Brian Austin Green and Megan Fox are separating after 10 years of marriage.
Beverly Hills, 90210 star Green confirmed the news on an episode of his podcast ...with Brian Austin Green Monday.
Green explained that he and Fox grew apart at the end of last year while the Transformers actress, 33, was away shooting a film.
"She said, 'I realized when I was out of the country working alone that I feel more like myself, and I liked myself better during that experience and I think that might be something worth trying for me,'" Green revealed.
Although Green admitted he was "shocked" by the revelation, he said he is thankful for Fox's honesty.
"Neither one of us did anything to each other. She's always been honest with me. I've always been honest with her," he said.
"We've had an amazing relationship. I will always love her. 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."
The couple share three sons, Noah Shannon, 7, Bodhi Ransom, 6, and Journey River, 3.
Fox and Green started dating in 2004 and married in 2010. Fox filed for divorce from Green in 2015, but they later reconciled.
Fox was recently photographed with her co-star Machine Gun Kelly, whose real name is Colson Baker, in Los Angeles where the pair are working on the movie, Midnight in the Switchgrass.
Green also posted a cryptic message to Instagram on Sunday.
Alongside a photo of a butterfly, the Anger Management actor wrote: "Eventually butterflies get bored sitting on a flower for too long. They start feeling smothered. It's a great big world and they want to experience it."
