Dancing With The Stars pro dancer Sharna Burgess has shut down the comparisons between herself and boyfriend Brian Austin Green’s ex-wife Megan Fox. Sharna was linked to Brian in 2020 following his split from ex-girlfriend Tina Louise. In January 2021, Sharna and Brian confirmed they were an item via social media and their relationship has been getting stronger ever since. The couple’s romance began before he finalized his divorce from his ex-wife Megan, who is now engaged to Machine Gun Kelly.
Since Sharna and Brian started dating, they have never shied away from showing off their love for each other. The lovebirds, who were dance partners in the last season of DWTS, are set to become parents. Sharna, 36, revealed that she and Brian were expecting a baby during a Question and Answer session. The pro dancer disclosed that she conceived a child despite being on birth control pills. It is no secret that Sharna is an amazing ballroom dancer, and with her baby on the way, she has made it clear she will be an amazing mother. However, despite having a unique personality, Sharna has drawn comparisons to Brian’s ex-wife Megan.
In a recent Q&A session on her Instagram Story, Sharna was asked how she deals with “following in Megan Fox’s footsteps.” In her response, Sharna noted that she doesn’t answer such questions. However, she had just the perfect answer for it. The expectant mother said many women struggle with comparing themselves with their partners’ exes or other women in general. Sharna explained, “That’s because society has made it out that we are a bitchy and competitive gender, that we can’t be possibly be happy with who we are without wanting what ‘she’ (whomever that is you) has. We are measured by the looks and our weight more than anything else.” Eventually, Sharna answered the question about following in Megan’s footsteps by saying, “So my answer to you is simple … I don’t.”
Sharna wasn’t done then as she went on to clarify that she holds no grudges against Megan, who she referred to as an amazing woman. Sharna told her fans that the notion of following in the footsteps of their partners’ exes is dangerous. She said, “If you live by that idea then it will lead you to the same result. The relationship ending. You are a unique one of a kind woman, don’t follow in anyone’s footsteps, make your own path. Create the path YOU want.” Sharna concluded by describing women as incredible and powerful creatures who don’t need to bring others down to feel stronger. She urged women to help, respect, and lift each other up because such acts are what make them truly unstoppable.
Sharna’s inspirational post, which was made on March 7, proved to be timely given that it came a day before International Women’s Day. With the post, the Dancing With The Stars pro achieved two things. First, she shut down the comparisons between her and Megan and showed that there was no animosity between them by describing the latter as an amazing woman. Secondly, Sharna encouraged women not to compare each other but work together because doing so makes them stronger. Her message was incredibly powerful and undoubtedly impacted positively on her fans.
