Sharna Burgess Felt ‘Emotional’ Finally Becoming a U.S. Citizen: ‘I Found My Tribe Here’
07.10.2022 - 19:11 / usmagazine.com
As Sharna Burgess continues to build her career and family in the United States, she has officially become a citizen.
“Today something really amazing happened :),” the Dancing With the Stars pro, 37, captioned a Thursday, October 6, Instagram post, sharing footage from the ceremony. “I had no idea that this would feel emotional for me. This has been my home for nearly 12 years now. My son was born here, my life and love and career — all here. And yet this last step of becoming a citizen and finally having the same rights as all Americans felt so important.”
Burgess, who hails from Australia, had left her home country at the age of 18 to pursue a career as a professional dancer.

Afraid of staying in one place and also craving the security of it,” she wrote on Thursday. “But then, America slowly became my permanent home. Eventually I found my tribe here, I bought a home here, I fell in love here, I birthed my son here.”
Amid her thriving dance career, the Burn the Floor alum found a romantic connection with Brian Austin Green in December 2020.
“There’s been discussions over the time that we’ve been together of stuff we like and that we would want, and we are endgame,” Burgess previously told Us Weekly in March of her relationship with the 49-year-old Beverly Hills, 90210 alum. “So, it is definitely on the cards at some point, but we weren’t that kind of relationship [in the first place] that was like, ‘So we’ll get married here and then we’ll schedule in a baby for
