In an industry where splits can be ugly and custody battles get drawn out for years and years, Megan Fox and Brian Austin Green are showing everyone divorce can be peaceful, even in Hollywood. The two were together for more than a decade, and their divorce was finalized in 2022. Since then, the two have kept things strikingly mature. They're a celebrity couple that's total divorce goals.
The two share three sons, and they've made it clear that their children's well-being and needs will be prioritized above anything else. And, their actions and public comments they've shared about one another prove they've figured out how to co-parent peacefully.
In late 2023, Green proudly shared on his podcast "Oldish," "I've been incredibly fortunate with Megan ... we co-parent really well together ... when we need to, we communicate really well, we're open to things. We don't take things personally." He also added, "It is my goal, and I think it's her goal as well, that the kids are in as healthy of an environment as they can be in." It's clear he has the utmost respect for the mother of his three children.
Megan Fox proves mutual respect makes a difference when co-parenting
In her own way, Megan Fox has echoed a similar sentiment. While she prefers to keep both her life as a parent and her personal life largely private, she has yet to speak negatively of her ex-husband. When he is mentioned, she's quick to emphasize the importance of mutual respect in co-parenting. Something she and Brian Austin Green have done an excellent job of maintaining for the sake of their children.
During an appearance on Drew Barrymore's "Drew" show to discuss her poetry book "Pretty Boys are Poisonous," Barrymore, who also went through a post-divorce glow-up, couldn't help but ask about Fox's co-parenting arrangement after commenting on how she had seen Green speak so gracefully about his relationship with his ex-wife. In a rare moment, Fox opened up about her ways of co-parenting, just like the time she candidly shared her experience with body dysmorphia.
The actor said she never speaks negatively, even in the most subtle manner, about her children's father. She emphasized, "... if I don't accept and love their father, I'm rejecting a part of them because he's a part of who they are, always. He's in their blood and he's in their psyche, and they exist because of him."
Fox's approach shows so much care and self-awareness in her role as a mother. With a drama-free co-parenting dynamic and solely prioritizing her children's well-being, she sets an example for anyone navigating divorce while co-parenting.
