Brian Austin Green and Vanessa Marcil’s journey from costars to coparents has been anything but easy.
Green and Marcil met on the set of Beverly Hills, 90210 when she joined the show during season 9. While the twosome dated for several years, Marcil claimed in 2020 that she was “never” in love with Green.
“[I was] always honest with him about that. … I did however feel sorry for him. I still do,” she wrote via Instagram at the time. “He’s a very angry/sad human being who still has too much shame to take full responsibility for his actions as a father. I consciously knew that I could work through childhood traumas through him and I have. I have great empathy towards him and other people who are still in pain from their childhoods.”
After welcoming son Kassius in March 2002, the pair were involved in a lengthy custody and legal battle. Marcil spoke out for the first time publicly about the drama in November 2018 via Instagram.
“I never spoke publicly in order to protect my then young son from paparazzi that used to follow him & terrify him,” the former soap star wrote in part before alleging that Green and his then-wife, Megan Fox, hadn’t seen Kassius in five years.
While Marcil hasn’t always had nice things to say about her ex, she wasn’t afraid to praise Fox after the Transformers star and Green called it quits for the second time in 2020.
“[She’s] finally living her life for herself & leaving her children out of her public life at this young age,” Marcil wrote in September 2020, referring to Fox’s relationship with Machine Gun Kelly (real name Colson Baker).
Green confirmed his separation from Fox in May 2020. The exes, who share three sons, wed in 2010. Fox wasted no time moving on with Kelly, her Midnight in the Switchgrass costar.
“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. There’s the unknown aspect … there’s that pit in my stomach … 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,” Green said on his podcast after the split news broke. “She met this guy, Colson, on set. … I trust her judgment; she’s always had really good judgment. I don’t want people to think her or he are villains or that I was a victim in any way.”

Marcil joined the cast of Beverly Hills, 90210 as Donna Martin’s (Tori Spelling) cousin Gina Kincaid in 1998. She appeared on the series during seasons 9 and 10, and her character briefly dated Green’s David Silver. Offscreen, the pair hit it off and started dating.

The twosome split shortly after welcoming Kassius. In 2004, Green began dating a then 18-year-old Megan Fox after meeting her on the set of Hope & Faith. Green and Fox wed in 2010.

Marcil claimed on Instagram in November 2018 that her custody battle with Green began in 2006. “12 years ago I was served legal papers and then spent 8 years+ defending myself and my son in custody court in response to his father & his stepmother trying to get full custody(that means I would have seen my son four days a month) and then asking me to pay them child support,” Marcil alleged. “They lost that case.”

In the midst of their bitter custody battle, Green sued Marcil, alleging that she never paid him back money that he started loaning her in 2000. According to the court documents filed by the Anger Management actor in January 2012 and obtained by TMZ at the time, Green alleged that Marcil agreed to pay him back upwards of $200,000, but refused to give him the money when he asked for it in November 2011.

Marcil alleged in November 2018 that Green and Fox “decided to completely cut” Kassius “out of their lives and his younger brothers’ lives.” (Fox and Green are parents of three young sons: Noah, Bodhi and Journey. While the Transformers star filed for divorce from Green in August 2015, they reconciled in 2016 around the same time Journey was born.)
“Kass has never met his youngest brother and is not allowed to know where his bio father, stepmother and three younger brothers live,” Marcil claimed. “Custody cases hurt the children only and the truth shall set us all free. Put the kids first you guys. There shouldn’t be a ‘more important parent’ kids love both parents equally no matter what either parent’s struggles may be. Kass has been truly heartbroken since being cut out of his other families lives with NO explanation. Let’s do better for our kids. Let’s share our stories. #Buddhakids.”
A rep for Green did not return Us Weekly’s request for a comment at the time. While Green shared a photo of Kassius in a production of Aladdin on Instagram in August 2018, Marcil reposted the photo in November 2018 and claimed that she took the pic shared by her ex.

All seemed well as Kassius paid Green a visit on the set of BH90210 in July 2019. The then-17-year-old gushed over the fun-filled day in a series of Instagram pictures at the time. “I’m visiting my dad in Vancouver on the set of 90210. We’re going to be staying here for a bit. I’m here for a week. I think we’re, like, staying somewhere near downtown,” he shared. “So if for any reason any of y’all who are out here or live here happen to see me, please say something. I would love to meet y’all. So please, if you happen to see me, don’t get scared and not say anything. Please. I want to meet y’all if I can.” Marcil added in a post of her own that her fiancé, MC, was “so happy” that Kass was invited to see his father.

After Green seemingly repaired his relationship with Kassius, Marcil shed some new light on their former romance, telling her Instagram followers that she “never” loved her ex-fiancé. She also provided an update on their father-son relationship.
“[Kass] loves him unconditionally and I am very proud of that fact. I celebrate Kass’ love for his father and remain extremely grateful that My son was finally invited back into his dad’s life and was able to finally meet his youngest brother and finally see his other two siblings again. My son is also an incredible big brother,” she wrote in September 2020 via Instagram.

When asked by a social media user in September 2020 if the issues between Kassius and Green stemmed from “Megan or Brian,” Marcil replied, “It’s a biological father’s responsibility to see his child.”
She also praised Fox for her relationship with Kelly, which came shortly after her split from Green. “Megan finally living her life for herself is in itself a gift to her children,” Marcil wrote at the time.
Green, for his part, had a cryptic reply on his own social media profile.
“Just because you lost me as a friend doesn’t mean you gained me as an enemy. I am bigger than that. I still wanna see you eat, just not at my table,” he wrote via Instagram after Marcil’s remarks made headlines.

Green poked fun at Marcil’s claims that he’s an “angry” and “sad person” on a September 2020 episode of his podcast, “With Brian Austin Green.”
“I’m just angry. … I’m angry and I’m sad all the time. And I just don’t know what to do about it. I’m more angry today, I don’t know why,” he quipped to cohost Derek Russell. “My temper it’s legendary. … If you check around the industry, I’m known as the angry, sad guy. And the diva on set. … They’re just complete opposites, being angry and sad, like, they don’t seem like they would mix together.”
Russell also tackled Marcil’s remark that she “never” loved Green. “I’ve been there for you every step of the way, but I never loved you, Brian,” he told the actor. “I never loved you.”
Green sarcastically responded, “That’s a shame.”
