Megan Foxis reflecting on her “unfulfilling” relationship with ex-husbandBrian Austin Green.
The 37-year-old actress opened up on Wednesday’s episode of theCall Her Daddypodcast about the pair’s time together, which began when they first met on the set ofHope & Faithin 2004. They dated off and on before theirmarriage in 2010, andfinalized their divorcein February 2022.
“I got myself into a relationship, which I of course found — no shade to Brian, unfulfilling — because inevitably, that’s what I was going to do, because I was reenacting what I watched my mother do as a child,” said Fox.
A rep for Green did not immediately respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment on Thursday.

Fox and Green, 50,share three sons:Noah, 11,Bodhi, 10, andJourney, 7. On the podcast, theJennifer’s Bodyactress said, “I do feel like, karmically, I was supposed to have those kids with [Brian], of course.”
“So I didn’t realize … you know, I wasn’t looking at myself being like, ‘Oh, I’m reenacting my mother’s life’ or ‘I’m carrying my mother’s burdens,’ " she added.
“Maybe I was not great. Because I was young and really should not have been in a relationship of that level of commitment and magnitude. I shouldn’t have been involved in that when I was 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23; I shouldn’t have been,” said theExpend4blesstar.

As a result, Fox said she “did a lot of, like, falling in love with other people all the time” over the course of her relationship with theBeverly Hills, 90210alum.
“I would go to work and fall in love, because I was a kid,” she said. “I never had the full freedom to be single and experience that life. And I thought for a minute when I gotdivorcedthat that’s what I was gonna do, and I was single for, like, three weeks.”
The actress filed for divorce (for a second time) in 2020, and is now engaged toMachine Gun Kelly. Green is engaged toSharna Burgess, with whom he shares sonZane, 20 months. (The actor also shares 22-year-old sonKassiuswithVanessa Marcil.)
During her podcast appearance, Fox recalled meeting Kelly, 33, on the set of their movieMidnight in the Switchgrassin 2020. They later gotengaged in January 2022.
“We were doing a scene and I had seen his picture before he showed up and I knew just from his picture, I was like ‘I recognize that person,’ and I looked into his eyes and I was like, ‘Oh yeah, it’s you, I’ve known you for thousands of years,’ " said Fox.
