Dancing with the Stars pro dancer Cheryl Burke has reportedly filed for divorce from her husband Matthew Lawrence after less than three years of marriage. The pair first met in 2006, when Matthew’s brother Joey competed on DWTS.

TMZ reports that Burke filed for divorce last week at a Los Angeles courthouse, citing irreconcilable differences. The documents reportedly list the date of separation for the couple as January 7. The site also notes that the couple has a prenuptial agreement.
Matthew Lawrence is a well-known actor, along with his brothers Joey and Andrew. They starred together on a series called Brotherly Love in the 1990s. Matthew also appeared in the movie Mrs. Doubtfire and on the series Boy Meets World.
Matthew’s brother Joey competed on Season 3 of Dancing with the Stars, finishing in third place with Edyta Śliwińska. Burke won that season with her partner Emmitt Smith. She and Matthew started dating the next year. They eventually broke up in 2008, but they reconnected in 2017 and tied the knot in May 2019. The couple has no kids together.
