Brian Austin Green didn’t hold back when asked about Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly’s reported breakup. His reaction, caught on video, had fans praising his maturity and empathy.

Brian Austin Green’s reaction came during an impromptu conversation with a TMZ photographer who broke the news to him. Initially, Green appeared unaware of the situation.

He responded to the photographer’s unexpected questions with surprise, “On what? I didn’t even know.”

The photographer explained that Fox allegedly discovered inappropriate content on Machine Gun Kelly’s phone, which led to their split. This development reportedly occurred shortly after the couple had announced they were expecting a baby together.

Visibly taken aback, Green questioned Kelly’s maturity, saying, “How old is he? He’s in his 30s, isn’t he?” He followed up with a more pointed remark, “In your 30s… Grow up. Like, she’s pregnant.”

While Green was firm in his comments about Kelly, he also expressed empathy for his ex-wife and her growing family. “I just want the best for her. I want the best for the baby; I want the best for our kids,” he said.

Green and Fox share three children — Noah, Bodhi, and Journey. His concern was clear as he added, “I’m heartbroken about it because I know that she’s been so excited, and the kids are so excited for life and the change and all of that.”

Green concluded with hope, saying, “I hope that the best outcome that could possibly happen, happens. For her, for the baby, and for our kids.”

Fans quickly took to social media to praise Green for his thoughtful and supportive stance. One Instagram user called his reaction “pure and beautiful,” while another said, “True gentleman!!! Spoke well👏.” More positive comments followed, with users calling Green “grounded” and commending him for “having her back and telling MGK to grow up.”

The praise carried over to Facebook, where viewers remarked, “Brian kept it classy.” Another user said, “Brian Austin Green is so much hotter than MGK. It’s good that he’s supportive. She’s not just his ex-wife. She’s the mother of his children. They’re going to be family forever.”

Other users shared similar sentiments, with one person noting, “Absolutely love that this man backs the mother of his kids up!!!!” and another adding, “Good for him for being so supportive.”

More reactions poured in, with one person writing, “Brian is a good man… she lost a good guy… and MGK… what a weirdo… he does need to grow up! So does Megan a little bit… She deserves better than MGK!! Good Job telling him Brian.” Another chimed in, “Much respect to Brian. Seriously. I’m impressed by his response.”

Fox and Kelly’s split reportedly occurred during Thanksgiving weekend while they were together in Vail, Colorado. According to reports, discovering upsetting content on Kelly’s phone prompted Fox to end the trip, so Kelly left early. Since then, the couple has not been seen together.

The baby they are expecting is reportedly due in March. The breakup happened just weeks after Fox announced her pregnancy in early November. Fox and Kelly, whose real name is Colson Baker, went public with their romance in 2020, not long after Fox’s split from Green.

The couple’s love story made headlines, especially with their unconventional engagement in January 2022. Kelly proposed under a banyan tree, which the couple said had symbolic significance for their relationship.

In her now-deleted Instagram post, Fox recalled the proposal, stating, “In July of 2020 we sat under this banyan tree. We asked for magic. We were oblivious to the pain we would face together in such a short, frenetic period of time.”

Describing the intensity of their journey together, Fox wrote, “Somehow a year and a half later, having walked through hell together, and having laughed more than I ever imagined possible, he asked me to marry him.”

After accepting his proposal, Fox revealed they “drank each other’s blood,” a detail that quickly became a viral talking point. Kelly also shared his own perspective on the engagement via Instagram, posting a video of Fox’s emerald and diamond ring.

He wrote, “‘Yes, in this life and every life’ 💍 and shared that he designed the unique ring with the help of jeweler Stephen Webster. The ring’s two stones, an emerald (Fox’s birthstone) and a diamond (Kelly’s birthstone), were set on magnetic bands of thorns, which Kelly said symbolized “two halves of the same soul.”

Fox has often talked about their relationship during interviews. In 2023 on “The Drew Barrymore Show,” Fox described Kelly as emotional and introspective, contrasting his wild, rockstar persona. She explained that, despite his rebellious image, Kelly is sensitive and reflective, often working on his emotional well-being.

Their relationship became the subject of Fox’s debut poetry book, “Pretty Boys Are Poisonous,” published in November 2023. Fox revealed on the “Call Her Daddy” podcast that some of her poems were “obviously about” Kelly.

She cited specific poems, such as “32-Year-Old Narcissist Attempts To Quantify His Crimes” and “Ghosts of Christmas Future,” as direct references to him. Fox noted that while the references may seem harsh, she hadn’t written anything about him that he hadn’t already acknowledged about himself in his music.

Reflecting on her role in past relationships, Fox admitted on the podcast, “I was not flawless — I was not a pure victim.” She added, “I did plenty of things and provoked plenty of things — not in terms of violence — but, like, I’ve provoked pain or issues inside relationships with my behavior.”

For now, as Fox and Kelly’s split continues to make headlines, one thing remains clear: Brian Austin Green’s focus is on the well-being of Fox, her baby, and their shared children. His message of compassion has resonated with fans, earning him praise for being a steady and supportive figure amid the media frenzy.
