BH90210 star Brian Austin Green rejected his wife Megan Fox at first.

Green married Megan in 2010 after they began dating in 2004, but he has now admitted it wasnโ€™t quite love at first sight, as he initially thought there was โ€œno wayโ€ a romance would blossom between them.

He said: โ€œShe 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. I met Megan on that, and she was really young. And I was like, โ€˜This isnโ€™t this. This canโ€™t fucking happen. This isnโ€™t going to happen, no way.โ€™ And so I left and she was just really persistent โ€“ and thank God.โ€

The 46-year-old actor had โ€œjust gotten out of a relationshipโ€ and โ€œwasnโ€™t looking for a relationship at the timeโ€ when he first met Megan, and although he had planned to โ€œplay the field for a little whileโ€, the Transformers actress won him over eventually.

Green noted that he โ€œkept pushing her away early on.โ€ However, the Green realized his interest in Fox when she said she would pursue other dating options instead.

โ€œThatโ€™s when I realized I was, like, โ€˜Fuck, I must be really into this situation โ€ฆ the thought of that kills me.โ€™ And โ€ฆ weโ€™ve been together now for 15 years,โ€ he explained.

โ€œYou know, itโ€™s funny because you talk about Megan now because you know her after all of that. But you know, this was when I met her โ€” [she] was pre-Transformers. It was pre- all that.โ€

Green added that there was โ€œso much anonymity going aroundโ€ early in their relationship. At the time, Fox lived in New York City and he would visit โ€œon weekends.โ€ He regarded that time during their courtship as โ€œreally easy and fun.โ€
