Dancing With the Stars has seen its fair share of rumors over the years, even as the show prepares to enter its 35th season on the 2026 TV schedule. The cast (both past and present) has dealt with the rumor mill quite a lot. Sometimes it turns out to be real, such as a showmance turning real or a potential pro or celebrity contestant joining after much speculation. Other times rumors turn out false, such as a pro leaving the show. Former pro Sharna Burgess is now squashing one rumor about herself, specifically her relationship.

Burgess is no stranger to dealing with rumors, particularly revolving around why she didn’t return to Dancing With the Stars following Season 30 and her relationship with Brian Austin Green. This latest rumor has to do with the latter. Burgess got engaged to the Beverly Hills, 90210 star in 2023, and the two have been taking their time tying the knot. Many believed the pair was one step closer following a picture Burgess herself posted on Instagram in June. And given her caption, I can understand why. Check it out below:

Posting a photo of you and your beau kissing at a beautiful location is one thing, but saying that the wedding venue has been found is another. Not surprisingly, people were wondering what was going on with Burgess and Green, and the dancer has set the record straight.

While appearing on Jana Kramer’s Wine Down podcast, Burgess explained that they were on vacation in Ireland and went to Adair Manor, and it’s “just dreamy.” Burgess told Green that it was the best wedding location ever, even though “it’s probably half a million dollars just for the day.”

Of course, it wasn’t set in stone right then and there, with Burgess noting that if they could swing it, then they’d do it. But she just loved taking a bunch of photos at the location, and wanted to post them on Instagram. One picture was going to have the caption, “Wedding location vibes.” Ultimately, the site crashed, and she couldn’t upload it. When she was eventually able to post it, she captioned the photo, “Wedding location found.” It turned into a whole thing, as she put it:

And then suddenly, the whole internet thinks that I’ve booked a damn manor. But listen, get this: my auntie in Australia left me a voice note, and she was like, ‘Sharna May, it’s a bit far. It’s a bit far for all of us to travel for your wedding.’ She was livid. ‘What are you talking about?’ I’m like, ‘Auntie Chris, I’m so sorry. It’s not actually happening in Ireland.’ So we have not, as of yet, booked a location for our wedding. We have so much going on. We always do.

Honestly, I can see where the mistake is made. Even though Burgess’ own family thought she had truly chosen the wedding venue without letting anyone know and the logistics, at least she was able to clear it up. For now, it seems like Adair Manor is not in the cards for the Burgess and Green wedding, but she’s not counting it out just yet. The wedding isn’t exactly a top priority for them since they are pretty busy, but who knows? If anything, at least this rumor has been debunked. The DWTS cast have taken on some challenges, and rumors are just part of it, unfortunately.
