Dancing With the Stars pro Sharna Burgess’ fiancé, Brian Austin Green, is the No. 1 cheerleader of her ballroom comeback.
“My guy, he’s an absolute legend,” Burgess, 41, exclusively told Us at the Tuesday, September 15, live premiere. “Brian, he runs me Epsom salt spas for when I get home. He is taking notes. He’s got food ready for me. He wakes up with me [at] my 5:30 a.m. [alarm] and makes me coffee, like he’s doing everything to hold it down at home and support.”
Burgess and Green, 53, have been together since 2020, pairing up on DWTS the next year. Burgess and the Beverly Hills, 90210 alum, who share 4-year-old son Zane, got engaged in 2023.
Burgess initially left DWTS in 2022 to spend more time with her and Green’s blended family. (In addition to Zane, Green is a father of four from previous relationships.)
As she made her highly anticipated ballroom return on Tuesday to dance with celebrity partner Tyler Cameron, Green watched from the crowd.
“He was here tonight supporting. He comes when he can,” Burgess told Us. “He’ll bring Zane when he can. He’s, just, my rock, and I’m so grateful for him.”
Burgess and Cameron, 33, earned a 17 out of 30 for their tango to Lenny Kravitz’s “Are You Gonna Go My Way.”
“We were, like, pleasantly surprised to get those 6s,” Burgess added of the duo’s total score. “We know [the judges were] going to start low, give us somewhere to go. We felt like we had a great dance, great critiques from them, all fair, but getting that higher score was just amazing.”
For Burgess, it was especially “unreal” to be back on the dance floor in itself.
“It … feels, in many ways, like I never left. Stepping back out onto this floor just feels comfortable and like home,” she gushed. “But at the same time, coming back to do this with Tyler, the show is insanely magical right now. There’s just so much around it, and being a part of it in this form is such a gift. I’m so grateful.”
She continued, “He’s the best partner I could have asked for coming into this. His work ethic, his approach as a general human, he’s just a joy to be in the room with. I adore [his fiancée], Tate [Madden]. They’re going to be in mine and Brian’s world.”
Dancing With the Stars airs on ABC and Disney+ Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET.
