Brian Austin Green reveals inside details of marriage to ex-wife Megan Fox

Brian Austin Green is opening up about the lessons he learned from his marriage to Megan Fox revealing how their relationship reshaped his approach to love.

Speaking on the I Do, Part 2 podcast the actor said his nearly 15-year relationship with Fox made him realise the importance of building a strong emotional connection before romance.

"Until Sharna, my ex and I were together for almost 15 years. We were married for almost 10 years and I led with physical attraction," Green said.

"First, I'd be physically attracted to somebody and then sort of build a relationship around that."

Following his divorce Green said he sought therapy to better understand himself and avoid repeating past mistakes.

"I was divorced, which I didn't expect. I had three kids. I was a single parent. And I knew that I didn't want to repeat things that I had done," he shared.

The Beverly Hills 90210 star explained that his relationship with fiancée Sharna Burgess developed differently with the pair focusing on friendship, honesty and open communication from the beginning.

"I think when you started from a place of a genuine connection with someone, then you're not so concerned about whether they are truly into you or not," he said adding that they openly discussed both their strengths and flaws early in the relationship.

Green and Fox began dating in 2004 and married in 2010 after years of an on-and-off romance. They finalised their separation in 2020 after multiple attempts to reconcile.

The former couple share three sons Noah, Bodhi and Journey. They continue to co-parent their children following their split.
