“Megan and Brian have decided to separate,” a source close to the couple told People.
“They will always love each other very much and are devoted to their kids. Anything could happen in the future, but for now they’ve decided it’s best to take some time apart.”
The entertainment publication noted that the parents to sons Noah, two-and-a-half, and Bodhi, 18 months, had been living separate lives for several months, and they have not been spotted in public together recently.
While neither have commented on the split speculation, the number one priority for the former couple will continue to be their boys. Brian is also dad to son Kassius, 13, from his previous relationship with Vanessa Marcil.
The 29-year-old beauty married her 42-year-old actor beau in a romantic island ceremony in Hawaii back in 2010.
“I’ve never been more sure of anything in my life. It was the absolute perfect start to what we hope will be an amazing life together,” the father-of-three reflected about his beach-side wedding.
After meeting back in 2004, the former 90210 actor popped the question in November 2006 only for the couple to call it off a few months later.
“Marriage isn’t a realistic goal for someone who is 23,” the actress told Us Magazine in June of that year.
Recently, cracks began to show when Megan did an interview with Men’s Health admitting relationships take hard work.
“You can’t live in a fantasyland and think that everything’s going to be perfect all the time,” she said.
“You will go through phases where you’re just not getting along. You’re not communicating well. That’s going to happen, and it’s going to feel impossible to you sometimes. It might not even make sense to you sometimes.”
In spite of what she said, the TMNT star did add Brian was her “soul mate”.
“He’s definitely meant to be the father of my children. That makes it easier for me to work through things, because I always see the spiritual side of things. I look at the end game,” she admitted.
It seems the parents are polar opposites with Megan reflecting they are “very, very different.”
