Brian Austin Green does not seem to be taking the dissolution of his marriage to Megan Fox well. After initially claiming peace and unity with his estranged wife, he seems to be acting out a bit. His latest grumbling is about Megan’s IG official paramour, Machine Gun Kelly. Whereas Brian was initially okay with the pair, he seems to have changed his tune.
Brian Austin Green has been letting his discontent with estranged wife Megan Fox be more known.
The former 90210 star recently posted an Instagram slideshow of his sons with the same caption Fox used for a photo of new flame Machine Gun Kelly: “My heart is yours.” As a source tells PEOPLE in this week’s issue, his behavior has to do with how he feels about her moving on so quickly — and publicly.
“Brian is annoyed that she is so focused on her relationship with Machine Gun Kelly,” the source says. “He doesn’t understand the need to post social media pictures with silly captions to proclaim her love for him. They aren’t even divorced yet.”
“It definitely annoys Brian. And it stings a bit too that Megan moved on so quickly,” the source continues. “Megan was always very private, so Brian just doesn’t get what changed.”
In a recent podcast appearance, Green opened up about how he’s handling the high-profile relationship.
“You can if you ignore it and avoid it which is what I try and do,” he said of the pictures and reports of Fox and Kelly out and about. “I try to not read anything or look at anything and not involve myself in it. Just keep my head down and do what I do and focus on the kids. I know she’s going to do the same thing.”
“I try to not read anything or look at anything and not involve myself in it,”. Posting digs implying Megan is ignoring her kids and talking to People about how annoyed you are is the very definition of involving yourself. I get his feelings are hurt and he has a point that Megan did not showcase their relationship like she’s doing with Kelly, which would also sting. But after the rumors about Brian controlling Megan during their relationship it’s hard not to read this wotj skepticism.
Brian has been trying to debut his own rebound relationshipt but none of them are working out. A few weeks back there was a very bizarre story about Brian having lunch with Courtney Stodden. When people made, “ew, gross” faces about him pursuing yet another very young and vulnerable young woman, Brian claimed he didn’t know who she was and that it was all her doing, using him for his fame. At the time of that lunch date, Brian was reportedly in a relationship with Tina Louise (the Australian Maxim model, not Ginger of Gilligan’s Island), which has also since ended. Recently Brian was photographed having lunch with Jane Seymour’s former stepdaughter, Jennifer Flynn. Supposedly, Brian and Jennifer are starting a cyber-crimes company, which, if true, is kind of cool, but this innocuous lunch they had to discuss it resulted in so many photos. That smells of someone tipping off the paps. I don’t know what Brian hopes to gain from all this. If he’s trying to show Megan and Kelly up, he’s falling on his face. He’d be better of sticking to his original plan of not paying attention to any of it.

I love Meghan and MGK together. I would not mind if they invited me over for some relaxing times *wink wink* …
Meghan is with the young rapper and hipster while BAG is the tired wannabe middle aged male. It’s a flip script where the woman traded in the older model for the younger one. Loving this.
What is even funny is that BAG is hugely into rap and Hip Hop and is probably the guy who introduced Megan to MGK’s music in the first place
He got with her when she was really young and was used to her always coming back, but she finally got out of that cycle and he is pissed! BAG, she is not yours anymore, move on, stop acting childish and don’t use the kids for your pettiness.
I always got an abusive and controlling vibe of this relationship. I’m so glad she is no longer with him. I hope she is allowed to stay away.
I didn’t want to say it this specifically, but I agree. Definitely control issues seem to play a part here.
@Ronaldinhio
Live in their neighborhood. They’ve done a lot of fundraising for the local school, etc. and my kid knew their kid blah blah. The vibe and what I have seen and heard has always been THIS. I’m glad she’s free of him. He’s very full of himself.
She was 18 when they went “official”, he was in his thirties. When you enter into a relationship with someone who could be the same age as your child they do what kids always do, grow up and move out of the house. He is just salty that he has lost his grip on her and that he was side-eyed for trying whatever that was with Courtney Stodden, another vulnerable woman that was abused by an older man previously.
Yuuuup. He’s mad because the only play in his playbook is being called out for what it is – creepy af and borderline if not actual grooming.
I think she was probably baiting him by posting that IG picture with the caption. He shouldn’t have taken the bait. He would have everyone’s sympathy if he just laid low because she’s coming off as performative and publicity hungry.
But isn’t this like saying someone is “flaunting” something when they’re just living?
They split up, they appear to have both moved on to other people. She’s not allowed to post a picture of herself with her boyfriend without it being considered “baiting” him?
There is something about BAG I find really…icky.
I say moving on to MGK is a move UP from BAG.
Go Meg, enjoy a bit of fun.
He needs to grow up. This is really immature of him, considering the power imbalance in the culture when it comes to this issue. He’s trying to get the misogynists on his side against his ex, and as disturbing as MRAs and their enablers get with women on issues like this, that’s just gross and petty. As a man, his dating 2 or 3 women quickly won’t make him a target for the same kind of abuse. This possessive brand of ‘morality’ really shouldn’t be enabled. She’s not obligated to hide her boyfriend because of his ego.
This guy was how old again when he got with her? he should just shut up………..
BAG seems under the impression he could control Megan forever. I’m glad she got away from him. His jealousy and childishness is alarming.
My spouse and I are splitting up. After a particularly rough week, I said I’d had enough and spelled out my separation plan. That night he made his first public IG page with pictures of himself out with a female friend and him and the boys.
Even if it is performative, it still stings.
I feel for anyone going through a divorce with children involved.
I’m really sorry to hear what you’re going through.
Stay strong.
I’m sorry you’re going through that, Also Ali.
That is terrible Ali. I so sorry
I am very sorry to hear you are separating
I do have a question: given you wrote down your separation plan, why does seen your spouse with someone else hurt? is it because of the children?
Emotions are complex but when someone said enough and both partners agree, why the pain of seeing your spouse with someone else?
I can’t speak for everyone, but for me it was initially because he left me for her [it imploded almost immediately] and because I still remembered the happiness we once had, and the pain of that disappearing.
@Nina …. I am sorry for your pain! I hope over time you got the happiness you deserve.
A cheater just isn’t worth it! I know sometimes, some can forgive the cheater and things get better, would there ever be full trust again?
All the best to you
It is hard but hopefully you will soon feel the relief of being out of a painful situation – whatever it was that caused your divorce in the first place. Hang in there, mine was 20 yrs ago [I’m an OLD] but it still stings … a little. It gets better! just try to do the right thing by your kids every day and they will thank you for it later.
Thank you Nina and everyone who reached out with kindness 🙂
She is obviously in a rebound relationship. I still think it’s a d*ck move whenever people diminish/disrespect their previous relationship once they get into something new. She is out there talking about MGK being her twin flame, which implies that her relationship with her husband and father of her children was something less significant. That’s hurtful and totally unnecessary. Like, if you’re really that happy, just be happy. Be kind and don’t throw it in your former spouse’s face and make him feel worse than he already is feeling. On a human level.
This is all true – I think she is in a rebound relationship as well. But as many have pointed out, Megan got into a relationship with BAG when she was 17/18? and from all accounts and appearances, it seemed like he was super controlling and perhaps this is her way of finally breaking free and expressing to him, he no longer has control over her. Again, I am simply speculating here, and she is still fairly young IMO, and not exactly behaving in the most mature way, I will agree there. But finally getting out of a marriage that was on/off again where you had very little control, I can emphasize that may feel liberating to her, and she may feel the need to stick to him a bit. BAG always gave me the creeps anyway, and when he immediately went out a date with Courtney Stodden (who has a terrible history of her own of being abused by older men/parents) just solidified that.
BAG…yuck. MGK…blech. Girl, no…puke
This. Also this is the most press any of them have gotten in ages, they are all working it.
The new couple lose points for sticking their tongues out like 5 year olds.
I think she is baiting the new relationship to make clear it’s over.
Probably considering how often they split and got back together even after getting married. But if thats true her need to do this publicly means hes not taking her seriously behind closed doors when she has said no, this time we really are done
His post that copied hers was definitely a sign of how controlling and immature he is, he tried to use her own children against her and imply that she’s not there for them. It actually made me sick, he’s mad she finally figured out his cycle and got the hell away from him.
EXACTLY!!! yes!!!
Agree! Implying a woman can’t be a devoted mom if she is involved in a romantic relationship is so degrading and manipulative. Now if he had posted a picture of a really good cheeseburger with the same caption – I would have laughed. But I don’t think he has a sense of humor. He gives major a-hole vibes.
This made me laugh!
Yeah, he doesn’t seem fun/funny at all. Glad she’s trying to move on.
@Jess
Good points, totally agree
BAG cannot win this fight. She is Megan Fox and he has not been a star for 30 years. Staying classy is his only play. Just let her play and concentrate on your own life.
BAG is ew. He needs to chill with the hook ups and just go skulk away somewhere and be a dad, I guess he doesn’t realize he peaked when he robbed the cradle with Meagan. I’m glad she is finally away from him.
Isn’t he the one dating a different girl every day? Megan is in a new serious relationship not walking around with random men. Double standards
Exactly
Karma is a real thing. He’s earned every bit of what he gets.
BAG has always given off a controlling vibe so I’m glad she’s gotten away and moved on. I just generally cringe at all performative social media relationship posting so I’m grossed out by hers. Definitely looks like a rebound relationship (even more reason to just enjoy the fun without posting cheesy selfies. Fewer posts to delete later).
I’ve never laid eyes on a picture of Machine Gun Kelly before, and I’m surprisingly into it. They look hot together, I have to say. Someone on another comments section was saying that it’s always the tall skinny white boys who are packing hidden heat, and I sincerely hope this is true. Megan Fox probably deserves it, given that she was limping along in a relationship with a man who’s closer to 50 than she is to 30, lmao.
Does he think megan was ashamed of being with him which was the need for privacy but maybe shes not embarrassed to be seen wuth MGK so shes more oublic? That was my first thought whole reading this.
Im positive when she first got with BaG her tram told her is not cool keep it quiet or his u coolness will rub off in your image. Im sure het PR people worded it just like that lol
Oh and the sexist suggestion that because shes with someone new she doesn’t give enough to her kids and BAG does? Youve been seen on dates too dude, but apparently only youre allowed to do thst? Soo tired of mommy shaming
I’ll never understand why she went with Brian!!! The man hasnt done anything remotely noteworthy since 90210!!! I agree with others, he seemed controlling and am glad she left him. Perhaps now she get back to making good movies!!
Are they not going to shot a film together and were quarantining (however you spell it) together? I thought that the pics were part of the promo or something…
