“Dancing With the Stars” pro Sharna Burgess, 27, and her partner, actor Brian Austin Green, 49, welcomed their first baby, son Zane Walker, together in June 2022. But in a joint interview with People magazine in December 2022, the couple said they haven’t yet decided whether they want to have more children.
“The rational part of my brain is like, ‘Let’s just wait and see, we’ll just give us some time,’ ” Burgess told the outlet. “Maybe we’ll be one and done, but then there’s that other part of me that’s like, ‘Now go on, one more time. Just do it one more time.'”
Burgess is a first-time mother, while Green is a father of five. The former “Beverly Hills 90210” actor shares sons Noah, 10, Bodhi, 8, and Journey, 6, with ex-wife Megan Fox, and 20-year-old son, Kassius, with ex-fiancée Vanessa Marcil.
“My heart is now forever outside of my body,” Burgess captioned an Instagram photo of the couple’s newborn holding Green’s hand on June 30, 2022.
Burgess later announced in an Instagram Story that she decided to take a season off from DWTS to focus on her son’s early months.
“I have some news that I have to tell you guys because I keep getting so many DMs about it,” she said in the Story ahead of season 31. “After long conversations and lots of thinking and really trying to stick with what was right and, again, many conversations with Deena Katz, who is our casting director… I made the really hard decision to not do this season of ‘Dancing With the Stars.'”
Burgess & Green Are Both on the Fence About Having Another Baby
In a July 2022 interview with Entertainment Tonight, Green said he was “done” having children after the birth of his fifth child.
“I mean, I have five kids, and we joke about the fact that I had a I already had a station wagon, so now [after Zane’s birth] I have [to get] a Yukon Denali,” Green said. “If I have another one, then I’m moving to like a school bus or something.”
Burgess echoed Green’s words in their interview with People.
“We are raising four young kids at home,” Burgess told the outlet. “If we add a fifth, we may need to then drive a school bus to get from point A to point B.”
Burgess added that she’d “love” to have another baby, but “I also want to give my absolute everything to this boy that we have.”
Green told ET that while he thought he was done having children after Zane, he might still change his mind.
“I’m not saying never, you notice, I’m saying, ‘I think,'” he said. “And there’s a lot that can come from thinking. There’s a lot of room for change within that.”
Burgess Has Expressed Wanting a Daughter but Green Wouldn’t Answer When Asked if He’d Like to Have a Daughter
In 2021, Burgess chatted with Us Weekly about wanting to be a mom, and specifically her desire to have a daughter.
“When that time comes, I would love a girl, but we’ll see,” she said at the time.
When People asked Green if he wanted to try for a daughter the DWTS alum “declined to answer,” the outlet reported.
Burgess told People that having another child is “definitely not” in the couple’s near future.
“We are going to love on and live the best life with the babies that we have at home, and it’s a never-say-never situation,” she said.
