Professional dancer Sharna Burgess wasn't trying to get pregnant when she discovered that she and boyfriend Brian Austin Green are expecting. During a recent fan Q&A on Instagram, the Dancing With the Stars pro explained how her pregnancy came as a big surprise to her and Brian — and that Mother Nature clearly had her own plans for them.
Sharna recently shared the happy news with her followers
On February 16, she announced on Instagram that she and Brian are going to be having their first baby together. The 36-year-old shared a black-and-white photo of her growing belly as it was being touched by five hands (hers included).
"And suddenly my world would never be the same. Forever greater, forever expanded and deeper," she captioned her post. "Forever abundant and unconditional."
While Sharna said the news is thrilling, it came as a shock
One of Sharna's followers asked her if she and Brian had been trying for a baby when she found out she was pregnant, and Sharna revealed that it had actually been quite the opposite.
"I was on birth control," she responded. "We were thinking of trying mid to late this year lol. But the Universe made her own plan, found a window, and went for it."
Still, it sounds like she has no complaints about the way things worked out!
Brian and Sharna have a similar life philosophy when it comes to major surprises like these
The couple, who first sparked dating rumors at the end of 2020, have a very "go-with-the-flow" approach to life. "We are big believers in everything happening for a reason," the expectant mom went on to explain. "There was definitely divine timing with this one, and we are excited about it, trusting in it. We knew it was in the cards for us, so why not now?"
That's a great mindset, and an especially good way to approach such a major (and unexpected) life change.
Though this will be their first baby together, Sharna and Brian are already parenting pros
The couple doesn't have to contend with any first-time-parent jitters — they've both been through this before. Brian has three kids with ex-wife Megan Fox — 9-year-old Noah Shannon, 8-year-old Bodhi Ransom, and 5-year-old Journey River — and Sharna has a 19-year-old son named Kassius from a previous relationship.
The two are definitely in good shape to welcome their new baby (another boy!) in July.
Sharna and Brian are very eager to meet their new bundle of joy
Still, Sharna — who revealed that she was 23 weeks along on Tuesday — seems to be savoring every moment of her unexpected pregnancy.
"Pregnancy is wild, and I am loving every second of watching, observing and admiring the magic that is happening," she wrote, adding that even when it's hard, she can't help but be amazed by the "magic" that's happening inside of her.
We hope her pregnancy continues to be full of wonder and that it doesn't pass by too quickly for her.
