Look, Brian Austin Green just did something that honestly surprised me – he actually gave a straight answer about how long Sharna Burgess is going to be gone for the Dancing With the Stars tour. And I mean a real answer, not the usual celebrity dodge.

It’s Not As Bad As You’d Think

Green sat down to promote his appearance on Fox’s Celebrity Name That Time (which aired Monday, October 12, if you’re keeping track) and dropped the details everyone’s been wondering about. The DWTS tour isn’t happening until 2027, which already buys them some breathing room. But here’s the kicker – Burgess is only doing two weeks total. One week in February, one week in March. Green's not the only one making tough calls about the tour schedule – Pasha Pashkov Says His DWTS Tour Hiatus Is Overdue after years of nonstop performance.

That’s it. Two weeks.

Now, if you’ve been following this whole thing, you know Green, 53, has been pretty open about struggling with Burgess’ crazy schedule during season 35. The guy wasn’t shy about it. He talked about how demanding the show is, how much time it takes, how hard it’s been juggling everything at home. So when he says his 41-year-old fiancée is only committing to two weeks on tour? That feels… deliberate. Smart, actually.

Because She Should Do It

And Green gets it. He really does. “She’s doing one week in February and one week in March. Just to go and do it,” he told Us. “Because she loves dancing and she absolutely should experience the fan reaction because she’s loved and people love the fact that she’s back, so she should go do it.”

I mean, that’s the kind of support you want from a partner, right? He’s not saying “don’t go” or making her feel guilty. He’s saying go, do your thing, soak it up. The fans have been loving Burgess’ return to DWTS this season – she’s been away from the show, and her comeback has been a whole moment. So yeah, she should get out there and feel that energy in person.

But Let’s Be Real About What This Schedule Means

Two weeks spread across two months is a compromise. That’s what this is. It’s Burgess getting to do what she loves without completely upending their household for months on end. Because DWTS tours can be brutal – they’re not just a week here and there, they’re typically these multi-city marathons that eat up huge chunks of time.

The thing is, Green and Burgess have kids to think about. They’ve got a whole life they’re building together. And after what sounds like a pretty intense season 35 (Green even addressed why he hasn’t been showing up in the audience much, which… yeah, that tells you something about how stretched thin they’ve been), this feels like they’ve actually talked through what works for their family.

“She loves dancing and she absolutely should experience the fan reaction because she’s loved and people love the fact that she’s back.”

The Pattern Here Actually Matters

What’s interesting – and honestly kind of refreshing – is how transparent Green’s been through this whole process. He’s not pretending everything’s perfect or that celebrity schedules don’t create real stress. He’s just… saying it. “Yeah, this is hard. Yeah, we’re figuring it out. Yeah, she’s only doing two weeks because that’s what makes sense right now.”

That’s not how most celebrity couples handle this stuff. Usually you get the polished “we’re so supportive of each other’s dreams” line and then six months later there’s a breakup announcement. Green and Burgess seem to be actually working through the logistics in real time, in public, without pretending it’s all effortless.

What This Actually Tells Us

So Burgess is doing the tour, but she’s doing it on her terms. Two weeks. Enough to be part of it, not enough to derail everything else. And Green’s supportive, but he’s also been honest about the fact that this schedule has been a lot.

I don’t know, maybe I’m reading too much into it, but this feels like what happens when two people actually communicate instead of just hoping everything works out. They’re engaged, they’re building something, and they’re making decisions that reflect that. Not every opportunity has to be seized fully. Sometimes you take a bite and move on.

The tour starts in February. Burgess will be there for a week, then back home, then gone again in March for another week. And then she’s done. Green knows exactly when she’s leaving and when she’s coming back. That’s probably more than a lot of people in their situation can say.
