Sharna Burgess and Brian Austin Green Prepare for New Parenthood: A Bittersweet Father’s Day Celebration
As the warmth of July approaches, bringing with it the eagerly anticipated arrival of their first child together, professional dancer Sharna Burgess is undoubtedly looking forward to celebrating Father’s Day with her loving partner, actor Brian Austin Green. The couple’s journey into shared parenthood is a significant milestone, adding another layer of joy and anticipation to their lives. A source close to the Dancing with the Stars pro exclusively shared with HollywoodLife that Sharna is “excited” to honor Brian on this special day, particularly as he is already a devoted father to four sons.
Brian Austin Green: A Dedicated Father and Role Model
Brian Austin Green’s extensive experience as a father is something Sharna deeply admires and cherishes. He shares three sons, Noah, 9, Bodhi, 8, and Journey, 5, with his ex-wife Megan Fox, and his eldest son, Kassius Marcil-Green, 20, with ex Vanessa Marcil. This Father’s Day will undoubtedly highlight his significant role in their lives.
The insider explained, “Brian is going to have the boys for Father’s Day, and Sharna will likely tag along and spend some quality family time together.” It’s a testament to the strong bond Sharna has formed with Brian’s children and her commitment to being an integral part of their blended family. “Brian has been such a huge support system for Sharna throughout her pregnancy, and so she truly wants to make it a point to celebrate him on Father’s Day. They’ll enjoy the day with the boys and just have a nice, relaxing weekend together, cherishing these precious moments as a family unit.”
Brian’s co-parenting relationships with Megan Fox and Vanessa Marcil have evolved over the years, showcasing his dedication to ensuring his children feel loved and supported. Sharna has often expressed her appreciation for how Brian prioritizes his sons, creating a harmonious environment that speaks volumes about his character and commitment to fatherhood. This steadfast dedication is one of the many reasons Sharna feels so fortunate, knowing that he will be an exceptional role model for their own child.
Sharna’s Journey to Motherhood: Excitement and Anticipation
Sharna’s excitement about impending motherhood is palpable. The couple initially revealed their pregnancy in early February, a joyous announcement that quickly spread through their fan bases. The news came as a beautiful confirmation of Sharna’s long-held dream. Another source exclusively told HollywoodLife that Sharna has always known she wanted to be a mother. “She absolutely adores Brian’s boys and loves seeing what an amazing father Brian is with them,” the insider added, emphasizing the deep admiration Sharna has for Brian’s parenting skills. “It’s one of the reasons she feels so lucky because she knows what a fantastic role model he’ll be for their child.”
While the celebrations for Father’s Day will most likely be a cozy affair at home, it is for a very understandable reason. “Sharna hasn’t been feeling like going out much lately since she’s literally ready to pop,” the source shared. This phase of late-stage pregnancy, often marked by the ‘nesting’ instinct and a desire for comfort, is a natural part of the journey. Despite the physical demands of carrying a child to term, Sharna is “loving every moment of being pregnant,” soaking in the unique experience. However, she is also undeniably ready to welcome her baby into the world and begin the “next chapter of parenthood” alongside Brian.
Sharna, renowned for her energetic performances on Dancing with the Stars, has embraced this new, quieter phase of life with grace. Her transition from the rigorous demands of professional dancing to the serene anticipation of motherhood has been a beautiful spectacle for fans. Preparing for the baby’s arrival has likely involved transforming their home into a welcoming nursery and stocking up on essentials, all part of the exciting prelude to becoming first-time parents together.
A Bittersweet Father’s Day: Honoring Her Late Father Raymond
While the day promises to be filled with joy and celebration for Brian and his sons, a poignant undercurrent will undoubtedly resonate with Sharna. A shadow will be cast over the merriment as she remembers her own father, Raymond, who tragically passed away at the age of 73 on January 28th of this year. His passing left a profound void, and holidays like Father’s Day naturally bring forth a wave of bittersweet emotions.
“As much as she’s excited to celebrate Father’s Day for Brian, it’s also going to be bittersweet for her since she lost her own dad earlier this year,” the source revealed. Grief has a way of intertwining with joy, reminding us of those we’ve lost even during times of happiness. This complex emotional landscape is something many who have experienced loss can relate to, especially during family-focused holidays.
However, amidst the sadness, Sharna feels “so blessed” that Brian had the opportunity to meet Raymond. This connection, however brief, allowed Brian to receive “her father’s blessing before he passed.” This blessing holds immense significance for Sharna, providing comfort and a sense of peace knowing that her father approved of her chosen partner and the future they were building. It underscores the importance of family approval and the desire for loved ones to meet those who will become central to one’s life. The legacy of Raymond will undoubtedly live on through Sharna, and the values he instilled in her will undoubtedly shape her approach to motherhood.
Looking Ahead: A Growing Family and New Beginnings
The upcoming arrival of their baby marks a new chapter for Sharna and Brian, expanding their already vibrant blended family. With five children soon to be under their wing, their household will be a lively and loving environment. Sharna’s excitement to officially become a mother, coupled with Brian’s seasoned experience, promises a nurturing and supportive upbringing for their child. Their relationship, built on mutual respect, love, and a shared vision for family, provides a strong foundation for the challenges and joys that parenthood brings.
As Father’s Day unfolds, it will serve as a poignant reminder of the enduring power of family, love, and legacy. For Sharna, it’s a day of celebrating the wonderful father Brian is, while also honoring the memory of her own father. For Brian, it’s a moment to bask in the love of his sons and anticipate the arrival of his newest child. This blend of emotions—excitement, gratitude, remembrance, and anticipation—makes this Father’s Day truly unique and deeply meaningful for Sharna Burgess and Brian Austin Green as they eagerly await the next beautiful chapter of their lives.
