Brian Austin Green hasn’t been able to cheer on his fiancée, Sharna Burgess, on her return to “Dancing With the Stars” after production “cracked down a little bit on young kids being there.” “I was there a lot in the beginning,” he told Us Weekly on Tuesday, before noting that kids aren’t allegedly allowed in the audience anymore. “I can’t be there with Zane and the kids. So we have found a time when it works where they can be home with someone and I can go,” Green justified, referring to his and Burgess’ 4-year-old son, as well as his three kids with ex Megan Fox. “I’m always there, whether I’m sitting in the audience or I’m sitting at home watching. I’m always rooting for [Sharna]. So we figure out from episode to episode what works.” Brian Austin Green (pictured above with Sharna Burgess and son Zane) claimed he’s been absent from “Dancing with the Stars” because production has “cracked down” on having young children in the audience.

Brian Austin Green/ instagram The “Beverly Hills, 90210” actor — who also shares sons Noah, 14, Bodhi, 12, and Journey, 10, with Fox — admitted that Burgess’ return to “DWTS” has been challenging because her “schedule is a pretty packed one.” “They have a lot of stuff that they do, so it’s not the time that I’m used to [having] with her. It’s just taking getting used to. It is going OK, it’s going to be really busy for the next month and a half if she makes it all the way to the end,” the 53-year-old explained. Burgess, 41, returned to “DWTS” as a pro for the first time in five years and has been partnered up with “The Bachelorette” star Tyler Cameron. “So compartmentalize the stuff, and then when it’s done and then she has time, then it’s cool. Now we have our time back together again and it’s the same thing when I’m working,” Green added. Green (pictured above with his children) shares three sons with ex Megan Fox: Noah, 14, Bodhi, 12, and Journey, 10, as well as son Kassius Lijah Marcil-Green, 24, with ex Vanessa Marcil. brianaustingreen/Instagram Burgess and Green welcomed son Zane in 2022. brianaustingreen/Instagram However, he’s happy to “hold down the fort” at home, pointing out, “Then it’ll be the same thing when I’m gone doing something. “She’ll be holding down the fort. We are learning the trade-off of that,” he added. Green and Burgess started dating in 2020 before competing as a couple on Season 30 of “DWTS” a year later. They later welcomed their first child in 2022 and got engaged shortly after. This season, Burgess is paired with Bachelor Nation alum Tyler Cameron (as seen here competing on the show).

Green recently took to Instagram Stories to share that he was feeling “incredibly lonely,” and apologized for being a “distraction” to Burgess and her “DWTS” partner. “It’s honestly way more than I could’ve ever mentally prepared myself for. She is my partner. She is my best friend. And she’s gone,” he told his followers before lamenting about going to the movies on his own. His comments about being “lonely” were later slammed by Bachelor Nation alum Kaitlyn Bristowe — who competed on (and won!) Season 29 with pro partner Artem Chigvintsev — during a recent episode of her “Off The Vine” podcast. Recently, Green admitted he was “incredibly lonely” while Burgess (both pictured here) rehearsed for “DWTS.” Brian Austin Green/ instagram The couple (seen above) met in 2020, welcomed son Zane two years later and got engaged in 2023.

And, like, you’re spending every day with Tyler,’” she alleged. Bristowe suggested he talk to a “therapist” instead of “shaming” Burgess on his social media platform.
