And in the co-parenting journey with an ex, the 50-year-old feels grateful for the mutual respect he and the Jennifer’s Body star have.
“I’ve been incredibly fortunate with Megan,” Brian said on the Sept. 18 episode of his and Sharna’s new podcast Oldish. “We co-parent really well together. When we need to, we communicate really well, we’re open to things, we don’t take things personally. It is my goal and I think it’s her goal as well that the kids are in as healthy an environment as they can be in.”
Brian said that raising kids is like “raising future adults.”
“There’s a lot that comes with that,” he said, “and that to me is what makes the concept of parenting so difficult. Because it is. It’s the waking up in the morning, making breakfast, it’s having the hard conversations about things, it’s going to the school, it’s doing homework afterwards. It’s really morally helping these kids learn these skills that they can then move into adulthood with because you’re not going to be with them forever.”
