In a candid conversation, Brian Austin Green recently revealed a previously private chapter of his life involving a relationship with Martin star Tichina Arnold during the 1990s. While both were at the height of their fame on 90210 and Martin, Green explains that the relationship began under heavy secrecy at Arnold's request. He recalls how she was adamant that no one should know they were together, leading to an unhealthy dynamic where he felt he had to "sit in the back of the car" and stay quiet about their involvement. Green admits his own insecurities at the time made him accept this treatment, as he rationalized that she didn't want her community to know she was dating a white man.
The actor clarified that while he was heavily immersed in hip-hop culture and primarily dated Black women during that era due to shared interests, he was actually the only white man Arnold ever dated. He noted that while Arnold eventually became more comfortable being seen with him, the initial secrecy caused him to struggle with his identity and sense of belonging in those spaces. Despite the "mind-fucking" nature of their hidden start, Green went out of his way to emphasize that he and Tichina remain close friends today and spoke just before the interview to ensure there was no bad blood. He framed the story not as an attack on her, but as a reflection on the complexities of interracial dating and fame in the 90s.
