Dancing With the Stars’ Cheryl Burke Reflects on Losing Her Dad in 2018

Still in mourning. Cheryl Burke reflected on losing her father this year in an emotional tribute.

Before They Were on 'Dancing With the Stars'   
“As I sit here and reflect on this past year, I have to say that 2018 will always be the year that I will never forget,” she began a lengthy post on Instagram on Friday, December 28. “From my Dads passing in March, to getting engaged to the love of my life, [Matthew Lawrence], on my birthday and last but not least, competing in my 21st season of Dancing With the Stars with an incredible partner, [Juan Pablo Di Pace], that culminated in the ‘most shocking elimination in all 27 seasons of @dancingabc,’ this year has been a rollercoaster ride to say the least.”
