According to Planned Parenthood , the pill works roughly 91% of the time, meaning that 9 out of 100 birth control pill users will get preggers every year. But just because Burgess happens to be one of those women, it doesn’t mean that she and BAG were never trying to have a child together.
She went on in order to share:
“We were thinking of trying mid to late this year lol. But the Universe made her own plan, found a window plus went for it.
We are big believers in everything happening for a reason. There was definitely Divine timing with this one and we are excited about it, trusting within it. We knew it was on the cards for us, so why not now.: )”
What a sweet perspective — and her face says it all! LOLz! The couple is expecting a baby boy who should arrive upon or around July 4. As Perezcious readers know, the Beverly Hills, 90210 alum currently has four children. He shares Kassius , 19, with his ex-girlfriend Vanessa Marcil and Noah , 9, Bodhi, 8, and Journey , 5, with ex-wife Megan Fox .

When asked what it has been like to “follow” in the Transformer star’s footsteps, the 36-year-old shut down that kind of talk about her feed, saying:
“ Normally, I won’ t answer these types of questions. But I think many women struggle with comparing themselves to a partners’ x. Or to other women in general. That’ s because society has made it out that we are a bitchy and competitive gender, that we can’ t be possibly be happy with who we are usually without wanting what ‘she’ (whomever that is you) has. We are measured by the looks and our weight more than anything else. ”
The ballroom dancer then slammed the notion that the girl in any way compares herself to Fox, continuing:
“This notion that you ‘follow in the footsteps’ associated with your partners [ex] is dangerous. If you live by that idea then it will lead you to the same result. The relationship ending. You are a unique one of a kind woman, don’t follow in anyone’s footsteps, make your own path. Create the path YOU want. ”
So true! They’ re exes for a reason!
