While Burke didn’t feel the need to keep these relationships secret, she refrained from disclosing the names of all her showmance partners, except for one. She mentioned former pro football player Chad Ochocinco Johnson, with whom she shared a romantic connection during season 10. Burke recalled how Johnson had expressed his love for her on Ellen DeGeneres’ show, and although they had exchanged gifts like a $10,000 ring, she clarified that they were not engaged.

During her time on the show, Burke had three showmances in total. She explained that the intense and intimate nature of ballroom dancing, coupled with spending seven days a week together, often led to strong emotional connections between partners. Despite attempts to turn one of these romances into something serious, it didn’t work out as expected.
