Megan Fox is either a mess or a genius. Which do you think? The argument for “Megan is a mess” is that she’s pregnant with a whoopsie-baby and now her planned divorce to Brian Austin Green has been thrown into a chaotic limbo. The argument for “Megan is a genius” is that this might have been her plan all along, like Megan believes in The Jennifer Garner Method of Divorcing, which is all about keeping up appearances and confusing the sh-t out of your children. Granted, it’s not Megan’s job to tell us the intricacies of her plans for her marriage/divorce, but from the information *someone* is putting out there, the whole thing does sound… messy.
Megan Fox is pregnant and estranged husband Brian Austin Green is the father, we’ve learned … but we’ve also learned she has no plans to drop her divorce. Sources connected to the couple tell us the pregnancy just kinda happened … it wasn’t planned. As we reported, Megan and Brian have been close even after she filed her legal docs last August … and now we know just how close.
There would be big consequences by pulling the divorce. Megan’s the breadwinner, so all the money she’s earned since her separation is hers, including the loot for her latest ‘Ninja Turtles’ flick. 86ing the divorce would change all that. There are also consequences by not withdrawing the divorce petition. Brian will almost certainly be entitled to more child support for the 2 and soon-to-be 3 kids.
So this is all about money? She’s hellbent on going through with the divorce because that’s the best way to protect her assets, and she doesn’t want to give him half of her assets… but she still got pregnant, because they’re still sleeping together. And oh yeah, they’re still living together too.
More than friends but less than lovers? Us Weekly confirmed on Tuesday, April 12, that Megan Fox and Brian Austin Green are expecting their third child together, despite the fact that the pair announced their decision to divorce last August after five years of marriage. But the former couple is currently renting a house together in L.A.’s Bel Air neighborhood a source tells Us, explaining that the exes are keeping things friendly.
“It’s a small, unassuming house, but it’s private and has great views,” the insider tells Us. “They are living together … They do their day-to-day stuff like grocery shopping and taking their kids out together.”
Another source tells Us the two are not getting back together.
Megan Fox is Jennifer-Garnering better than Jennifer Garner. Garner would have LOVED to have a whoopsie pregnancy to add to the ongoing drama with Ben Affleck. So, let’s go down the list – Megan and BAG are still living together, sleeping together, raising their children together and committed to bringing a third baby into the world. But they’re totally going through with the divorce. Because money.

so they are living together and obviously have slept together, but they are still getting divorced?
Honestly, the only smart decision she is making here is to proceed with the divorce. He has already made it clear that he would take her to the cleaners in a heartbeat and who knows how long before she is past the actress shelf life. She needs to protect her money. Of course she should dump him but since thats not happening, this is the next best thing.
Agree Naya.
I pride myself on being open minded, but even this is strange to me.
+1
+2
Agreed. Trying to figure this out. So basically they’re totally incompatible, but there’s still attraction and they had a slip up once? Or they sleep together regularly? Or what?
I think our models for divorce are going to change. They are changing. And I hate to say it, but I think “conscious uncoupling” might’ve been a moment.
To think people thought Andrew and Fergie’s divorce was strange.
They are getting divorced for financial reasons not relationship ones. BAG has medical bills and zero income coming in I think she’s protecting her assets.
I think it’s a financial divorce too.
Surely he gets some royalties from his old projects still? Granted, it’s probably not a lot.
so (if this is true) he’s good enough to keep available as a sperm donor, but helping with medical bills is a bridge too far? Nice.
Yep. It seems to me that they are making sure she can’t be sued for his bills. Or that he wants to sue for bigger damages ( Weren’t his injuries work related ?), seeing how he won’t have access to her money and then be in a more “dire” situation.
Isn’t it confusing for her two younger kids? I mean they probably explained to them they’re divorcing/separating but dad still lives at home & now they’re having another sibling.
As for Megan Fox & this whole mess, girl you better protect your money. Idk if he has anything going on for him right now acting wise but he sure isn’t getting any scripts delivered at home.
Her two younger kids are way too young to even get this- from their toddler perspective, they live with mom & dad. The intricacies of their legal situation go over the heads of children that small.
What the Sh!t is this… I just don’t even know what to say, this is bizarre cause I assumed oh well the divorce is off.. but it isn’t? is this for taxes or some sh!t .. im just so very confused
For some couples, the sexual chemistry dies long after the rest. In combination with low impulse control and maybe alcohol, well…
Will he stay with her once the divorce is final? It kind of sounds like she’s keeping him around for a booty call!
Bizarre.
That was my first thought too.
More than friends and less than lovers. Wonder how that child will feel. He can father her three children, but don’t you dare touch my money. Hollyweird at its finest.
BAG must be awesome in the sack. Is there a DR on this guy?
The crazy thing is that a judge could actually deny them the divorce over something like this. People don’t realize that a judge has full ability to deny a divorce petition if they think it’s in bad faith or no longer necessary. A judge could look at them and say, “You are clearly still living in a marital way, so why should I give you a divorce?” It’s super rare, but it does happen.
This makes me think that maybe this divorce has a lot more to do with money or other issues than “not being in love anymore.”
^ THIS
A couple in dire financial straits may co-habitat while divorcing, but living together … AND sleeping together … AND getting pregnant … AND shopping together … and and and …
She is likely to be unpleasantly surprised at the judge’s response to this. What a waste of time and effort – and legal fees.
But doesn’t another baby give him even more claim to her money? As the stay at home parent, he’s gonna get fat child & spousal support, in addition to half her assets. All from marrying a beautiful teenager and living off her income. Who’s the genius?
I think they are protecting her assets from whatever suits he maybe liable for due to medical bills etc.
I imagine they have medical insurance for his medical bills. But I don’t think he’s at fault in the accident. Isn’t he suing? So he would come away with a settlement eventually. Also, if he is getting medical treatment during this period, he could have a letter of protection signed by the doctors who are treating him waiting for a settlement to occur and then be paid out of the settlement proceeds.
Even so, if he’s the primary caretaker for three young children, he’ll be getting a big chunk. IDK maybe she really loves children and desperately wanted a third before their split, but she just tacked additional years onto her financial obligation to him.
reading this story developing, it’s like some alternate reality lukewarm adventure thriller in an apartment setting. sort of like A “Meg & BAG not so awesome marital adventures”
Celebrities – They’re just like us! …. not.
hah! I was thinking the same thing.
Didn’t like him on 90210 but damn he aged well.
Can’t she just be a moron? I’m not saying that to be snippy. I’m really asking. Like, maybe she thinks a judge will go for this but that’s not going to happen.
Have to agree – I’ve always liked Megan, but this is … yeah, she looks like a moron.
This situation is ridiculous. A divorce to clarify their finances so that her income is no longer community property? Ok. It is what it is. Carry on.
Protecting assets seems very complicated.
Wouldn’t it have been easier to protect her vagina?
I get bad vibes from this relationship and new pregnancy. There are rumors galore that BAG is controlling, and getting her pregnant when she’s trying to divorce him seems like a good way to keep her under his thumb.
I agree but I think she is also trying to keep his controlling behavior in check by continuing with the divorce. Maybe his attitude changed towards her when she filed and she’s not willing to withdraw the divorce because she’s afraid he’s going back to being a jerk again.
Yeah, I thought the same thing, especially since she’s had three unplanned pregnancies. I would not be surprised if he sabotaged any birth control she/they were using.
Glad she’s still going through with the divorce.
I’m confused. Are the kids staying with him after the divorce? Otherwise why would she need to pay him child support?
Shared custody, 50/50, and she is the breadwinner. So she would pay him child support for the period of time he has them. He was also asking for spousal support in the divorce documents.
The only way this makes sense is if BAG is going to be sued at some point soon and they want to protect her assets (which is considered bad faith and may not even work) or if she genuinely thinks the marriage is dead and wants to get away from him. Would his medical bills due to vertigo really be significant enough to warrant divorcing?
If this is all just for financial and legal reasons, wouldn’t they have already been divorced by now? I just looked it up, they listed June 2015 as the separation, so with the 6 months waiting they would have been done in December or January.
I really don’t understand this situation.
The divorce will go through. If he can’t show the judge that he is trying or at least putting the effort in to make the salary he is capable of then it’s obvious to the judge that she is being taken advantage.
He might not be able to get jobs right now. His vertigo sounds severe but he also likely has good days and bad days. There would be serious limits on what he could promise to do and production companies may be concerned about lost production time and their own liability if he is injured due to loss of balance.
@fwozbo – She can’t show the judge they are living separate lives or have stopped having sex and babies.
(Since when is “you’re not working as much as you could” grounds for a divorce??)
I don’t get it. You like someone well enough to share the same home, raise two kids together, have another child together, but you don’t want to give him any money after he’s in a debilitating car accident? That just seems really cold.
If the genders were reversed there’d be outcry over a man divorcing his injured wife to protect his marital assets.
I was totally going to write this….
Messy. lol
Re Garner tho… her third baby was her whoopsee. And it still didn’t work. It never works. As for Megan and BAG, maybe something else is up. I do know that my bff were divorcing and did the same. Lived in the same house and slept together until the ink was dry and assets split because they didn’t hate each other but grew apart. I thought it was weird but its not uncommon. Wasn’t the reason for this divorce is BAG wanted her to stay home more and she wanted to go out to work? And why exactly can’t he work lol. Go get a job BAG, you’ve lived off your looks and 90210 money long enough. Support your 3 kids.
It’s four now.
My guess: they divorce has been called off, but she hasn’t announced it yet because it’s leverage over Brian to keep him in line. If they filed last August and really wanted it to be over, they would be divorced by now. I am sure there will be a statement out some time soon saying they’re working on the marriage and are staying together.
Oh Jennifer Garner’s third kid was the whoops pregnancy. The rumors of a separation, spending no time together, he was cheating etc were STRONG and then boom, she got pregnant. It keep Ben around for awhile but as you can see, not forever. Never does. I’m guessing that’s why he hasn’t so much as touched her in what? A year now? He doesn’t trust her.
Gwen’s kid too.
Whatever the real reasons behind the pregnancy and divorce, what fresh everlasting hell did Megan do to her face? I know it’s been discussed and discussed some more, but geez. I realize it’s Hollywood, everyone gets something done, blah, blah, but if you Google pictures of her circa 2007 (around Transformers’ time frame), she looks totally different. I’m not buying that she’s gotten older, or that pregnancy makes you look different, etc. She has had some WORK done.
Nowadays there are plenty of ways to make sure a pregnancy doesn’t “just kinda happen” unless you want it to happen. (With exceptions of course.)
Well…if they’re co-parenting really well, and splitting up but staying friends, then a whoopsie baby wouldn’t necessarily change the situation.
Getting pregnant via your soon-to-be ex is a little strange, but maybe it was an attempted reconciliation that didn’t end up working out?
There’s some very sketchy stuff going on with these two. The legal wrangling and their current living arrangements are very strange.
