Brian Austin Green and Sharna Burgess are getting serious.
The “Dancing with the Stars” pro told “Entertainment Tonight” that they have “built something beautiful” in six months of dating after taking things slowly at first because of COVID-19.
“It was a different way of dating,” she revealed. “We really took our time. We took four or five dates before we even kissed. It was truly about getting to know the human being because that’s where we are both at in our lives.
“I’m not really dating for fun, I’m dating for serious. I want to get to know you on the inside.”
The “Beverly Hills 90210” alum and Burgess took their romance a step further this week by attending their first public event together — Cassie Scerbo’s birthday bash benefiting Boo2Bullying.
Burgess, 36, said the party’s anti-bullying cause was especially meaningful to 47-year-old Green, who is the father of four sons — Kassius, 19, with ex Vanessa Marcil and Noah, 8, Bodhi, 6, and Journey, 4, with estranged wife Megan Fox.
“Because he also has three beautiful young boys that are in school, and a 19-year-old, and anyone who has kids would understand, you would fight for your kids to not have to go through bullying,” she explained to “ET” at the LA event on Tuesday.
“He is so passionate about doing good in the world and leaving his mark … and that is really one of the ways we connected so much is [asking], ‘What do we want to do in the world?'” Burgess added.
The couple became Instagram-official in January when Burgess shared a pic of the two of them smooching and captioned it, “Him.” They have now been dating for six months and Burgess marveled that their time together has whizzed by quickly.
Fox, who filed for divorce from Green last November, has also moved on and is currently dating rapper Machine Gun Kelly.
