Megan Fox and Brian Austin Green were one of Hollywood’s most passionate on-off couples back in the day, splitting and reconciling many times during the course of their relationship. The course of true love never runs smoothly, or so they say - but could their unconventional sleeping arrangements have had anything to do with it?
Like many couples, Megan and Brian’s life was turned upside down by the arrival of children. And after their sons Noah and Bodhi arrived in 2012 and 2014 respectively they were no longer alone in the bedroom.
In 2014, Megan told Entertainment Tonight that her son Noah slept with them, adding: “Brian doesn’t get any intimacy whatsoever… there’s no way.”
At the time, despite the hectic night-time sleeping arrangements, she said in a separate inteview that she “wasn’t opposed” to the idea of having another baby with Brian, who was nearly 13 years her senior. And it seems the lack of intimacy didn’t turn out to be a permanent problem, since the couple did go on to have another child. However, the circumstances were a little complicated.
In 2015 it looked like the end of the road, after Megan filed for divorce, citing irreconcilable differences. But there was suprise in celeb land when it was confirmed eight months later that the Transformers star was pregnant with her third child. She was reluctant to discuss the new baby’s father, but later confirmed that the Beverly Hills 90210 actor was indeed the father. Their third son Journey arrived in August 2016.

“And I know she will always love me and I know as far as a family, what we have built is really cool and really special. So we decided let’s make sure we don’t lose that. That no matter what we’re always friends with each other and we’re a united front with the kids.”
It’s a promise they’ve kept, and in fact, Megan - who started dating Brian in 2004 when she was just 18 - said just last week during an interview that she makes a point to be loving and supportive of her ex-husband.

“Even in a passive-aggressive way or even to make remarks… I don’t let anything like that in my energy 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…. So I’ve always made a point to be very loving with him and about him.”

The rapper and the actress got engaged in January 2022, but paused their wedding plans temporarily due to relationship tensions. Their relationship seems to be on the mend now, however.
