were distant and weird.

"Then she got back from being out of the country and working and we were distant. It was almost exactly what I had dreamed," Green said. After a few weeks, he brought it up to her. "I had sent her a text that day saying, 'Hey, I've given you a couple of weeks. I understand if you're jet-lagged and if that's the case and you're tired and recouping and I totally understand that. Should I be concerned about our marriage? If that's not the case.' And she responded back, 'Hey let's talk about it later.' So, right away I was thinking, 'That's not very good.'"

The Split

That night, they discussed how she was feeling. "She said, 'You know what? I realized while I was out of the country working alone that I feel more like myself and I like myself better. I liked myself better during that experience. And I think that might be something worth trying for me,'" he recalled. "I was shocked and I was upset about it, but I can't be upset at her and I wasn't upset at her because she didn't ask to feel that way, it wasn't a choice she made, that's the way she honestly felt. ... We decided, you know what? Let's separate a little bit and give ourselves some time and take some space and meditate and do whatever and see what it is we find. And so we did."

Keeping It Cordial for the Kids

The exes know that their split will also affect their sons. "They have friends that they go to school with [and] the D-word is like this grenade that you throw in a room and most couples that are going through divorce, they're bitter, they hate each other, they resent certain situations, they talk trash about each other," Green said. "There’s no reason for it to be with us. 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 and I will always love her and I know she will always love me. I know that as far as a family, what we’ve built is really cool and it’s really special. So we decided, let’s make sure that we don’t lose that. Let’s make sure that no matter what, we’re always friends with each other and we’re a united front with the kids and we’ll still do family vacations and we’ll do holidays as a family and that kind of stuff."

When They Split

The Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles alum also revealed that the split happened toward the end of 2019. "Since the end of the year, we’ve really been trying to, sort of, be apart and figure out what life is now because it’s a big change for both of us. It’s not something that you go into a marriage considering. I went into a marriage, and Megan did also, thinking ‘OK, we’re getting married. This is a choice for life. This is somebody that I want to share the rest of my life with and have a family with,’" he said. "I think for me, that might have been a bit of a downfall because I think I became just too complacent."

What He Knows About MGK

Although he's never met the Beyond the Lights star, Green said that Fox told him "he’s a really just nice, genuine guy," and he trusts her. "She’s always had really good judgment, and I don’t want people to think that her or he's the villain or I was a victim in any way with any of this because I wasn’t. This isn’t something new for us. This is something new for people to experience and hear about in the press and take sides on and judge and critique, but it’s not new for us," the Anger Management alum said. "I don’t want this guy, Colson, who I’ve never met, who she said nothing but really kind things about, I don’t want him to be vilified because nobody did anything wrong."

Megan and MGK Are Just Friends

The former Freddie star also noted that as far as he knows, the Jennifer's Body star and the "Wild Boy" singer are "good friends at this point," which is what she needed. "Good people step up and help people that need help and that’s what he’s doing and you know, it sucks that pictures were taken and that paps recognized his car cause he’s had it for a while and it’s a pretty f--king recognizable car," he added. "There is no story there. The story is with us and hopefully with this, with me doing this, there is no more story." 

A source exclusively revealed to Us Weekly, however, that the pair have "definitely hooked up" amid their romance rumors. "They started off as friends and their relationship grew from there. Megan thinks MGK is a really cool guy and their relationship turned more romantic."

The Future Is Unsure

As for what's to come, Green isn't sure. "Who knows if this is, if this is the end of the journey? I mean we’ve, we have a lot of life left," he said. "So the paths have sort of gone in separate ways for now. They could come back together, they may not. We don’t know. I don’t know. I don’t want to make any predictions with that because I have no idea."
