Brian Austin Green, known for his roles in Beverly Hills, 90210, and Transformers, recently shed light on his co-parenting journey with ex-wife Megan Fox. In a series of interviews conducted on April 13, at Steel City Comic Con, Green articulated his approach to co-parenting with Fox.

Green highlighted the inevitability of the separation affecting their children, stating
"People make a mistake of thinking that they're gonna do things so the separation doesn't affect the kids, and that's—of course, it's gonna affect the kids"
This candid revelation offers insights into the actor's commitment to navigating the complexities of post-divorce parenting.

Green delved deeper into the dynamics of co-parenting, as he elaborated on changes he and Megan Fox experienced raising their kids post their separation. Their kids Noah Shannon is 11 years old, Bodhi Ransom is 10 years old, and Journey River is seven. His current partner is Sharna Burgess, with whom he shares a son, Zane.
During the interview with the E! New,s Brian Austin Green mentioned that one of the major tips is to make sure that everything is centered around the experience of the kids. He further continued that separation does affect the kids and the only choice is to understand how it affects them.
Post the separation, Green focuses on the necessity of accepting the reasons behind the split and emphasizing solely co-parenting. Further in the interview he also emphasized the need to pick your battles as a parent. He remarked:
"So, you can't expect to then get along after the fact in raising your kids. So, you have to decide, ‘OK, it's not about us getting along anymore. It's about us co-parenting, which is a totally different situation."
Brian Austin Green and Megan Fox have been consistently open about their co-parenting association between them. While they don't always agree, she has stated that she tries to avoid negativity for the sake of the children.
During an appearance on The Drew Barrymore Show in November 2023, she stated,
"I think it's really important when people separate to never ever disparage the other parent or even in a passive aggressive way, make remarks."
Furthermore, she explained that she does not let anything in her energy when she is with her children, because if she doesn't accept and love their father, it is a rejection of a part of them since he's always a part of who they are.
According to People magazine, in October 2022, Brian Austin Green maintained his and his ex-wife's positive chemistry, characterizing their approach to E! News as going "really well." During the interview, he emphasized that they
"Don't fight over time with the kids... (and) try to alternate holidays between Christmas Day and Christmas Eve."
Megan Fox filed for divorce from Brian Austin Green in 2015, but they reconciled shortly after. Five years later, the actress filed for divorce a second time, and in 2022, they struck an agreement that included joint custody of their children. Green shares another son named Kassius, 22, with his ex, Vanessa Marcil.
