Cheryl Burke, the seasoned professional dancer renowned for her tenure on “Dancing with the Stars,” recently dropped some bombshell revelations about her experiences behind the scenes of the hit show. In a candid podcast interview with Amy Robach and T.J. Holmes on the “Amy & T.J.” podcast, Burke peeled back the curtain on her romantic entanglements with some of her celebrity partners.
“I’ve had my own showmances, you know. It happens,” Burke disclosed, shedding light on the not-so-secret world of on-set romances that often blossom amidst the whirlwind of rehearsals and performances.
With a playful smirk, Burke revealed that she had not one, not two, but three showmances during her tenure on “Dancing with the Stars.” And while she remained tight-lipped about the identities of two of her paramours, she didn’t hesitate to spill the beans about one particular dalliance.
Chad Ochocinco, the charismatic retired NFL player and Burke’s partner during the show’s 10th season in 2010, found himself in the spotlight once again as Burke confirmed their showmance. With a hint of nostalgia, Burke reminisced about their time together on the dance floor, revealing a candid moment when Ochocinco professed his love for her on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show.”
“One of them basically professed his love to me on Ellen DeGeneres,” Burke revealed, her words tinged with fondness for her former partner. The revelation sent shockwaves through the fandom, offering a glimpse into the behind-the-scenes dynamics of the beloved dance competition.
Their chemistry on the dance floor was undeniable, propelling them to an impressive fourth-place finish in the competition. But as the glitter settled and the cameras stopped rolling, Burke and Ochocinco’s romance failed to stand the test of time.
