Sharna added that she had no idea that Brian was going to propose on his milestone birthday. “I knew one day, like at some point,” she said of marrying the Anger Management alum. “We talked about it all the time, but there was no rush.”

For Brian, turning 50 felt like “the start of the second half of my life,” so it was an “amazing time” to take the next steps with Sharna and propose.

“To me, it seemed like the next, easy progression,” he explained. “If you want to keep things moving forward and moving ahead, that’s just part of the step. I have this grand vision—like, at the end of it—for Sharna to be able to share a last name with all of us. That’s the end goal of all of it, so this is just part of the process.”

It’s a sentiment shared by Sharna, who said that “it means the world to me” to share a surname with the kids.

“My bonus babies and Zane, they are my babies. I wouldn’t have it any other way,” Sharna shared. “My last name will be Green…and it makes me so happy.”
