Sharna Burgess and Brian Austin Green's Relationship Timeline

Better together! Sharna Burgess and Brian Austin Green found happiness with one another following a PDA-filled Hawaiian vacation in December 2020 — but that was only the beginning of their love story. Burgess first hinted at the romance earlier that month when she exclusively told Us Weekly that she was seeing someone new. “It’s been really awesome,” the pro dancer told Us at the time. “I actually am not on the market anymore. But it’s very new and very, you know, it’s dating, essentially. No one’s calling us a relationship yet.” The Australia native explained that dating during the coronavirus pandemic definitely made it more interesting. “How funny would it be if I actually found the love of my life during a pandemic?” she added at the time. “I'm looking for that soulmate stuff — that thing where that something inside you recognizes that something inside them.” The couple went Instagram official in January 2021 with Burgess posting a steamy photo of them kissing on a balcony. That same month, a source told Us that the twosome's bond was only getting better with time. [jwplayer D6a2boNM-zhNYySv2] "Their vacation to Hawaii has brought them closer. While they've become Instagram official, people don't see how close they've actually become since their meeting," the insider revealed. "Those who know them can see them being together for the long haul and getting super serious." While the source noted that the Masked Dancer judge "doesn't want to be in that type of limelight," the duo were still getting more comfortable in their relationship. Burgess even shared a glimpse at how dating in quarantine made their romance more meaningful during their first public appearance together in March. "We took out time and we really got to know each other for who we are on the inside. And we really built something beautiful," she told Entertainment Tonight during their first public appearance in March 2021. Burgess opened up how she wanted to scream about her relationship "from the mountaintops," but that at the same time, she wanted to keep it private. "That anonymity, that little secret that was just ours. We kept that for as long as we could," she gushed about dating in quarantine. "It was a different way of dating. We really took our time. We took four or five dates before we even kissed. It was truly about getting to know the human being, because that's where we are both at in our lives. I'm not really dating for fun, I'm dating for serious. I want to get to know you on the inside." The Knots Landing alum was previously married to Megan Fox. He confirmed their split in May 2020 after nearly 10 years of marriage. They share three sons, Noah, 8, Bodhi, 7, and Journey, 4.

"I'm excited for this time in life ... and I'm excited that she's in my life,” Green told Entertainment Tonight of his girlfriend in June 2021. “I think she's amazing. My kids love her. It's a win-win right now. I totally love her. That's without any question at all."

Burgess chimed in, "I second it, I mirror it. I love him. Honestly, eight months has gone really, really fast. It feels like the blink of an eye, but I also feel like I've known him my whole life. So it's one of those."

The professional dancer also commented on her beau’s parenting skills and how wonderful it’s been to interact with his children. "He is an amazing dad, I can tell you that. He's one of the best I've ever known or witnessed. He's incredible," she said. "I love spending time with the boys. I love having them in my life. They're amazing kids, so it's not a hard gig. I've always loved kids. A lot of my friends have kids now and I'm obsessed with them, so it was really wonderful for me to be able to connect with them.”

The actor praised Burgess’ ability to connect with his sons, adding, "She's great with them, she really is. She's super fun. They love hanging out with her and doing things and she has a great connection with each one of them. … She just instinctually sort of knows how to not be a stepparent in that way, but really just bond with them and love them."

That life and love and all things in between could feel so inexplicably deep and connected and transparent and .... Right. Loving you is the easiest thing I’ve ever done and I’ll celebrate your existence today and all days, In all the ways, always. I love you, HAPPY FRICKEN BIRTHDAY!!!"

Burgess said Green has been "cute as hell since birth," sharing childhood snaps of the actor, including one of him cozy in a crib. "You deserve everything you’ve ever wanted, dreamed of, or needed. I know there is so much exciting stuff ahead for you, and I can't wait to witness it," she added. "Now… let's go dive with Great Whites for the first of many crazy adventures together.

Burgess and Green earned a 24 out of 40 during their first dance for season 30, revealing post-show that he was “never” going to dance with anyone else on the show.

“I’ve never done this before; I've never dated anyone that I've danced with, whether it was in my competitions or my DWTS career,” Burgess told reporters, noting that it was a “learning curve” for their romance. “So, everything for me is new — learning that balance, every day in how to approach it. I think that's the biggest challenge. It doesn't mean it's bad, either. We haven't had a bad moment for us because our communication is so great in our relationship, so anything that arises, we discuss it. But it is new, so it's just that staying open to seeing what Bri is showing me and what we need as a couple in life, and what we need as a partnership on the dance floor and trying to be present to that.”

“We just allow things to flow. [Marriage is] on the cards. Of course, you know, we've talked about it [and] what type of weddings we like,” Burgess exclusively told Us ahead of The Modern Day Wife's What She Said panel. “There's been discussions over the time that we've been together of stuff we like and that we would want, and we are end game.”

She continued: “So it is definitely on the cards for, at some point, but we weren't that kind of relationship that was like, ‘So we'll get married here and then we'll schedule in a baby for here, but if you get, if you book a gig, we can push that a little bit.’ … It’s like, let life be life, right? Let's just enjoy each other and trust that things will happen when they're meant to.”

After discussing her plans to buy a home, Burgess shut down claims that this meant she wasn't living with Green. "So insane. I sold my house because I made amazing money on it because the market is so incredible," she explained via her Instagram Stories. "And I'm buying a house because my mom is moving over here and I'm buying somewhere for her to live."

Burgess added: "First of all, is it not obvious that Brian and I live together? And what is so scary about buying a house that you don't live in? I don't get it."

“He was in bed for six and a half weeks. It really is debilitating,” Burgess recalled of her partner’s “scary” ulcerative colitis battle during an appearance on Australia’s Today show. “It can lead to terrible things, so I'm really grateful that he was able to come out on the other side of things. It was scary and it was intense.”

She added: “Not having experienced this type of thing before, and still learning, I was supportive and loving and [like], 'I'm here for you,' and internally fearful for how long does this go on for?”

“You can’t walk into a new situation with someone and expect them to leave behind everything that they’re experiencing or have been through,” Burgess said during a joint appearance on the “Viall Files” podcast of accepting Green’s past relationship with Fox. “Brian had a whole life with another person and babies and I can’t expect that [to change]. [I never said,] ‘I’m [the] No. 1 priority and what I need is [this].’” 

She reflected on the beginning of their romance, adding, “I wanted to know him, to support him, to love him. These people will be a part of his life forever, so I can’t expect to not take them into consideration too.”

The dancer continued: “But there is no comparison, and why would you compare? That obviously didn’t work for a reason. For me to compare myself to that or to bring that into this relationship doesn’t make sense. I can only focus on what I can control and who I am and show that to him and be that for him. And if that does work out in the end and we do have a good match then that’s amazing.”

Always."

After welcoming his fifth child, Green weighed the possibility of having another baby with Burgess. "How do you travel? Like, you know, going into a restaurant asking for a table for seven, it all starts becoming a little much. So I think I'm done at five," he told ET. "I'm not saying never, you notice, I'm saying, 'I think.' And there's a lot that can come from thinking. There's a lot of room for change within that."

Days later, his partner exclusively told Us that she and Green were "on the same page" about having more kids. "It's not that I wouldn't love to have more kids. It's [that] I want to be able to spend amazing quality time with Zane," Burgess explained, adding that she was holding out hope that the duo could have a daughter someday. "Like, can I get some estrogen up in here? That would be really nice. ... Maybe I'm just meant to be a wolf pack mom, you know what I mean?"

September 2022

Green exclusively told Us about the challenges he and Burgess have faced raising a newborn.

“I always say that the easiest part is to become a mother or a father. Almost anybody can have a baby, but to be a parent — that's the work,” the TV producer shared. “Getting up in the morning, making breakfast, making lunch for school, bedtime rituals and bathtime … that's when the real work comes in.”

He continued: “[Sharna’s] amazing with that. She’s been so hands-on with him. At this point in my life, to have a partner that is as hands-on and in love with the process as she is — even when she's exhausted — … it's so nice to have a partner that shares in that duty.”

"My god am I thankful every single day for that. You are a light in my life, our kids lives, and the most amazing person I have ever met."

He added: "The life that we have created and continue to create is better than anything I ever thought was possible :)) I love you❤️😊."

December 2022

Shortly after Burgess opened up about experiencing “intrusive mom thoughts” about possible “things that could go wrong” about son Zane, she praised Green for his invaluable support.

“I got to a point where I was having thoughts of Brian not making it home from work or my mom not making it back to her house from leaving our house. And I had one panic attack and that's when I went, 'I absolutely need to see someone about this because it's escalating,’” she told Entertainment Tonight on December 16. “I did get assured by my family, by [Brian] that these sort of thoughts are normal.”
