Megan
Fox
&
Brian
Austin
Green

Megan
Fox
and


Brian
Austin
Green
have
a
body
of
co-parenting
experience.
So
the

Jennifer’s
Body
star
and
the


Beverly
Hills,
90210
alum—who
share
kids

Noah,

Bodhi
and

Journey—try
to
follow
a
key
rule. 

“The
number
one,”

Brian
told
E!
News
in
April
2024, “is
always
make
sure
that
everything
is
centered
around
the
experience
of
the
kids.”

Because
as
he
put
it,
a
breakup
is
“gonna
affect
the
kids.
The
only
choice
you
have
is

how
it
affects
the
kids.”
Part
of
that,
Brian
continued,
is
recognizing
that
it’s
important
to
“pick
your
battles.”

“The
person
that
you
were
with
that
you’re
now
separated
from,
you
guys
are
separated
for
a
reason,”
he
added, “because
you
didn’t
get
along.
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.'”

Megan—whose
divorce
from
Brian
was

finalized
in
2022
two
years
after
the

filing—agrees. 

“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,”
the

Transformers
actress
said
on
a
2023
episode
of The
Drew
Barrymore
Show. “I
don’t
let
anything
in
my
energy
like
that
when
I’m
around
my
kids.
Because
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.”
