Megan Fox’s ex-husband Brian Austin Green has revealed the point he realised their marriage was over for good.
The Jennifer’s Body star, 38, is currently in a relationship with rapper Machine Gun Kelly, however before the pair were making headlines for allegedly drinking each other’s blood, Fox was married to Beverly Hills, 90210 actor Green, 51.

Fox and Green first met in 2004 while on set of US sitcom Hope & Faith, before going on to tie the knot in 2010. The couple would go on to welcome three children together, during their marriage – however the union wasn’t without its ups and downs.
Fox would initially file for divorce from Green in 2015, before reuniting a year later after revealing they were expecting their third child together. The resurrected marriage would not last for long though, as Green confirmed in May 2020 that the couple had gone their separate ways, following Fox’s work on crime thriller movie Midnight in the Switchgrass.
The pair would finalise their divorce in 2021, 11 years after they originally tied the knot.
Green explained in his podcast at the time that he and Fox had discussed their marriage after she returned home from filming, revealing that she returned home from filming and told him: “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.”

Recalling his reaction to her words, he added: “I was shocked and I was upset about it but I can’t be 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.”
The actor also clarified their relationship did not end due to cheating, following speculation about Fox and MGK’s relationship beginnings.
Green has now revealed the exact moment he realised their marriage was over during a chat with his former 90210 co-star Tori Spelling on her misSPELLING podcast.
“Everything was annoying her, which happens in relationships. I get it,” Green recalled.
“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 you crazy. It’s all that stupid little stuff, you know.”

He then went on to explain that this was the moment he realised they needed to ‘make a choice’ regarding the future of their relationship, in regards to working on the issues or letting them ‘sink us’.
Following the split, Green has since moved on with Dancing with the Stars professional Sharna Burgess, welcoming a son together in 2022 before getting engaged a year later.
