Exes Brian Austin Green and Tiffani Thiessen were all smiles during a rare public reunion.
Green, 52, and Thiessen, 51, attended a private event hosted by Sandals Resorts on Thursday, November 30, in support of the company’s eponymous foundation.
Green dressed casually in a gray pair of jeans with a coordinating bomber jacket and baseball jacket, while Thiessen opted for a white, eyelet blouse with dark jeans of her own and cherry-red ankle boots. The exes were all smiles as they posed for a series of photos together.
Thiessen, who brought 15-year-old daughter Harper to the festivities, dated Green from 1992 to 1995. Amid their romance, Thiessen was cast on Green’s show Beverly Hills, 90210.
Brian Austin Green and Tiffani Thiessen’s ’90s Romance: A Complete Timeline
“I had a crush on her before 90210 because we used to do all these teen magazines or whatever,” Green recalled on an April episode of his “Oldish” podcast, referring to Thiessen’s Saved by the Bell tenure. “I was like, ‘Oh I don’t stand a chance. I’m reaching way above my weight class on this one.’”
Green subsequently started introducing Thiessen to his 90210 colleagues and producers, who even enlisted her for a multi-season arc beginning in season 5 after Shannen Doherty’s exit.
“I had no idea she was going to replace Shannen at that point and her story line is going to be this [big] … and it was just the hardest thing in the world,” Green said. “This was more of a complete family, and I was there all day long every single day so all of a sudden she comes in and she’s working with people, not with me. She has a dressing [room] in the same hallway, but we have different call times, and we have different things going on.”
He continued, “It was just an invasion in my space. … I [wanted] to share my life with someone but at the same time it’s my space, so it’s hard for me to be like, ‘Yeah let’s make a decision together.’”
According to Green, he eventually got “incredibly jealous” of Thiessen’s story lines and romantic scenes.
“There was just absolutely not a shred of maturity in the way I dealt. I was a wreck,” he admitted. “Every time I’d get a new script I was like, ‘Oh her character starts with Luke [Perry] and now she’s with Ian [Ziering].’ She literally dated every guy on the show.”
Green previously revealed on Doherty’s “Let’s Be Clear” podcast that he used to “freak out” over any of Thiessen’s 90210 sex scenes.
“I was incredibly jealous every time she would f***ing have to work with anybody else because we’d already been doing the show for four years,” he told Doherty, who died later that year, in March 2024. “I used to bring Tiffani to events so she knew everybody from then and then all of a sudden she’s doing sex scenes and s*** with people that were like my family and my brothers.”
Megan Fox and Brian Austin Green’s Ups and Downs Over the Years
As for Thiessen, she told Us Weekly months later that she dealt with “a lot of different emotions” about joining 90210.
“I had a boyfriend who definitely was probably not the most secure with me being there,” Thiessen exclusively told Us in May 2024. “I also had my own insecurities about being on a job that, again, was very established. There were relationships that were super close that I wasn’t a part of. It was definitely stressful and hard. I really take pride in having people speak about my work ethic and how professional I am.”
Thiessen has since moved on with husband Brady Smith, with whom she shares Harper and son Holt. Green, for his part, shares three children with ex-wife Megan Fox, son Kassius with ex Vanessa Marcil and son Zane with fiancée Sharna Burgess.
