Sharna Burgess is ready to be a mom again.

The Dancing With the Stars alum—who shares son Zane, 2, with fiancé Brian Austin Green—shared that she has every intention of adding another baby to her family.

“I do totally want to go through this again,” she said during the May 6 episode of the Money Rehab podcast. “This year is crazy, but I’m going to put out there that hopefully, maybe the end of next year, we’re looking at getting pregnant.”

Sharna, 39, added that she’d like to get the ball rolling sooner rather than later.

“Even though my eggs are fine and medicine’s wonderful,” she continued, “I want to be as young as I can possibly be.”

Additionally, the professional dancer—who is stepmom to Brian’s kids Noah, 12, Bodhi, 11, and Journey, 8, with ex Megan Fox as well as Kassius, 23, with ex Vanessa Marcil—said she plans to use in-vitro fertilization (IVF) in hopes of welcoming a baby girl.

“I think we’ll do gender selection and do IVF because [Brian is] five for five on boys,” Sharna noted. “Who’s gonna take a chance on that?”

And with the couple prioritizing the expansion of their family, Sharna revealed they’re putting their wedding plans on hold as a result.

“I don’t want to be pregnant [at the wedding] and I don’t really want to be in the first six or nine months postpartum,” she explained. “My body is still stitching itself back together and, hormonally, I’m still trying to find my balance. So the wedding is probably about two years away, but hopefully there’s another little one.”

In the past, Sharna has credited her role as stepmom to Brian’s older kids as a vital step in preparing her to become a mom herself.

“I got to test out motherhood with these guys,” she said during an appearance on the Quite Frankly podcast in April 2023. “I had a beautiful experience before having Zane. I did learn to trust my instinct. It was such a gift to have them in my life in that period before Zane.”

Breakfast In Bed

Brian Austin Green enjoyed a lazy morning snuggled up with kids Noah, born in 2012, Bodhi, born in 2014, and Journey, born in 2016, who he shares with ex Megan Fox.

Swimming In Smiles

After Brian and Megan split in 2020, the Beverly Hills, 90210 alum found love with his Dancing with the Stars pro partner Sharna Burgess. The two welcomed son Zane in 2022, and announced their engagement the following year.

Girl Dad

Meanwhile, Machine Gun Kelly—whose real name is Colson Baker—welcomed daughter Casie with ex Emma Cannon in 2009. He went on to get engaged to Megan in 2023.

Special Occasions

Despite her commitment to co-parenting, Megan has said it’s not always a walk in the park. “It’s hard to not feel obligated to be with them all the time or to constantly feel like I’m not doing a good enough job,” she admitted to Glamour UK in 2022, “but I’m also separated from their father. So, I can only have them half of the time. That just is what it is.”

Christmas Card

Brian’s blended family includes his adult son Kassius, whom he shares with ex Vanessa Marcil. The actor posed with Sharna and all five of his kids for a festive family photo in December 2023.

The Look of Love

For Megan, motherhood keeps her grounded. “When I step back, I know how connected I am and I’ve always been and how present I’ve always been,” she told Sports Illustrated Swimsuit in 2023. “I see the reflection of the type of mother that I am in their eyes and in their behavior.”

Three’s Company

In 2022, the Jennifer’s Body star posted a rare photo alongside the “Emo Girl” singer and his daughter, taken at his 27 Club Coffee shop in Ohio.

Musical Prodigy

The hitmaker turns to his daughter for advice on his music. “I trust her opinion more than I trust my own now,” he said on The Kelly Clarkson Show in 2021. “Like, she has her finger on the pulse of what’s hot, or if I’m doing a song and it’s the right one, she’ll confirm it.”

Mama Bear

In honor of Mother’s Day 2024, Brian paid a loving tribute to Sharna. “You are an incredible mother and fiancée,” he wrote on Instagram, “and we all love you to death.”

Bookworm

Megan rarely features her kids on social mediafor one very good reason. “I knew when they were very young, I wanted to try to protect them however I could, especially limiting their exposure to the internet,” she told Glamour UK in 2022. “So far, we’ve done a really good job and we maintain their innocence in a lot of ways, but I know I can’t protect them forever.”

Co-Parenting Pros

Brian’s golden rule for co-parenting? Picking his battles. “People make a mistake of thinking that they’re gonna do things so the separation doesn’t affect the kids,” he told E! News in 2024. “Of course it’s gonna affect the kids. The only choice you have is how it affects the kids.”

Keeping the Peace

Likewise, Megan makes a point not to speak ill of her kids’ father around them. “I don’t let anything in my energy like that when I’m around my kids,” she said on The Drew Barrymore Show in 2023, “because if I don’t accept and love their father, I’m rejecting a part of them, because he’s a part of who they are always.

Pool Day

Brian snapped a pic of his brood having some fun in the sun in Malibu, captioning the Instagram post, “Great day!!”

Kicking the Habit

MGK—pictured with Casie at the Kids’ Choice Awards in 2019—credited his daughter with helping him get clean after she told him she knew when he was high. “That was step one for me,” the musician, who has been sober since August 2023, said on the Million Dollaz Worth of Game podcast. “As a father and as a man, to be the father I wish my dad would have been, I have to break this generational curse for my kid.”

Stepmom Supreme

Sharna has thanked Brian’s kids for preparing her to be a mom. “I got to test out motherhood with these guys,” she said on the Quite Frankly podcast in 2023. “I got to learn things and grow with them, about parenting and understanding kids … and knowing, ‘Oh my God, I think I can be really good at that.'”

Past Their Bedtime

In 2020, Brian was a celebrity contestant on The Masked Singer. “I was super excited for my kids to watch it with me,” he wrote on Instagram, but “they fell asleep after 15 min.”

Helping Hand

No job is too big for the TV star and his mini-mes.

More to Come?

While Brian revealed he got a vasectomy eight weeks after Zane was born, that doesn’t mean he couldn’t have it reversed down the road. “If we have the space and the ability to, would we love to? I certainly would,” Sharna said on the Oldish podcast in January. “But we do have four young kids in the home and life is very, very busy.”

The Family Grows Again

On March 27, 2025, Megan and MGK welcomed the newest member of their blended family: a baby girl, who arrived into the world with her own original score composed by the rocker and his musical pals including Travis Barker.

“She’s finally here,” MGK exclaimed in a post on Instagram, “our little celestial seed.”

They Scream for Ice Cream

Brian and Sharna enjoyed a sweet treat and some sweet laughs with Zion, Noah, Bodhi and Journey in April 2025. 

Just Hanging
