An open book! Dancing With the Stars fan-favorite Cheryl Burke didn’t hold anything back when revealing little-known facts about herself exclusively to Us Weekly.
‘Dancing With the Stars’ Season 31 on Disney+: Everything to Know
The 38-year-old professional dancer — whose divorce from ex-husband Matthew Lawrence was finalized earlier this month — candidly told Us, “It has been a year since I’ve had sex or an intimate relationship of any kind.”
Despite her split from the 42-year-old Boy Meets World alum, Burke added that she “would like to get married again someday.”
The former couple, who met after the Mrs. Doubtfire actor’s older brother, Joey Lawrence, was partnered with Burke on DWTS in 2006, called it quits earlier this year after nearly three years of marriage.
Last week, the Disney+ star — who is partnered with meteorologist Sam Champion on season 31 of DWTS — implied that she kicked Lawrence out of their house amid their split.
“Kick him out of my house ✅, Hire divorce attorney ✅ [and] file for divorce ✅,” Burke shared in the September 21 TikTok clip.
In May, the California native reflected on how she feels living alone after her breakup from Lawrence.
“I’ve lived in this home for 15 years and I’ve had lots of memories as you can imagine. It’s a new quiet in my life,” she exclusively told Us at the time. “And there are times I love it. [Then] there are times that I’m, like, really conscious about it and I’m observing my thoughts and I’m like, ‘Wow, the peace is quiet.’ I have definitely put in a lot of new energy in trying to make this kind of like my Zen.”
