Megan Fox revealed that her marriage to Brian Austin Green had been ‘unfulfilling’ and admitted to ‘falling in love with other people’ during the course of their long-term relationship.
The Transformers actress, 37 – who confirmed the end of her engagement to Machine Gun Kelly – got candid about the former couple’s union in the latest episode of the Call Her Daddy podcast on Tuesday.
The star tied the knot with the Beverly Hills, 90210 actor, 50, in 2010 until their separation in 2020. Their divorce was finalized in 2021 and the pair share three children: Noah, 11, Bodhi, 10 and Journey, seven.
‘First of all, let me just say, I was not a great girlfriend to Brian. I’ll be very honest,’ Fox admitted to host, Alex Cooper.
‘And he was not great to me either all the time, but I think it would be easy for me to lean into and complain about or let it seem like that relationship was one way. Maybe I was not great.’

Megan further explained, ‘Because I was young and really should not have been in a relationship of that level of commitment and magnitude.’
Both Fox and Green began dating in 2004, when the actress was around 18-years-old and the actor was 31.
‘I shouldn’t have been involved in that when I was 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23. I shouldn’t have been.’
The Jennifer’s Body star then recalled that she, ‘did a lot of, like, falling in love with other people all the time.’
‘I would go to work and fall in love because I was a kid. And, yeah, I never had the full freedom to be single and experience that life…’
The mother-of-three continued, ‘And I thought for a minute when I got divorced that that’s what I was gonna do, and I was single for like three weeks.’
Earlier this year on his own podcast called …With Brian Austin Green, the actor additionally reflected on first dating Megan when she was only 18.
‘She didn’t get to experience being a single, young woman at the top of her fucking game,’ he explained, while adding, ‘She was really starting to feel the weight of it.’

Following the separation, Brian has since moved on with Dancing With The Stars pro, Sharna Burgess.
The two began dating in 2020 and welcomed their first child together in June 2022, followed by their engagement last year in September. He also has another son with ex Vanessa Marcil.
Fox also started dating rapper Machine Gun Kelly in 2020 and the pair went public with the budding romance later that summer.
However, despite becoming engaged in January 2022, the actress also revealed on the Call Her Daddy podcast that the engagement has ended after a rather turbulent year between the two.
And while she did give the update about the engagement, she did not confirm the status of their current relationship.
‘I feel like everyone has such an opinion on your guys relationship. You got engaged, then I think it was called off, then we don’t know what’s going on with you. How would you describe your relationship with MGK?’ Alex Cooper asked.
Megan responded, ‘I think that what I’ve learned from being in this relationship is that it’s not for public consumption, so I think as of now, I don’t have a comment on like the status of the relationship per say.’
‘What I can say is that is what I refer to as being my twin soul and there will always be a tether to him no matter what. I can’t say for sure what the capacity will be, but I will always be connected to him somehow.’
‘Beyond that I’m not willing to explain. But all those things you said were accurate things that have occurred and I can see them being confusing or interesting to people and them being like, “What’s up?”‘

However, despite becoming engaged in January 2022, the actress also revealed on the Call Her Daddy podcast that the engagement has ended after a rather turbulent year between the two; seen in February 2023 in L.A.
Megan and MGK met on the set of Midnight In The Switchgrass back in 2020 and began dating that year.
They never shied their affection for one another in public, often putting on PDA-packed displays wherever they went.
In 2022 they became engaged, and when announcing their betrothal on Instagram, Megan said she and MGK ‘drank each other’s blood’ to celebrate the occasion.
But just over a year later, Megan sensationally hinted she had split from MGK as she shared a cryptic Instagram post before completely deleting her account.
The actress posted a video in which she appeared to burn a letter in a bonfire, along with a bag.
She also uploaded a very raunchy string of mirror selfies while joined by a male pal, in which she put on a busty display in a plunging black top and cut-out trousers.
Fox then removed all traces of Machine Gun Kelly from her Instagram grid, having unfollowed him before deleting her account altogether.
Ultimately they seemed to patch things up and things appear to be all well between them now, with the couple recently seen going on a getaway to Mexico together.
‘What I can say is that is what I refer to as being my twin soul and there will always be a tether to him no matter what. I can’t say for sure what the capacity will be, but I will always be connected to him somehow,’ she said

The rapper also recently tattooed his entire upper body in black ink, reportedly to prove to Megan that he is 100% committed to their relationship.
Fox also prioritizes raising her three children and co-parenting with ex, Brian. His fiancee, Sharna, discussed the topic last year on the Whine Down With Jana Kramer podcast.
‘And [Megan’s] very much a part of our life, and we’ll always be connected because of the kids.’
‘So we are all family. So there’s no bad feelings there to be like that cannot be in this house,’ the dancer added.
In Tuesday’s episode of the Call Her Daddy podcast, Megan admitted that she ‘loses a lot of sleep’ when it comes to her children being in the public eye, and said, ‘I know one of them is going to be in the public, probably all three of them.’

‘They’re drop-dead gorgeous kids and both of their parents are actors in the industry so it’s likely they’re going to have some type of public platform at a certain point. I worry about that every day.’
She then revealed her children were not ‘raised with screens, and they don’t have iPads or anything like that or phones.’
‘I can’t keep that up forever, eventually, that will happen, I’m trying to delay it as long as possible, but when they get a little bit older.’
‘It’s still too early and I don’t want to put the weight of my experience on them. I want them to have their own experience and I don’t want to pre-load it by being like, “This is all the suffering that Mommy’s been through.”‘
