Cheryl Burke Dating Matthew Lawren

Posted by Deanna Couras Goodson Feb 16, 2007

Cheryl Burke has appeared on two seasons of ABC’s smash reality-hit Dancing with the Stars. The 22 year old dancing diva, who is of Filipino/Irish/Russian descent, won both of the seasons she was on. No other dancer worldwide has repeated that feat. (DWTS franchises air in other countries such as Argentina, Brazil, Croatia, Ecuador, Germany, Israel, New Zealand, Norway, Spain and Sweden.)

First, she was paired up with Drew Lachey (and made headlines with a short-lived romance with his big brother, Nick – post-Jessica, of course). Then, she and Emmitt Smith hoofed their way to the top in Season Three.

Now, Burke has found love with another castmate’s brother. This time, Burke is dating Matthew Lawrence (27). He’s the younger brother of Joey Lawrence. Joey was partnered with Edyta Sliwinska and finished in third place during Season Three.

People magazine reports that “They are definitely together,” and “Cheryl is very happy.” Apparently, the two didn’t start hanging out together until the DWTS tour started. They were spotted dancing at the Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa after the tour wrapped up in Atlantic City. Later on, Cheryl supposedly ordered a cake, champagne and strawberries to be delivered to her room. The cake said “Happy Birthday Matt.”
