“You never know going into something like this how well it’s going to work out. You don’t know if there’s going to be any resistance,” he says of adding another child to the family. “Not only has there not been any resistance, it’s been so embraced and loved.”

While Green is no stranger to the world of parenting, this is Burgess’s first go-around as a mom.
“She loves being a mom, it’s so amazing to watch,” says Green. “It’s amazing to watch somebody that so enjoys being a mom and then so enjoys and embraces being a parent.”
“She’s an amazing human being and I’m so lucky to be sharing my life with her,” he continues. “She’s an absolute blessing and I love her to death and the kids love her to death and Zane loves her to death and it’s just a love fest over here.”
Green’s love for his family is a major factor in why he prioritizes his health — and hopes to inspire other men to do the same with Depend’s Stand Strong for Men’s Health initiative.
The initiative, which benefits theProstate Cancer Foundation, aims to fight the stigmas associated with prostate cancer and wellness screenings for men as well as encourage men to take charge of their health.
“With as many kids as I have and my age and the fact that I have ulcerative colitis, it’s just really important at this point in my life to do these annual screenings,” says Green. “I did a PSA [prostate-specific antigen] test recently. For the next year now, I can sit back a little bit and breathe easier.”
He adds of the partnership, “It’s this concept of getting men to be proactive and really doing it for themselves and for their family or the people that are around them that love them and want them here as long as they can possibly have them here.”
