Actor Brian Austin Green’s ex-partner Vanessa Marcil shared a screengrab of a conversation to Instagram on May 6, 2025. The former couple has a son, Kassius Lijah Marcil-Green.
The screenshot showed that the conversation is likely between Marcil and “Kassius’ Dad.” Seemingly referring to an event, Kassius’ father asked when it was, while Vanessa Marcil replied:
“Yesterday was his graduation.”
The other person replied:
“You did a really great job. He's an amazing person.”
Vanessa Marcil thanked them. Her Instagram post comes almost a day after Brian Austin Green discussed his past relationship on the Oldish podcast. On May 5, 2025, the actor sat down with Randy Spelling and partner, Sharna Burgess, on the podcast, where Burgess asked Green to talk about his relationships elaborately.
He explained that his past relationships were shaped by his desire to distance himself from his upbringing. After moving out, he often sought partners who were very different from his mother, wanting a completely different experience from what he had known growing up.
Speaking about his relationship with Vanessa Marcil, Brian Austin Green said:
“I had some major missteps because of that. The relationship that I had with Vanessa was very toxic in that way, like it wasn't a loving caring relationship. My mom was like [...] almost to the point of smothering like she just loved me so much you see her with the kids now like she is to a fault. Sometimes just everything was about me and then with Vanessa it was not that at all.”
Why did Brian Austin Green call off his relationship with Vanessa Marcil?
Brian Austin Green shared that his relationship with Vanessa Marcil initially felt like a loving and supportive one, but over time, he realized it was affecting his sense of self. He started to believe her way of showing love was different, even convincing himself she was helping him grow.
However, after about two years, he felt like he had lost touch with who he was, and his relationships with others had also shifted. Eventually, he came to understand that the relationship wasn’t healthy for him, and it came to an end. Reflecting on his relationship with his ex-partner, Megan Fox, he said:
“Then Megan was super she was a breath of fresh air coming out of what felt like Vietnam to me.”
Randy Spelling asked what changed him the most after Kassius’ birth. Brian Austin Green said it was the first time he focused on someone other than himself. His worries didn’t seem as important anymore because his son became his entire world.
He loved spending time with him and forming daily routines together. Becoming a parent gave him a deep sense of purpose, and he felt confident and natural in the role right from the start. Even daily chores like diaper changes came easily to him as his instincts took over.
According to People Magazine, Kassius Lijah Marcil-Green was born on March 30, 2002. Brian Austin Green and Vanessa Marcil met on the sets of Beverly Hills, 90210. They began their relationship in the 1990s. The couple broke up in 2003.
