Megan Fox and Brian Austin Green have been together for 15 years, after meeting on the set of Hope And Faith.
But the Desperate Housewives actor confessed he actually rejected the Transformers star before they started dating, adamant nothing would happen between them.
Boy was he wrong…
During an appearance on Barstool Radio’s KFC Radio, the 46-year-old explained he had just got out of a relationship, and wasn’t planning on jumping straight into another one.
‘She was doing Hope And Faith at the time here in New York with Kelly Ripa and Faith Ford, and I came and did an episode of it,’ he said.
‘I met Megan on that, and she was really young. And I was like, “This isn’t this. This can’t f***ing happen. This isn’t going to happen, no way.” And so I left and she was just really persistent – and thank God.
‘It’s funny, I kept pushing her away early on, because I was like, I don’t want a relationship. And then she was like, “Well cool, I’m going to go date”.’
He revealed the 33-year-old’s words lit a fire under him, adding: ‘I was like, wait a second, I didn’t say go date, please! So then that’s when I realised I was, like, f***, I must be really into this situation, [because] the thought of that kills me.’
‘And … we’ve been together now for 15 years.’
As well as being together for 15 years – and getting married in 2010 – they also share sons Noah, Bodhi and Journey together.
However, it hasn’t been totally smooth sailing for Brian and Megan, after the actress filed for divorce in 2015.
She changed her mind a year later, dismissing her case in favour of staying with the Beverly Hills 90210 star.
Brian previously admitted a lot of ‘work’ went into their marriage, in order to get themselves to where they are now.
‘Marriage is hard. It’s work, I think for anyone. I think when you get to the point like we have, where you have kids and you’ve been married for a while and we’ve been together for a long time, it’s – you just take it day by day,’ he said.
‘You’re in it and then if you’re not, then you look back and you go, “That was a great 13 years”.
‘I don’t know what the secret is. Just stick it out. Like fighting and making up, believing in each other.’
And maybe not rejecting each other right away…?
