Cheryl Burke dances into a new decade. The previous Dancing with the stars pro celebrated her 40th birthday on Friday and celebrated with an epic weekend after a last minute change in plans left her in trouble.
On Sunday, Burke revealed that her party plans had changed “at the last minute” after previously planning to spend her weekend in Las Vegas. In a TikTok video, she joked about “channeling” celebrity party planner Mindy Weiss while booking vendors and securing props.
“I’m doing this all by myself,” she said in a video. “You’d think I’d have friends who would fucking care, but they don’t care. All they care about is free food, a chef, a yacht and free alcohol because they’re all drunk.”
She added: “This party is just for Instagram, let’s be honest. I won’t get an engagement anyway. I will, what? Oh, got four thousand likes.”
Whatever the case, the celebrations seemed to be a complete success.
“40 and FABULOUS…🎂,” Burke captioned an Instagram post on Saturday. He wore a sparkly bra top and matching maxi skirt with a fluffy pink coat.

“Sailing in 40 like… 🛥️🎂,” she wrote. “To celebrate this big birthday with the people who are most important to me. Thank you to everyone who has supported and loved me unconditionally over the years. Your presence is my greatest gift! 🙏🏼”

Last year, Burke opened up to ET amid a transformative time in her life following her divorce in 2022 Matthew Lawrence and leave DWTS.
“My heart is full. I am so proud of myself that I never thought I would say that to myself or about myself. But it’s about doing the work from the inside out, rather than defining yourself from the outside in,” she said at the time. “And I think, especially in this business, it’s hard, right? Because we all want that confirmation I’ll stay with you for the rest of your life. And that is an eternal journey. It’s not overnight.
