Cheryl Burke took her final bow as a pro dancer on “Dancing With the Stars” Monday night – and compared the feeling of retiring to her divorce from Matthew Lawrence.
“I am overwhelmed. I’ve been trying to hold back the tears, I would say, because I wanted to really perform the best I could. Now with all of that behind me, it’s bittersweet … but I have to just trust my intuition,” Burke, 38, exclusively told Page Six in the ballroom.
“[It’s been] so hard. This is like another type of divorce, but an amicable one,” she continued.
“I do know though that I love to evolve as a human being. I think for me, I’ve done 26 seasons as a professional dancer and I know I’m more than capable to do other things as well.”
While the “Dance Moms” alum told us her current passion is raising mental health awareness, she also addressed whether she’d be down to return to the dance competition series as a judge following Len Goodman’s emotional retirement.
“I never thought in a million years I would retire the same season as Len Goodman,” she exclaimed. “Honestly, I would love to evolve within the [’DWTS’] family, but if that doesn’t happen? All good. I had to do this for me.”
