'DWTS' star Cheryl Burke files for divorce from Matthew Lawrence
Cheryl Burke has filed for divorce from Matthew Lawrence after more than two and a half years of marriage.
The "Dancing With the Stars" pro listed irreconcilable differences as the reason for divorce and given Jan. 7 as the date of separation, according to court documents.
Burke, 37, and Lawrence, 42, became engaged in May 2018 and married in May 2019.
The couple first met when Lawrence's brother, Joey Lawrence, was a contestant on "DWTS." They briefly dated and reunited years later.
Burke called the "Boy Meets World" actor her "rock" in a 2020 interview with "Good Morning America" when discussing her sobriety journey.
"I don't know where I would be without him," she said at the time.
Burke revealed she gave up drinking at her and Lawrence's engagement party. She attributed the decision to watching her late father fight and overcome alcoholism.
While the couple had no children, they do share a dog together, Ysabella, aka Ysa, which Lawrence gifted Burke on their first wedding anniversary.
