Cheryl Burke Reveals Why She Legally Changed Her Name | E! News

Cheryl Burke is revealing why she legally changed her name. The Dancing with the Stars alum reveals that she legally changed her name before the start of her career and her true moniker has a layered backstory. The dance pro writes on her Tik Tok video in August of 2022, “My name is Cheryl, but my legal name until I forced my parents to change it was Stephanie.” The choreographer continues the reveal in the comment section, adding that Stephanie was given to her by my late father, Steven Burke, who died in March of 2018. Meanwhile, Cheryl, which was her legal name, is a nod to her mom, Sher Burke. And while she’s proud that her identity is tied to her loved ones, the former dance mom’s host, notes that she switched around her name due to a negative childhood experience. There was a girl in my middle school who bullied me named Stephanie. So, I decided to make my legal name Cheryl Stephanie Burke. Most recently, the dancer who had a competitive run on Dancing with the Stars as a pro from 2006 to 2022 announces that she’s returning to the ballroom floor as a guest judge for the series Halloween themed night episode on October 28th. Dancing with the Stars airs Tuesday nights on ABC and Disney Plus at 8:00 p.m. ET.
