The road to happiness had quite the bump in the road for Dancing With the Stars pro Cheryl Burke and actor Matthew Lawrence. The duo have been through a lot of ups and downs and all while having everything publicized. After a ten-year breakup, the couple eventually married in 2018, then offiically called it quits in 2022. Take a look back at some things you might not know about their on-again-off-again relationship:
13. How They Met
Back in 2006, Cheryl Burke and Boy Meets World actor Matthew Lawrence met for the very first time thanks to Matthew’s older brother, Joey Lawrence. Joey Lawrence, who starred with Matthew and their younger brother Andrew on the show Brotherly Love, competed in season three of Dancing With the Stars where he came in third with pro dancer Edyta Sliwinska and where he introduced his brother, Matthew, to Cheryl Burke, who ended up winning the season with Emmitt Smith. The pair didn’t end up dating, however, until the season tour in the fall of 2006 when Matthew went to support his brother. By early 2007, the pair had been spotted together several times and a source told PEOPLE, “They are definitely together. Cheryl is very happy.” A friend of Burke’s said, “It’s early days but I don’t think I’ve ever seen Cheryl this happy.”
