Brian Austin Green says he “led with physical attraction” in his relationship with Megan Fox. In an episode of I Do, Part 2 published July 11, 2026, he described his former approach to dating as to “be physically attracted to somebody and then sort of build a relationship around that.”
He and Fox spent nearly 15 years together, including almost 10 years of marriage, and had 3 sons.
Speaking generally about a “purely physical connection,” Green described reaching the point where “I can’t stand that other person. So they’re not hot to me anymore.”
Green and Fox met in 2004 on the set of Hope and Faith. Fox was 18 when they began dating, and Green was nearly 13 years older. In January 2026, he said he “had no intention of it being a serious relationship.”
Fox said she’d had to convince him she offered more “besides being 18.” Looking back in March 2024, she said, “I shouldn’t have been involved in that when I was 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23.”
Their marriage included a 2015 divorce filing by Fox, which she dismissed in 2019. Green confirmed their split in May 2020, and their divorce was finalized in February 2022.
In her March 2024 interview, Fox said she “was not a great girlfriend” and that Green “was not great to me either.” She also described “falling in love with other people.”
After their split, Green said he “went through all sorts of therapy” to examine what he “brought into a relationship that was just toxic.” He said his relationship with his fiancée, Sharna Burgess, began as “easy natural friends.”
