NEED TO KNOW
- All five of Brian Austin Green’s kids were “unplanned,” says his fiancée, Sharna Burgess
- The former Dancing with the Stars professional dancer shared that she and Green want to add another little one to their family
- She added that they hopefully won’t have too many problems getting pregnant since Green’s “swimmers are very, very strong”
Brian Austin Green and Sharna Burgess are open to expanding their family – and the former Dancing with the Stars pro doesn’t think they’ll have too hard a time getting pregnant.
Speaking about her desire to grow her family with Green on the Between Us Moms podcast, Burgess noted that her actor fiancé seems to have some “very, very strong swimmers.” In fact, she noted that all five of Green’s kids were all “unplanned” pregnancies.
“[Brian] did that amazing thing of having a vasectomy, knowing we can reverse, do IVF (in vitro fertilization), all the things,” said Burgess. “So we have that control, which is great.”
“Brian’s swimmers are very, very strong, and this is…he’s spoken about this before, but all five of his kiddos were unplanned,” she explained. “And obviously, he loves and cherishes every single one of them. The universe gives you what you’re meant to have, but he’s never had that experience of planning a baby. And, you know, the building and getting ready for it, so it’ll be great for him to have that experience too, when we get to it.”

Elsewhere in the conversation, Burgess — who shares son Zane, 3, with Green – said she is hoping to have another baby in the near future.
“It honestly doesn’t have to be a little girl. It would be beautiful to have a little girl, I think,” she said. “Having another one in general would be amazing.”
“I always wanted one of each, but whoever is meant to be mine, I think, will come,” continued Burgess, who is also stepmom to Green’s four older kids — Journey, 9, Bodhi, 11, Noah, 12, whom he shares with ex Megan Fox, and Kassius, 23, whom he shares with ex-girlfriend Vanessa Marcil.
“What I do know is I’ve had my eggs checked and everything else, and we’re talking about just freezing embryos at this point to secure it,” she explained. “I am, again, really in that point. I’m 40, my body can still have a baby at 43, 44, and so I’ve hit this moment, and I have some momentum on things, and there’s stuff moving.”
“It’s such a hard conversation at 40, right? Because you’ve got this time clock,” she added. “The risks are higher, and [there’s] no guarantee that IVF works. And you just…this fear that gets built in you of, ‘But what if I wait and it doesn’t happen?'”
This isn’t the first time Burgess has opened up about growing her family. This past May, the proud mom appeared on the Money Rehab podcast and shared she was hoping to welcome another little one by the end of 2026.
At the time, Burgess noted, however, that she wants to start trying sooner rather than later, so she can be “as young as I can possibly be” while undergoing the IVF process. She also shared that she was planning to do gender selection with their next baby.
“I think we’ll do gender selection and do IVF because [Brian is] five for five on boys,” she said. “Who’s gonna take a chance on that?”
