Following his 2019 split from ex-wife Megan Fox, Brian Austin Green discovered that a lasting marriage should probably not be built on a foundation of physical attraction.
‘My ex and I were together for almost 15 years,’ the Beverly Hills, 90210 alum – turning 53 this Wednesday – admitted on the I Do, Part 2 podcast last Saturday.
‘We were married for almost 10 years and I led with physical attraction. First, I’d be physically attracted to somebody and then sort of build a relationship around that.’
Green was notoriously 30 years old when he fell in love with the then 18-year-old starlet in 2004 on the Long Island set of their ABC sitcom, Hope & Faith.
‘I liked him right away,’ Fox recalled to the New York Times in 2009.
‘Everyone was around the monitor watching a scene, and Brian accidentally touched my leg. I remember literal electricity shooting through me and out me from every direction. It was like magic.’

The Golden producer-star and the Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 actress split twice, in 2009 and 2015, before their divorce was finalized in 2022 following nine years of marriage.
On August 4, Green and Fox will celebrate the 10th birthday of their youngest child – Journey – and they’re also proud parents of 13-year-old Noah and 12-year-old Bodhi.
The Daily Mail has reached out to the ex-couple’s reps for comment, but did not immediately hear back.
The Tennessee-born bombshell – who covered up her ‘Brian’ pelvis tattoo in 2023 – welcomed 15-month-old daughter Saga with her Midnight in the Switchgrass co-star Machine Gun Kelly, whom she’s been on/off with since March 2020.
In October 2020, Green began dating Sharna Burgess and they competed together on the 30th season of Dancing with the Stars where they came in 13th place.
The Van Nuys native picked a ‘different’ approach to the Australian 41-year-old, whom he made sure to ‘be friends with first’ and ‘transparent’ and share a ‘genuine connection.’
‘For us, it was pretty apparent then like, “Oh, hey, we should stick with us. This seems to be working,”‘ Green said.
‘Your approach to a relationship is the best way to know if it’s just a purely physical connection. That’s only going to last for so long that you’re going to get to a point where you go, “I can’t stand that other person. So they’re not hot to me anymore.”‘
On June 24, the Celebrity Wheel of Fortune contestant and Burgess toured their future wedding location – Adare Manor Hotel – a five-star luxury resort in Limerick, Ireland following three years of engagement.

The inseparable couple share four-year-old son Zane and enjoy co-parenting with his three children with Fox.
‘I know I grieved the concept of missing half the life of my kids. That meant a lot to me. That was a big deal. Then I quickly realized, “Oh man, while they are at their mom’s house, I get a chance to recharge,”‘ Green said.
‘Then when they come back over, I can give them all of my attention. And I’ve spent the four days out of the seven days or whatever it is just taking care of myself and being with my partner that I have now and doing things for me so I don’t have that overwhelmed feeling the same way when my kids come back.’
The Hollywood Hells actor’s prior two-year relationship with Beverly Hills, 90210 co-star Vanessa Marcil deteriorated into a 13-year court battle involving a $200K loan and custody of their 24-year-old son Kassius.
