Cheryl Burke isnβt dancing around the truth.
The 41-year-old recently opened up about the intimate part of life following her divorce from Matthew Lawrence in 2022.
βI need to heal still in that sense,β Burke told Us Weekly.
The pair first met in 2006 and began a romance that lasted two years. After going their separate ways, Burke and Lawrence, 45, reunited in 2017. They got engaged in 2018 and tied the knot a year later.
The former βDancing With the Starsβ pro said about being the breadwinner: βI learned that you canβt buy love.β
Now, being single has been a positive for Burke.
βI touch myself all the time,β she admitted. βItβs great. We are good to go. Thereβs no emotional baggage that comes with it.β
Last year, Burke opened up about her choice to be celibate.
The decision has led toΒ βa lot more self-love and self-respect and self-worth,β sheΒ told UsΒ at the time.
βI love that Iβve grown so much and that Iβm doing it consciously and with an intention,β the podcast host shared, noting that other people act like sheβs βspeaking a different languageβ when she brings up her celibacy.
βI am on thatΒ MyaΒ train,β Burke said, referring to the Grammy-winning singer, 45, who also revealed she had been celibate for seven years. βGo, Mya.β
As of now, the author isnβt looking to dive back into love.
βIt will happen when it happens,β elaborated Burke. βWhen my energy shifts, then I know if it does happen, Iβm ready. Iβm not in a rush.β
The ballroom starΒ filed for divorceΒ from the βBoy Meets Worldβ vet in February 2022 after nearly threeΒ years of marriage.
Lawrence is now in a relationship with TLCβsΒ Chili.
In 2023, Burke explained just what led to the downfall of their marriage.
βThereβs boundaries, right? Like, I have boundaries. All of that got kind of, I guess, foggy because I didnβt really know who I was as a person,β she told The Post at the time. βBut I did know that even back then, that this just doesnβt feel right. It didnβt feel right. I knew that this wasnβt [right], whether itβs because of me evolving or him evolving or us evolving, but not together. It was important to, first of all, try, which we did.β
Burke claimed she and Lawrence βdid it allβ to make their relationship work.
βWe did try. We were in therapy,β she detailed. βYou know what? This isnβt what it was. And to walk away with no shame and to walk away with my head held up high was something that Iβm proud of to this day. Because itβs not ever fun to say that youβre divorced in your thirties and Iβm not the cookie-cutter social norm when it comes to married [with] kids and happily ever after.β
Burke added, βItβs just β thatβs not my story and thatβs okay. And I think being able to forgive myself and to just go with my gut and trust myself is a really big step for me.β
Lawrence, for his part, shared with Entertainment Tonight in 2023 that the divorceΒ βtestedβ him.
βAnd I learned so much about myself, and Iβm so thankful and blessed for the opportunity to grow and thatβs what came out of it,β the actor told the outlet.
