Sharna Burgess is ready to be a mom again.
The Dancing With the Stars alum—who shares son Zane, 2, with fiancé Brian Austin Green—shared that she has every intention of adding another baby to her family.
'I do totally want to go through this again,' she said during the May 6 episode of the Money Rehab podcast. 'This year is crazy, but I'm going to put out there that hopefully, maybe the end of next year, we're looking at getting pregnant.'
Sharna, 39, added that she'd like to get the ball rolling sooner rather than later.
'Even though my eggs are fine and medicine's wonderful,' she continued, 'I want to be as young as I can possibly be.'
Additionally, the professional dancer—who is stepmom to Brian's kids Noah, 12, Bodhi, 11, and Journey, 8, with ex Megan Fox as well as Kassius, 23, with ex Vanessa Marcil—said she plans to use in-vitro fertilization (IVF) in hopes of welcoming a baby girl.

'I think we'll do gender selection and do IVF because [Brian is] five for five on boys,' Sharna noted. 'Who's gonna take a chance on that?'
And with the couple prioritizing the expansion of their family, Sharna revealed they're putting their wedding plans on hold as a result.for The Global Gaming League
'I don't want to be pregnant [at the wedding] and I don't really want to be in the first six or nine months postpartum,' she explained. 'My body is still stitching itself back together and, hormonally, I'm still trying to find my balance. So the wedding is probably about two years away, but hopefully there's another little one.'
In the past, Sharna has credited her role as stepmom to Brian's older kids as a vital step in preparing her to become a mom herself.
'I got to test out motherhood with these guys,' she said during an appearance on the Quite Frankly podcast in April 2023. 'I had a beautiful experience before having Zane. I did learn to trust my instinct. It was such a gift to have them in my life in that period before Zane.'

Breakfast In Bed
Brian Austin Green enjoyed a lazy morning snuggled up with kids Noah, born in 2012, Bodhi, born in 2014, and Journey, born in 2016, who he shares with ex Megan Fox.
Swimming In Smiles
After Brian and Megan split in 2020, the Beverly Hills, 90210 alum found love with his Dancing with the Stars pro partner Sharna Burgess. The two welcomed son Zane in 2022, and announced their engagement the following year.
Cuddle Corral
Sharna sharing a tender moment with Zane and his older siblings.
Girl Dad
Meanwhile, Machine Gun Kelly—whose real name is Colson Baker—welcomed daughter Casie with ex Emma Cannon in 2009. He went on to get engaged to Megan in 2023.
Special Occasions
Despite her commitment to co-parenting, Megan has said it's not always a walk in the park. 'It's hard to not feel obligated to be with them all the time or to constantly feel like I'm not doing a good enough job,' she admitted to Glamour UK in 2022, 'but I'm also separated from their father. So, I can only have them half of the time. That just is what it is.'
Christmas Card
Brian's blended family includes his son Kassius, 22, whom he shares with ex Vanessa Marcil. The actor posed with Sharna and all five of his kids for a festive family photo in December 2023.
The Look of Love
For Megan, motherhood keeps her grounded. "When I step back, I know how connected I am and I've always been and how present I've always been,' she told Sports Illustrated Swimsuit in 2023. 'I see the reflection of the type of mother that I am in their eyes and in their behavior."
Three's Company
In 2022, the Jennifer's Body star posted a rare photo alongside the "Emo Girl" singer and his daughter, taken at his 27 Club Coffee shop in Ohio.
Musical Prodigy
The hitmaker turns to his daughter for advice on his music. "I trust her opinion more than I trust my own now," he said on The Kelly Clarkson Show in 2021. "Like, she has her finger on the pulse of what's hot, or if I'm doing a song and it's the right one, she'll confirm it."
Mama Bear
In honor of Mother's Day 2024, Brian paid a loving tribute to Sharna. "You are an incredible mother and fiancée," he wrote on Instagram, "and we all love you to death."
Bookworm
Megan rarely features Journey and his siblings on social media—for one very good reason. "I knew when they were very young, I wanted to try to protect them however I could, especially limiting their exposure to the internet," she told Glamour UK in 2022. "So far, we've done a really good job and we maintain their innocence in a lot of ways, but I know I can't protect them forever."
Co-Parenting Pros
Brian's golden rule for co-parenting? Picking his battles. "People make a mistake of thinking that they're gonna do things so the separation doesn't affect the kids," he told E! News in 2024. "Of course it's gonna affect the kids. The only choice you have is how it affects the kids."
Keeping the Peace
Likewise, Megan makes a point not to speak ill of her kids' father around them. "I don't let anything in my energy like that when I'm around my kids," she said on The Drew Barrymore Show in 2023, "because if I don't accept and love their father, I'm rejecting a part of them, because he's a part of who they are always.
Pool Day
Brian snapped a pic of his brood having some fun in the sun in Malibu, captioning the Instagram post, "Great day!!"
Kicking the Habit
MGK—pictured with Casie at the Kids' Choice Awards in 2019—credited his daughter with helping him get clean after she told him she knew when he was high. "That was step one for me," the musician, who has been sober since August 2023, said on the Million Dollaz Worth of Game podcast. "As a father and as a man, to be the father I wish my dad would have been, I have to break this generational curse for my kid."
Stepmom Supreme
Sharna has thanked Brian's kids for preparing her to be a mom. "I got to test out motherhood with these guys," she said on the Quite Frankly podcast in 2023. "I got to learn things and grow with them, about parenting and understanding kids ... and knowing, 'Oh my God, I think I can be really good at that.'"
Past Their Bedtime
In 2020, Brian was a celebrity contestant on The Masked Singer. "I was super excited for my kids to watch it with me," he wrote on Instagram, but "they fell asleep after 15 min."
Helping Hand
No job is too big for the TV star and his mini-mes.
More to Come?
While Brian revealed he got a vasectomy eight weeks after Zane was born, that doesn't mean he couldn't have it reversed down the road. "If we have the space and the ability to, would we love to? I certainly would," Sharna said on the Oldish podcast in January. "But we do have four young kids in the home and life is very, very busy."
The Family Grows Again
On March 27, 2025, Megan and MGK welcomed the newest member of their blended family: a baby girl, who arrived into the world with her own original score composed by the rocker and his musical pals including Travis Barker.
"She's finally here," MGK exclaimed in a post on Instagram, "our little celestial seed."
They Scream for Ice Cream
Brian and Sharna enjoyed a sweet treat and some sweet laughs with Zion, Noah, Bodhi and Journey in April 2025.
Just Hanging
MGK spent quality time with his oldest daughter Casie shortly after announcing the birth of his and Megan's baby girl.

What Are Nara Smith and Lucky Blue Smith's Net Worths
If you've ever wondered how much you could potentially make if you quit your job and started making Cinnamon Toast Crunch from scratch while dressed in couture, the answer is a lot. At least based on Nara Smith, who—despite being labeled as a "tradwife"—is undeniably the breadwinner (and breadmaker, obviously) in her marriage to Lucky Blue Smith. Though, to be clear, they're both insanely rich. Time to dig in. Much like I want to dig into Nara's homemade boba recipe. At least according to Celebrity Net Worth, who accurately notes that Lucky's been modeling for literal years—and has worked on some major brand campaigns. Celebrity Net Worth reports that Nara has $6 million in the bank—largely amassed from her TikTok earnings and influencing career. In other words, her net worth is six times Lucky's. So, how does Nara make her money? Per Yahoo, TikTok pays $0.50-$1.00 per 1,000 views on videos over 1 minute through their Creator Rewards program. Which definitely adds up when you have millions of followers and your videos are near-constantly going viral. The outlet estimates that Nara makes around $200,000 a month from TikTok based on her following and the popularity of her videos (which is 11.8 million as of now). This intel also falls in line with a deep dive that a fellow TikToker did into her earnings last March (though they note that $200k a month is conservative and it's possible Nara is making double that): Either way, TikTok isn't Nara's only revenue stream. She also works with multiple high end brands at the moment—including Chanel and Burberry. But her most creative ad to-date has to be for Marc Jacobs—where she "made" a handbag in her signature recipe style. Vogue did a deep dive on the ad's impact, noting that it "generated $966,000 in media impact value (MIV) on TikTok, and $285,000 on Instagram" in just the first 48 hours of publishing. Apparently this is a "MIV 149 times that of an average Marc Jacobs influencer TikTok post; and 44 times the Instagram average." In other words, the ad was hugely impactful—and it's fair to say Nara got paid accordingly. FYI, Nara (who's currently pregnant with her fourth child) spoke to Who What Wear about her career and why she's pushing back about the "tradwife" label—especially as she and Lucky split responsibilities around their home. "I'm a working mom. I take care of kids," she said. "I split the responsibility with Lucky. Our household is very 50/50. We try to figure out the kids while both of us work. It's very much this jigsaw puzzle that we're trying to work through every single day. Being labeled as [a tradwife], that just didn't fit. I didn't want this narrative out there that I'm just at home slaving away. I'm not a tradwife. I'm a working mom, and I love cooking, and I have a passion for cooking for my husband, for my kids. Cooking is my love language. I love taking care of people in that way."

Elton John, Bob Dylan, John Stamos, John Cusack and More Pay Tribute to Brian Wilson: 'The Maestro Has Passed'
Stars are mourning the death of Brian Wilson after it was announced on Wednesday that he died. He was 82. The family of Wilson, who was a founding member of The Beach Boys, confirmed his death on Instagram, writing: 'We are heartbroken to announce that our beloved father Brian Wilson has passed away. We are at a loss for words right now. Please respect our privacy at this time as our family is grieving. We realize that we are sharing our grief with the world. Love & Mercy.' More from The Hollywood Reporter The Beach Boys Remember Brian Wilson: "He Was the Soul of Our Sound" Ananda Lewis, Former MTV VJ and TV Show Host, Dies at 52 R. Kelly Seeks Release From Prison, Claiming Officers Tried to Have Him Killed by Fellow Inmate Soon after the news broke, celebrities took to social media to share their condolences. Elton John took to Instagram Wednesday, calling Wilson 'the biggest influence on my songwriting ever.' 'Brian Wilson was always so kind to me from the day I met him,' John said. 'He sang 'Someone Saved My Life Tonight' at a tribute concert in 2003, and it was an extraordinary moment for me. I played on his solo records, he sang on my album, The Union, and even performed for my AIDS Foundation.' I grew to love him as a person,' John continued. 'He was a musical genius and revolutionary. He changed the goalposts when it came to writing songs and shaped music forever. A true giant.' Bob Dylan posted his condolences on X as well. 'Heard the sad news about Brian today and thought about all the years I've been listening to him and admiring his genius,' Dylan wrote. 'Rest in peace dear Brian.' John Stamos, who has performed with The Beach Boys, including their appearances on his hit sitcom Full House, shared a tribute on Instagram, which reads in part: 'Brian Wilson didn't just soundtrack my life…he filled it with color, with wonder, with some of the most unforgettable, emotional, joyful moments I've ever known. It's hard to put into words what it meant to stand beside him, laugh with him, play his music with him. Brian wasn't just a musical genius, he was a gentle, soulful, funny, complex, beautiful man. He heard things no one else could hear. He felt things deeper than most of us ever will. And somehow, he turned all of that into music that wrapped itself around the world and made us all feel less alone. I grew up worshipping the Beach Boys, never imagining one day I'd get to play with them, let alone call Brian a friend.' John Cusack, who played Wilson in the biopic Love & Mercy, said in a statement to The Hollywood Reporter, 'The maestro has passed — Brian was a raw open heart with two legs — and an ear that heard the angels — quite literally. He was touched. To see him so happy with his wife Melinda — finally talking about and performing his unfinished masterpiece Smile, (after the release of the astounding Smile sessions) — to hear him be so open about the depth of his struggles so that the telling of his story might help others and take away the stigma of mental health — was to see a triumph of endurance and spirit, love and Mercy.' Love & Mercy director Bill Pohlad also said in a statement to THR, 'Brian was a true genius and I was honored to have gotten to know him a bit in the making of LOVE & MERCY. What an extraordinary artist! I will miss his presence on this earth. So many of his songs come to mind when I think of him. GOD ONLY KNOWS WHAT I'D BE WITH OUT (him).' Nancy Sinatra shared on Instagram: 'His cherished music will live forever as he travels through the Universe and beyond. God bless you, sweet Brian. One of the biggest thrills of my life was singing 'California Girls' with Brian.' The Beach Boys themselves shared a tribute on Instagram, writing in part, 'Brian Wilson wasn't just the heart of The Beach Boys — he was the soul of our sound. The melodies he dreamed up and the emotions he poured into every note changed the course of music forever. His unparalleled talent and unique spirit created the soundtrack of so many lives around the globe, including our own. Together, we gave the world the American dream of optimism, joy, and a sense of freedom — music that made people feel good, made them believe in summer and endless possibilities.' Actor Wendell Pierce wrote on X: 'Brian Wilson RIP 82 years old Troubled life Gotta put on Love & Mercy …I was lying in my room And the news came on TV A lotta people out there hurtin' And it really scares me Love and mercy, that's what you need tonight Love and mercy to you and your friends tonight…' Ronnie Wood, a member of the Rolling Stones, also wrote on X: 'Oh no Brian Wilson and Sly Stone in one week ~ my world is in mourning. So sad.' Lucian Grainge, Chairman and CEO of Universal Music Group, said in a statement: 'Brian Wilson was one of the most talented singer-songwriters in the history of recorded music. Not only did his songs capture the spirit of youth, joy and longing in ways that still inspire millions of fans around the world, his innovative work in the studio transformed the way musicians record even to this day. Brian made an indelible mark, and our thoughts are with his family in this time of loss.' See the tributes below.
