Cheryl Burke Boyfriend: ‘Dancing With The Stars’ Pro Has A New Love


Dancing with the Stars fans shouldn’t watch for any hints of a showmance between Cheryl Burke and Antonio Sabato Jr. this season. Though the two may showcase some serious chemistry on the dance floor, the hunky General Hospital alum is married. As it happens, the DWTS pro isn’t single these days either. What’s the scoop?

While Burke has faced challenges over the years finding her Mr. Right, it seems that her new romance may have some serious potential. Just who is Cheryl Burke’s boyfriend? Apparently a long-time friendship has transitioned into something more. Cheryl’s new man is named JT Torregiani, and Burke isn’t the first lady in the public eye he has dated.

Cheryl and JT have known one another for about a decade, People reports, but their friendship turned into a romance this past summer. If Torregiani’s name or picture seem to ring a bell, there is a good reason. He used to date singer Paula Abdul. He also has worked with Eva Longoria on her restaurant Beso.

Torregiani is touted as an entrepreneur as well as a restaurant and nightclub owner. JT and Cheryl have been dating for a couple of months, and he’s already made his way to the Dancing with the Stars audience to watch her dance with Antonio. Cheryl gushes that he is “super supportive” and she “couldn’t ask for anyone better.” The two are sharing quite a few pictures via social media lately as well.

Though Cheryl and JT have only been dating for a couple of months, she admits that they are “attached at the hip right now.” She shares that they are definitely in the stage of wanting to be together as often as possible. Though it may be getting serious fairly quickly now that the relationship is romantic, it seems the two have apparently been in the same social circles for quite some time now.

Could JT Torregiani be the guy for Cheryl Burke? This one does seem to have some potential. The DWTS star has had a few other high-profile relationships, but nothing has lasted all that long. She once dated Matthew Lawrence, the brother of former Dancing with the Stars contestant Joey Lawrence.

Burke also dated hockey player Joffrey Lupul and Cougar Town star Josh Hopkins not long ago. She also had been rumored to have a particularly friendly relationship with former DWTS pro Maksim Chmerkovskiy during some of the earlier seasons of the show.

As for Antonio Sabato Jr., as People notes he is currently married to Cheryl Moana Marie Nunes. The two met in 2009 and got married in 2012. While DWTS fans are always looking for an opportunity for romance to blossom between couples on this show, it looks like everybody can knock Cheryl and Antonio off the list of possibilities. Tune in to Dancing with the Stars airing Monday nights on ABC to see the couple dance and see if Cheryl Burke’s boyfriend JT Torregiani happens to be in the audience.
