foxnews.comFormer "Dancing with the Stars" pro Cheryl Burke learned some important lessons during her marriage to Matthew Lawrence. During an appearance on the "Amy & T.J.
Podcast" with Amy Robach and T.J. Holmes, Burke explained that she has been working on healing from past relationships. Referring to Lawrence, she said, "I learned that you can't buy love." "I tried to not, obviously.
