After figuring out early on how to make co-parenting work, Brian Austin Green said he and Megan Fox remain on "great" terms till this day.
During his appearance on the Inside of You with Michael Rosenbaum podcast, Green explained that there needed to be an understanding, as to how the deteriorated state of their relationship ultimately led to their divorce. The 52-year-old actor said he and Fox needed to move past the expectation that they could become good friends through co-parenting their three children.
"I only care about the health and wellness of my kids," he said. "You’re gonna parent how you do, I’m gonna parent how I do."
Green added, "I wish her the best because she's the mother of three of my kids, and also because I know her so well."
Green started dating Fox, who was 18 years old at the time, in 2004, and got engaged two years later. After calling off their engagement, the two reconciled and tied the knot shortly thereafter in 2010. Green announced their separation after nearly 10 years of marriage and three kids in 2020. Their divorce was finalized the next year.
Fox admitted on the Call Your Daddy podcast last year that she "was not a great girlfriend" to Green, saying she "did a lot of falling in love with other people all the time."
"I was not great. Because I was young and really should not have been in a relationship of that level of commitment and magnitude," she said. "I shouldn't have been involved in that when I was 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23; I shouldn't have been."
Fox said Green "was not great to me either all the time" before refocusing the attention on her shortcomings in their relationship.
Green told Rosenbaum that he and Fox established as they were headed towards a separation that "we can't keep this from affecting our kids, but it's up to us, how we affect our kids."
Green said they could either put their children in the middle of a constant conflict or try and make this new normal for their children a "great situation," which is why the actor insisted he does not speak negatively about Fox.
