Safeguarding the Sanctity of Family Life

Resisting the Lure of Reality TV

Burgess revealed that her blended family, which includes her fiancé Brian Austin Green's children from previous relationships, has garnered significant interest from media outlets and production companies. However, the dancer firmly believes that subjecting her family to the scrutiny of a reality show would be detrimental to her children's well-being. "We've had people interested and I get why," she shares. "There's so much that I'm sure people would love to know about what happens in our household and having such a busy chaotic life, and it's fun but it's also just not me."Burgess acknowledges the potential appeal of a reality show, but her priority is to shield her children from the negative attention that often accompanies public exposure. "The attention is just not healthy for our kids and it's certainly not Brian's style either," she explains. The dancer's experience in the entertainment industry has given her a unique perspective on the challenges of navigating the public eye, and she is determined to protect her family's privacy.

Navigating the Challenges of Blended Families

Burgess and her fiancé, Brian Austin Green, have faced their fair share of scrutiny and criticism regarding their blended family. The dancer recounts the absurd rumors and accusations that have been leveled against them, such as claims that she is "forcing Zane to be a girl" because she hasn't cut his hair. These unfounded allegations highlight the need for Burgess and Green to maintain a protective stance when it comes to their children."I don't understand it," Burgess laments. "So imagine us doing an actual reality show. The attention is just not healthy for our kids and it's certainly not Brian's style either." The dancer's commitment to shielding her family from the glare of the public eye is a testament to her dedication as a parent and her desire to foster a nurturing environment for her children.

Embracing the Positive Aspects of Public Life

Despite her reservations about exposing her family to the public, Burgess acknowledges the positive experiences her children have had with their high-profile parents. She notes that the children's peers at school are already aware of their parents' celebrity status, and the community has been welcoming and supportive."Kids at school already know who their parents are, and luckily we're in a beautiful community and everyone has known them for years and they don't get any negativity at school," Burgess shares. This suggests that the family has found a delicate balance between their public personas and their private lives, allowing their children to thrive in a supportive environment.Burgess, however, remains steadfast in her decision to keep her family's personal life out of the public eye. "I'm happy to share what I wanna share what I think is helpful — we do on the podcast — but my home is sacred and my family is sacred and I wanna protect that as much as possible," she affirms.The dancer's commitment to preserving the sanctity of her family's privacy is a testament to her values as a parent and her desire to create a nurturing environment for her children. By resisting the temptation of reality TV and carefully managing their public exposure, Burgess and her family are setting an example of how to navigate the challenges of blended families in the public eye.
