If you’re scrolling through social media looking for the official "Brian Austin Green wife" update, you might be surprised to find that the answer isn't a simple yes or no. People often assume that because he’s been with professional dancer Sharna Burgess for years, they’ve already walked down the aisle.
Honestly, they haven't. Not yet.
As of early 2026, Brian Austin Green is technically not currently married. He is, however, very much engaged to Burgess. The couple has been extremely open about why they haven’t rushed to the altar, and their reasoning is actually pretty refreshing for a Hollywood couple. They aren't dodging the commitment; they’re just busy raising a small army of children and navigating the complexities of a very high-profile blended family.
Who is the Woman in Brian Austin Green's Life?
Sharna Burgess is far more than just "the fiancée." Most people recognize her as the powerhouse ballroom pro from Dancing with the Stars, where she famously won Season 27 with Bobby Bones. She and Brian actually met through their mutual business manager back in 2020.
It wasn't some grand red-carpet encounter. It was coffee.
At the time, Brian was fresh off his split from Megan Fox. He wasn't exactly looking for a soulmate. He’s admitted in interviews that he was in a "dating everyone" phase, trying to find his footing. But Sharna was different. They sparked quickly, and by the time they competed together on DWTS in 2021, the chemistry was undeniable.
The Real Story Behind the Engagement
Brian popped the question in July 2023. It wasn't a solo effort. He actually involved his kids in the proposal, which tells you everything you need to know about where his priorities are these days.
During a surprise 50th birthday party that Sharna threw for him, Brian pulled her into their bedroom. His kids—Noah, Bodhi, Journey, and their youngest, Zane—were all there. His son Journey was the one holding the red Cartier box.
"Would you spend the rest of your life with us?"
That was the line. Not "will you marry me," but will you marry us. It’s a subtle distinction, but it’s why this relationship seems to be sticking where others didn't.
The Wedding Delay: Why No "Wife" Status Yet?
So, why aren't they married? If they're so happy, what’s the holdup?
Sharna has been vocal about this on her podcast, Oldish. In mid-2025, she laid it out clearly: they want to have another baby first. She’s mentioned that she doesn't want to be pregnant or in the middle of that "newborn haze" while trying to plan a massive wedding.
There's also the financial side. Even for celebrities, a dream wedding costs a fortune, especially when you’re flying family in from Australia (Sharna’s home country). They’ve basically decided to wait until the end of 2026 or even 2027 to tie the knot so they can "go big" without the stress of a pregnancy or career pivots hanging over them.
The Megan Fox Factor
You can't talk about Brian Austin Green's domestic life without mentioning his ex-wife, Megan Fox. They were married for about a decade and have three sons together.
For a while, the tabloids tried to paint a picture of a "feud" between Megan and Sharna. The reality is much more boring (and healthy). Sharna actually reached out to Megan early in the relationship to establish a rapport.
Today, they are the poster children for successful co-parenting. When Megan announced her pregnancy with Machine Gun Kelly in late 2024, Sharna was one of the first people to publicly congratulate her. They’ve managed to strip away the ego, which is probably the only way a family with five (soon to be six) kids survives.
A Look Back: Brian's Relationship History
Brian has a "type"—strong, talented women in the industry. Before the Sharna era and the Megan era, there was Vanessa Marcil.
- Vanessa Marcil (1999–2003): They met on the set of Beverly Hills, 90210. They were engaged and had a son, Kassius, but never actually married.
- Megan Fox (2010–2021): The "big" one. It was an on-again, off-again saga that defined the 2010s celebrity news cycle. They finaly divorced in 2021.
- Sharna Burgess (2020–Present): The current chapter.
Managing the Blended Family Dynamic
Currently, Brian is a father to five boys:
- Kassius (with Vanessa Marcil)
- Noah, Bodhi, and Journey (with Megan Fox)
- Zane (with Sharna Burgess)
Managing that many schedules is basically a full-time logistics job. Sharna has spoken about the "loss of identity" she felt after having Zane in 2022, transitioning from a world-class athlete to a mom in a house full of boys. She’s also been open about "mom guilt," like the time she had to leave Zane while he had hand, foot, and mouth disease to go on a work trip.
It’s these real-world struggles that make her stand out compared to the usual Hollywood "stepmom" trope. She’s in the trenches.
What to Expect Next
If you're looking for the "wife" headline, you’re going to have to wait. The couple is currently focused on:
- Expanding the family: They’ve hinted at trying for a second child together before the end of 2026.
- The Podcast: Oldish continues to be their primary platform for debunking rumors.
- The 2027 Wedding: Current projections put their actual wedding date sometime in early 2027.
The takeaway here is that "wife" is just a legal label. In every way that matters—parenting, partnership, and public support—Sharna Burgess already fills that role. They’ve traded the rush for a marriage certificate for a foundation that actually seems like it might last this time.
To stay updated on their journey, keep an eye on Sharna’s Instagram for the "save the date" announcements, but don't expect them until the nursery is ready for baby number two. For now, the focus is on the "blended tribe," not the wedding cake.
Actionable Insight: If you are following this story for wedding inspiration, focus on their co-parenting tips rather than ceremony details for now. Sharna and Brian frequently share advice on their podcast regarding how to maintain a healthy relationship with an ex-spouse, which is often more valuable than knowing what brand of champagne they’ll serve at a reception two years away.
