It seems Brian Austin Green has finally decided it’s time to get rid of his tattoo for his ex – 20 years after separating.
The 49-year-old actor started dating Vanessa Marcil, 54, in 1999 after meeting on the set of Beverly Hills 90210 a year earlier.
Brian and Vanessa welcomed a son named Kassius in 2002, who is now 20, but went their separate ways in 2003.
While they were together, Brian got a huge tattoo of Vanessa’s name on his arm in a major declaration of love.
The artwork featured Kassius’ name, with Vanessa’s shaded inside the letters.
But the inking looks to be no more.
According to TMZ, he first looked into getting the design removed 15 years ago after he and Vanessa called it quits.
However, it’s said he was unable to finish the job as the tattoo parlor shut down.
So, the tattoo remained faint on his arm for several years before he decided to get rid once and for all earlier this month.
In recent photos obtained by the US outlet, Brian was spotted with a bandage on his arm after reportedly going all the way and scrapping the tat.
But Kassius needn’t worry, as his dad still has another tattoo honouring his son in the form of a baby photo on his bicep.
Brian and Vanessa endured a lengthy custody battle over their son after splitting, and things also got messy when he claimed she owed him for unpaid loans and tried to sue. The case was dismissed, though.
And it seems they haven’t remained on the best of terms all these years later, as Vanessa claimed back in February during an Instagram Q&A that she and Brian ‘don’t co-parent’ and she raised their son ‘alone.’
Brian was quick to shut down the claims, however, hitting back by saying in his own social media post that Vanessa was ‘never there’ and he and ex-wife Megan Fox worked hard to ‘give Kass a well-rounded childhood.’
He stated that it was ‘frustrating’ to read ‘lies’ on social media like they were in ‘high school.’
Transformers actress Megan, 36, divorced Brian officially in 2020 after an on-off relationship spanning over a decade.
They continue to co-parent three sons: Noah, nine, Bodhi, eight, and Journey, five.
Meanwhile, Brian recently became a dad for the fifth time as he welcomed a baby boy with new partner Sharna Burgess, named Zane.
Dancing With The Stars dancer Sharna, 37, started dating Brian after being set up by their mutual business manager.
Reps for Brian Austin Green have been contacted for comment.
