Brian Austin Green has released a candid statement confirming that he has split from his wife of ten years Megan Fox.

This comes after rumors of the pair's breakup have been circulating for a while, but it has now been officially confirmed by Green himself on his podcast, …with Brian Austin Green in an episode titled 'Context' that was released on Monday.

Green explained that until now he had chosen not to publically comment on his relationship status because of the coronavirus pandemic, but the "tabloids and paparazzi" have forced him into commenting.

In the video below, Fox talks about her and Green's sons:

"I wanted people to hear everything from me, and this is it," Green said, adding that he and Fox will not be providing any additional information about their split.

Green offered "context", explaining what led to the couple's split.

He said that last year "around Halloween, Thanksgiving time" his wife was gone for several weeks, and during that time, he dreamt of a distance between the pair, which turned out to be a reality when she returned home.

Green said that Fox was gone for five-and-a-half weeks to film and this was the "longest that she's been gone" for work.

"I gave her a couple of weeks, I figured she's been out of the country, she's jet-lagged, she's been shooting nights, I have to give her some time to recoup a little bit and get back into life, and so I did," he said.

A few weeks later, the pair's relationship hadn't improved and Fox, 34, revealed to Green, 46, that she enjoyed her time alone and liked herself "better during that experience".

Green said he was "shocked" and "upset about it" but "wasn't upset at her".

"It wasn't a choice she made," he said. "That's the way she honestly felt."

The pair then made the decision to "separate a little bit and give ourselves some time and take some space, and meditate, and do whatever, and see what it is we find, and so we did," Green said.

He said that after that "things just didn't really change" and "the reality started sinking in" of "maybe this is what it is".

"Neither one of us did anything to each other. She's always been honest with me. I've always been honest with her," Green said. "We've had an amazing relationship, and I will always love her. And I know she will always love me and I know as far as a family what we've built is really cool and really special."

Green said that he and Fox plan to continue holidaying together for the sake of their children Noah, 7, Bodhi, 6, and Journey, 3.

"It sucks when life changes and something that you're used to, that you've been doing for 15 years, you try and not get rid of but you change because there's the unknown aspect … There's that pit in my stomach," Green said. "I really don't want Megan and I to be at odds… She's been my best friend for 15 years and I don't want to lose that."
