Cheryl Burke says breadwinner status is hurting Matthew Lawrence’s marriage

Cheryl Burke‘Proves that money really does mean a lot of trouble – at least from her POV… which she says caused a lot of trouble in her marriage to Matthew Laurens.

The ‘Dancing with the Stars’ alum talked about raking in the big bucks Amy Robach And TJ Holmespodcast this week… and while she says it made her feel good to be the breadwinner between her and Matt, she admits it hasn’t done their relationship any favors.

As CB explains it, she never tried to “buy” her ex-husband, but she certainly says she has supported the family financially, which she says has fueled some tension between the couple.

Burke says she’s okay with being self-sufficient — and adds that she doesn’t really want anyone to take care of her, but does note that she’s looking for a partner to grow and evolve with… which it sounds like she doesn’t. I don’t think ML did that while they were still in custody.

She rattles off a long list of the qualities she wants in a future partner… and even though she never says it outright, you know people are wondering if she’s saying Matt didn’t meet all of those criteria.

Remember…Cheryl filed for divorce from Matthew Lawrence in 2022, after a few years of being married — and the divorce was bitter to say the least, even with the exes fighting over custody of their dog Ysabella at one point.

Matthew has since moved on… hit one super serious relationship with TLC singer Chili – one they’ve already talked about publicly marriage and children.

It looks like Burke is ready to move on as well… but it also seems like she has no problem bringing the past into the same breath. By the way, on the same pod… she says leaving ‘DWTS’ was much harder than leaving Matthew.
