Brian Austin Green Explains His Absences From DWTS Audience

Brian Austin Green explained that he has not been in the Dancing With the Stars audience every week while his fiancée Sharna Burgess competes. He said the show has tightened rules about young children attending, which makes it difficult to bring their 4-year-old son and other kids. Green added that he still supports Burgess from home and watches her performances as she returns to the ballroom after five years away.
Green said he attended frequently early in Burgess’s season, but DWTS has tightened rules for young children. Because he and Burgess share 4-year-old Zane, and he also has older children, attending every taping is difficult.
He and Burgess plan episode by episode, and he watches from home when needed. Burgess returned after five years away and is paired with Tyler Cameron. Green once competed on season 30, placing 13th, in part to spend more time with her.
This story may resonate with parents balancing work, travel, and childcare, especially those in entertainment. Fans could see how production rules and family needs shape public support. It may also soften perceptions of Green by framing his absence as logistical rather than disengaged. For Burgess, the coverage could keep attention on her return while highlighting the couple’s off-screen priorities.
