Cheryl Burke opened up about her feelings regarding her ex-husband, Matthew Lawrence, and his new relationship with TLC’s Rozanda ‘Chilli’ Thomas.
The “Dancing with the Stars” alum shared she wasn’t at all surprised to hear Lawrence wants kids with Chilli, reports us weekly.
He elaborated on the subject during a conversation in “The most dramatic podcast ever with Chris Harrison” which aired just a week after Lawrence announced his desire to start a family with Chilli.
“He comes from a big family and there were definitely conversations (about that when we were together),” Burke said on Thursday’s episode of the podcast. “But I’ve always said, ‘As long as I have to put my body in a dance costume, thinking about being pregnant is probably not something I can talk about right now.’ But yes, there were discussions about freezing my eggs,” she added.
Burke also mentioned that he is a fan of TLC and will continue to sing “No Scrubs” but will not be attending any TLC concerts anytime soon.
As for her ex-husband, Burke said: “I really wish him the best. … I really, really hope that she can have a child with Chilli. I think that’s amazing. I think he wanted that.”
Burke and Lawrence filed for divorce in February 2022, after three years of marriage, citing “irreconcilable differences.”
Lawrence, 43, and Chilli, 52, confirmed their relationship the following January.
The Mrs. The “Doubtfire” and “Boy Meets World” actor opened up about his previous relationship woes in an interview with ET. “I ended up getting involved with people that I was trying to please and make happy,” Lawrence admitted, going on to say that she felt like she couldn’t make someone else happy on her own.
“You can love someone to death, and you can be in a toxic relationship and it can get out of control and ruin both of your lives. It works? Trust and respect,” she added.
Burke also responded to those comments, telling Chris Harrison: “If that’s what it was like for him, that’s fine, but that doesn’t mean it was like that for me. … Life is a choice.”
