Sharna Burgess, who shares a 3-year-old son Zane with fiancé Brian Austin Green, revealed that all five of the actor's children were "unplanned" because his "swimmers are very, very strong." Burgess, 40, said Green, 52, has never had the experience of planning a baby, as his previous four children with ex-wife Megan Fox and one with ex Vanessa Marcil were all unexpected. Despite the spontaneity, Burgess said she hopes to have another child with Green in the future.

Why it matters

Burgess and Green's candid comments about their family planning highlight the realities of blended families and the unique challenges they can face, from navigating co-parenting to deciding on future children. Their story also touches on the societal pressures and biological clocks that women, especially those in their 40s, often grapple with when it comes to having kids.

The details

Burgess revealed on the Between Us Moms podcast that Green's five children - Noah, 12, Bodhi, 11, and Journey, 9, with ex Megan Fox, as well as Kassius, 23, with ex Vanessa Marcil, and their 3-year-old son Zane - were all "unplanned." The dancer said Green had a vasectomy after Zane's birth, but they are open to potentially reversing it or using IVF to have another child. Burgess, 40, said she's had her eggs checked and is considering freezing embryos to "secure" her ability to have another baby, as she knows her biological clock is ticking.

  • Green and Burgess welcomed son Zane in 2022.
  • Green had a vasectomy 8 weeks after Zane's birth.
  • Burgess and Green got engaged in 2023.
