Brian Austin Green Breaks Down Lessons From 15-Year Megan Fox Relationship

Brian Austin Green opened up about what his 15-year relationship with Megan Fox taught him about approaching future connections. On the "I Do, Part 2" podcast, Green said he led with physical attraction in his relationship with Fox, but after his divorce, he went through therapy to understand his toxic patterns. He realized he needed to "be friends with someone first" before pursuing a romantic relationship. Green adopted this new approach with his now-fiancée, Sharna Burgess, with whom he discussed their best and worst qualities upfront. He explained that building a genuine connection first allows for transparent communication, unlike a purely physical connection which only lasts so long. Green also spoke about co-parenting with Fox, noting that he grieved missing half of his kids' lives but later appreciated the time to recharge when they are with their mother.
