Brian Austin Green recently shared some intimate details about his past romance with Tichina Arnold on Deon Cole’s “Funny Knowing You” podcast. Green, known for his role in Beverly Hills, 90210, revealed that the relationship with Arnold, who starred in Martin, was kept a secret, which left him feeling insecure.
The couple first connected in their 20s over their shared interest in hip-hop music. Arnold, a singer, would come over to Green’s place to collaborate on music, and their friendship eventually blossomed into a romantic relationship. However, Arnold was insistent on keeping their romance under wraps, which caused Green to feel inadequate and insecure about their connection.
Green admitted that keeping the relationship a secret made him doubt his self-worth, as Arnold did not want their friends to know about their involvement. Eventually, Arnold changed her stance and wanted to go public with their relationship, but by then, Green’s perception of their bond had shifted.
Despite their breakup, Green still holds a lot of love for Arnold and considers her a close friend. He emphasized that he did not want his comments to be taken as speaking poorly of her. The pair’s past relationship came to light when Arnold was a guest on the same podcast and revealed the reasons behind their split.
Arnold explained that she ended things with Green because she felt he would ultimately end up with a white woman, despite dating several Black women. She acknowledged that their relationship was not meant to last but expressed gratitude for the experience. Arnold also shared that she is primarily attracted to Black men, citing a natural connection and chemistry.
While Green and Arnold did not end up together, they both moved on to other relationships. Green dated Vanessa Marcil before marrying Megan Fox in 2004, and the couple divorced in 2020. Green is now in a relationship with Sharna Burgess. Arnold, on the other hand, was previously married to Lamon Brewster and Darico Hines.
Green also reflected on his dating history, revealing that he primarily dated Black women during his time in the hip-hop music scene. He explained that he gravitated towards women with similar interests and backgrounds, leading to his relationships with Black women.
Overall, Green’s candid revelations shed light on his past romance with Arnold and the complexities of dating in the entertainment industry. Despite the challenges they faced, both Green and Arnold have moved on and continue to cherish their friendship.
