Why Cheryl Burke Says Being a “Breadwinner” Put Strain on Matthew Lawrence Marriage

Cheryl finalized her divorce with Matthew, 44, in 2022. In court documents previously obtained by E! News, the Dance Moms coach agreed to uphold her premarital agreement, with neither parties receiving spousal support.

While Matthew has since moved on romantically with TLC singer Rozonda “Chilli” Thomas, Cheryl is taking her time before jumping into a serious relationship. In fact, she has a few dealbreakers for potential suitors.

“I want someone who wants to evolve, that wants to consistently work on himself, be able to take accountability when needed,” she said during her appearance on Amy & T.J. “You can blame all day long, but at the end of the day, you’re stuck with you for the rest of your freaking life. You better like yourself.”
