Matthew Lawrence officially started Chilli following his divorce from Cheryl Burke.
The TLC singer, whose real name is Rozonda Thomas, and the actor started dating in November 2022, shortly after her representative claimed they were just friends. By New Year’s, they were already in love.
Lawrence began his relationship with Chilli after Burke confirmed their split in February 2022. According to their divorce papers, they separated on January 7, 2022.
Burke mentioned “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for the breakup and accused Lawrence of cruelty for insisting on a custody trial over their dog, Ysabella.
As Lawrence and Chilli went Instagram official on New Year’s Eve 2022, Burke gave her followers an update on how she was coping following the tough year.
“I made it through the year that did everything it could to try and break me, and there were a lot of moments where I thought I would break, but here I AM,” the dancer wrote on December 31. “2022 was a year filled with the most ups, downs & heartbreak (if I’m being honest) that I have ever experienced, but I wouldn’t be who or where I am today without those life experiences … I’m eager to move forward, to no longer be defined by my past, and SO ready to start the next chapter of my life. 2023, LET’S SHOW ‘EM HOW IT’S DONE!”
