Brian Austin Green shares catalyst moment that ended his marriage to Megan Fox

Is there one specific thing about your partner that annoys so much you’ve considered separating, or even went ahead calling it quits?

Brian Austin Green has opened up about the exact moment his marriage to Megan Fox ended.

The Beverly Hills, 90210 actor, 51, and the Jennifer’s Body star, 38, were married for a decade. They were first linked in 2004 and tied the knot in 2010, they separated in 2020.

Together they share three children; sons Noah, 10, Bodhi, nine, and Journey, six.

Now, Green has revealed the moment that ended their marriage and it might make you think twice before you demolish your plate of food.

During a chat with his former Beverly Hills, 90210 co-star Tori Spelling on her podcast, Green said Fox hated the way he chewed.

They even had a conversation about it, but Green said it was a sign that they were no longer in sync.

“I honestly think the chewing thing, she’d gotten to the point where things weren’t great, so I think everything was annoying her,” the actor shared during the 29 October episode of misSPELLING.

You kind of get to the 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’s just driving me crazy.’ It’s all that stupid little stuff.”

Looking back, Green believes it’s these moments that can make or break a couple.

“That to me is when you either have to make the choice to say, ‘OK, we’re going to go into therapy, and we’re gonna try to find our connection and we’re gonna try to find what’s going on now, or these things are going to sink us',” he shared.

“They’re going to be the death of us. Because they just build up and build up and get worse and worse.”

Both Green and Fox have moved on with new partners: Fox has an on-again, off-again romance with rapper Machine Gun Kelly, and Green got engaged to Sharna Burgess in 2023.

It was announced earlier this year that 34-year-old MGK and Fox had called off their wedding plans. They current relationship status is unknown.

The pair first met on the set of Midnight in the Switchgrass in 2020, where Megan was starring as protagonist Rebecca Lombardo. Hopefully chewing didn't cause another relationship to come to an end...
