Fans told former “Dancing With the Stars” pro Cheryl Burke to “move on” after she mentioned her ex-boyfriend in a July 17 Instagram post.

Burke, 39, posted several pictures of herself. In the first photo, she smiled while wearing eye masks and holding a reusable cup.

“Me when my ex cheated on me,” she captioned the first slide.

She used the same picture and then wrote, “Me the 6x I made the top 3 on DWTS but didn’t win.”

Then the last slide showed a picture of her crying and she said, “Me when Starbucks is out of matcha on Uber Eats.”

Some fans in the comment section on Instagram told Burke that she needed to heal from her past relationship.

“You need to move on from your ex,” reads one of the most popular comments. “He didn’t and doesn’t want you. So why bother mentioning him on your social media page?”

“You seem desperate for attention at this point,” a second person wrote. “Move on and get yourself in a place of peace.”

“Your last picture shows you wearing your wedding ring and yo are still talking about the breakup,” a third social media user wrote. “It’s time to let it go and move forward.”

Burke joined ABC’s “Dancing with the Stars” in 2006, when she was 21 years old. She was the first female professional to win the Mirror Ball trophy, and the first professional to win twice and consecutively.

After 26 seasons, Burke quit the competition series in November 2022, after the season 31 finale. “This has truly been the experience of a lifetime,” she wrote in an Instagram post at the time.

Who Was Cheryl Burke Talking About?

Because she didn’t name an “ex” in her caption, it’s unclear who Burke was talking about in her Instagram post.

But in August 2022, she posted on TikTok a video in which she also alluded to a cheating ex.

“When he said he would never talk to her again yet I found text messages, viagra, and a necklace hidden in a pair of his shoes,” the former “DWTS” pro said. “The last time is absolutely right!”

Some fans on TikTok wrote that she might be referring to her ex-husband, Matthew Lawrence.

Burke and Lawrence met in 2006 when his brother, Joey Lawrence, competed on “DWTS,” according to US Weekly. They briefly dated after that, according to People, and then reconnected in 2017, became engaged in 2018 and were married in 2019.

But after three years of marriage, they announced their divorce in February 2022, per the outlet.

Matthew Lawrence Is Dating Someone Else

Since Lawrence’s split from Burke, the “Boy Meets World” star confirmed he’s dating Chilli from TLC, also known as Rozonda Thomas.

Lawrence said he was open to marrying the “No Scrubs” star.

“With marriage comes kids and that’s kind of the order that we’ve discussed anything like that,” Lawrence, 43, told E! News in a story published July 14. “So if that was the future, that’s the future. That would be an amazing future, if that was the case.”

According to Thomas, they haven’t had an argument. “To this day we have not had one argument,” she told People. “I’m like, ‘Matthew, it’s gonna happen one day, cause we’re going to be together forever.'”

As for Burke, she said she was open to a relationship but is not seeking one. “If the right guy comes along, so be it. But I am not searching,” Burke told E! News. “I’m not on a dating app, let’s put it that way.”
