Brian Austin Green Admits Jealousy as Megan Fox Urges Him to Quash MGK Buzz
Oh, fantastic—another celebrity soap opera. Brian Austin Green, begrudgingly stepping into the gossip ring, just revealed that Megan Fox practically begged him to stomp out the never-ending swirl of Machine Gun Kelly rumors. He spilled the tea on a recent episode of his podcast, admitting he felt “unfairly jealous” as he watched headlines speculate non-stop about Fox’s romance with MGK. According to People and Entertainment Tonight, Fox reached out to Green in mid-March, worried the gossip mill would complicate their co-parenting groove with sons Noah, Bodhi and Journey. Green confessed he initially rolled his eyes—after all, what ex really wants to play rumor cop?—but agreed to post a brief statement condemning the wild chatter online. He admitted on air, “It’s a s—y situation when your ex has a platinum rock star arm candy, and everyone’s framing you as the jealous ex.” Cue the cameras. Green’s public address was a mix of defensive quips and genuine self-reflection: he acknowledged Fox has the right to live her life, but couldn’t help feeling sidelined by MGK’s tattooed charisma and arena-filling energy. Industry watchers say this public airing of grievances is a classic PR move—Fox calmed down the rumor avalanche, and Green got to look like the reasonable co-parent. Yet fans aren’t buying the whole drama over a single Instagram post; many point to the timing (right after MGK’s sold-out tour announcement) as too convenient to be innocent. Even E! Online chimed in that Green’s jealousy confession may be part frustration, part calculated clickbait. In true Grumpy Guru fashion, I told you so: celebrities love turning personal spats into headline fodder, and we lap it up. To be fair, the duo insists there’s zero bad blood—just a “blended family” learning curve—and that addressing rumors head-on preserves stability for their kids. But let’s call a spade a spade: when Fox begs her ex to police tabloid chatter, you know the relationship dynamics are less “amicable split” and more “high-voltage reality show.” As Green warned, “If you don’t kill the rumors fast, they kill you.” And that, dear reader, is why we can’t have nice things.
