Ex-spouses Brian Austin Green and Megan Fox have gotten the hang of co-parenting.
The former couple divorced in 2021 after eleven years of marriage, but Green shared on the November 25 episode of the podcast Inside of You with Michael Rosenbaum that they've maintained an amicable co-parenting relationship for their three sons. In June, Fox welcomed a daughter with her on-again-off-again partner, MGK.
"Megan and I are great. Megan gets along with my fiancée now, Sharna [Burgess], amazingly," the actor said around the 50-minute mark of the video below. "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."
"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," Green continued. "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 my 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."
Elsewhere, Green explained that while he and Fox couldn't prevent their breakup from impacting their children, they decided on exactly what the effects would be.
"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 shared.
Last year, Green said that the breakdown in their marriage was partly caused by Fox beginning to show annoyance with him.
"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," Green said on the podcast misSpelling, hosted by his former Beverly Hills, 90210 cast mate 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."
