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. … How funny would it be if I actually found the love of my life during a pandemic? 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. One year later, Burgess and Green announced that they were expecting their first child together. Their son, Zane, arrived in June 2022.

“We couldn’t be happier, and everybody’s extremely healthy right now, which is a blessing,” Green exclusively told Us three months later. “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. 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.”

Green was previously married to Megan Fox. He confirmed their split in May 2020 after nearly 10 years of marriage. They share three sons, Noah, Bodhi and Journey.

The couple were first spotted kissing multiple times while on a vacation in Hawaii together. In photos obtained by E! News, Burgess and Green were also seen hugging and wiping sand off of each other.

After ringing in the new year together, the Transformers star and the Dancing With the Stars pro took to social media to tease the idea of love.

“Let’s all find the connection to love and togetherness again :),” Green captioned a photo via Instagram of himself sitting in a pool by a beach January 1.

Burgess posted her thoughts on 2020 with a similar mention, saying, “I choose to react with kindness, respect, understanding, optimism, positivity, wholehearted gratitude and above all else, love. Love for myself, love for my people, and love for even those who haven’t got it for me… yet 😉 I have no resolution this year other than to move forward with the same intentions, and hopefully inspire some people along the way.”

The actor revealed that he met the dancer through a mutual friend and even called her “an amazing woman.”

“She’s super responsible and she’s super sweet and caring, passionate, fun to be around, so I feel blessed right now,” Green gushed in an interview with Access Hollywood on January 9.

The pair went Instagram official while sharing a glimpse at their time in Hawaii.

“Him,” Burgess captioned the photo via Instagram of her kissing the Beverly Hills, 90210 alum on January 11.

Green celebrated Valentine’s Day by sharing his feelings for his girlfriend with the world.

“This has been kind of a weird year for me so what an amazing Valentine’s Day this has been,” he said during the Instagram Live in February 2021. “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.”

Burgess’ DWTS costar Keo Motsepe shared his thoughts on the romance.

“I haven’t seen Sharna in a while, but when I saw her, she was happy. She just had this glow about her. And I was like, ‘I’m generally so happy for you,'” he revealed exclusively to Us in April 2021.

“Pool days,” Green captioned a photo of Burgess in the pool with his three youngest children. She commented on the post, writing, “Best days.”

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.

“It’s been a really long time since I’ve been with someone I can truly share life with. ,” the actor captioned a photo of him kissing his girlfriend at Walt Disney World via Instagram in July 2021.

Burgess, for her part, shared her own adorable pic from the trip.

“Even at Disney World you’re all I see. I could never get enough of you. ,” she wrote via Instagram at the time.

The dancer shared a selfie of the couple kissing with the caption, “End game.”

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.”

“1 year of accepting me in a way I’ve never been loved before ❤️ #damnimlucky,” the Beverly Hills, 90210 alum captioned a close-up snap of the pair on October 16 to celebrate the couple’s first anniversary.

“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.”

On June 28, 2022, the couple welcome their first child together. “Zane Walker Green,” the DWTS pro captioned a June 30 photo via Instagram of their new little one holding his dad’s finger. 

“My heart is now forever outside of my body,” she added.

“Having @brianaustingreen by my side throughout all of this and being everything and more that we could possibly need is something I am grateful for beyond words,” Burgess gushed via Instagram Story, days after giving birth to Zane. “I love you baby. And I appreciate you and all you do. Heaven is a place on Earth, and I found it.”

“Happy birthday baby ♥️,” Burgess captioned a series of photos via Instagram in July 2022 that showed the pair packing on the PDA.  “You deserve the world and more. So here’s to you, the future and that big, beautiful and kind heart of yours. Life with you has only just begun and I cannot wait for the rest of it. I f–king love you. All of you. On all days. 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?”

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.”

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.” 

The happy couple stunned while walking the red carpet at the iHeartRadio Music Awards on March 27. 

That same month, Burgess hinted that another relationship milestone may be on the way. When a fan asked if she and Green were engaged during an Instagram Q&A, the dancer replied, “Working on it.” 

The lovebirds announced their engagement after three years of dating. “The latest chapter 🥹,” they captioned a joint Instagram post, which featured Burgess’ new diamond ring. 

They also confirmed the news via their podcast’s official social media accounts. “BRIAN AND SHARNA ARE ENGAGED! Listen to hear the whole story on the new episode of Old•ish at the link in our bio!! 🤍💍,” they wrote alongside a photo of Burgess showing off her sparkler with Green holding onto her from behind.
