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.
“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.

"Sharna is a really amazing, considerate, loving, kind person. I kind of feel like when you put yourself in a space where you on some level decide that you're gonna surround yourself with people that help you move forward on a path instead of pulling you back, that they do that."

"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."
"Mushy Instagram posts aren't really your thing… but they are definitely mine so… 😌 Also … you can thank your mum for the next few slides 😍," the ballroom dancer teased while wishing her "best friend and favorite human" a happy 48th birthday with a special Instagram slideshow. "I truly never knew it could be like this. That my happiness could find a whole new level. 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. (What the f--k was I thinking 🤦🏼♀️)."
The dancer revealed via her Instagram Story that Green’s sons got a new pet, a bunny named Thumper Brave Green. “Positively obsessed,” she captioned one of her videos with the furry animal.
