Cheryl Burke took to Instagram and addressed their relationship break and asked her fans for some private space. Later posted about her former cheating on her; though she never mentioned who it was, her fans guessed it could be her former husband, Matthew Lawrence.

After a few struggles, the divorce was finalized in September.

Cheryl Burke's sobriety life

In 2018, she quit alcohol after getting engaged, and after two years of continuous sobriety in 2020, she revealed that her engagement was the cause for going sober. Still, the main reason was after her father's demise; she quit alcohol.

In October 2020 episode on the podcast “Pretty Messed Up,” she spoke
“I wasn't drunk, and I wasn't hungover, but it was still when I was drinking. I remember messing up on my choreography … I butchered my routine when I'm supposed to be there for the celebrity, I was self-sabotaging, and from then on I felt like my career plummeted down.”

With “Entertainment Tonight,” she called herself a sober woman with a whole new experience.
