Are Cheryl Burke and Matthew Lawrence getting divorced?

Lawrence and Burke filed for divorce in February 2022, citing irreconcilable differences.

Burke opened up in an interview on Tamron Hall in May, saying she and Lawrence had tried to make their marriage work before filing for divorce, including couple’s therapy.

“I’m a huge advocate for therapy,” she told Hall. “I truly believe in it. Matt and I, we definitely, we were in couple’s therapy, even before our marriage. I think people associate therapy with like, ‘Oh my god, there’s a problem.'”

She continued: “We definitely did try. People evolve. People grow. And sometimes they grow together and sometimes they, unfortunately, grow apart.”
