The outing came amid rumors that she was quarantined separately from her longtime husband, Green. Both had been spotted without their wedding rings in recent months.
The next day, Green posted a cryptic message on Instagram, marking his wife’s birthday.

Later on, in May 2020, the Beverly Hills 90210 alum confirmed that he and Fox have been on a break since December 2019, via his …with Brian Austin Green podcast. “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,’” he recalled Fox telling him. “I was shocked and I was upset about it, but I can’t be upset at her because she didn’t ask to feel that way. It wasn’t a choice she made, that’s the way she honestly felt.”
He also addressed recent photos of Fox and Kelly out together. “I’ve never met him, but Megan and I have talked about him,” Austin said. “They’re friends at this point, and from what she’s expressed, he’s a really nice, genuine guy, and I trust her judgment.”
Green and Fox share three sons, Noah, 7; Bodhi, 6; and Journey, 3. The former couple began dating in 2004 and split in 2006 before getting married in 2010. They filed for divorce in 2015 but reconciled ahead of their third son’s birth in 2016.
“I will always love her, and I know she will always love me, and I know as far as a family, what we built is really cool and really special,” Brian explained, later adding, “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.”

Later that day, Kelly seemed to allude to his new relationship, tweeting a lyric from “Bloody Valentine.” “I’m calling you girlfriend, what the f*ck.’ Life imitated art on that one,” he wrote.
A source told E! that although Fox may be moving on, Green “isn’t filing for divorce yet,” adding, “He wants to give Megan space and is hopeful they will find their way back to one another.
