Is Ochocinco engaged to his “Dancing with the Stars” partner?
Rumors continue to flying about romantic sparks off the dance floor between Cincinnati Bengal Chad Ochocinco and Cheryl Burke, his partner on “Dancing with the Stars.”
Burke wore a gianormous ring on her finger while dancing the Paso Doble with the wide receiver Monday.
She later flashed the $10,000 rock, a gift from the Ochocinco, for Entertainment Tonight’s cameras.
“It’s a thank you. It’s a gift… a friendly gift,” Ochocinco said. “In my world we tend to give those we care about gifts.”
Burke beamed during the interview, joking that she fainted a little when Ochocinco gave her the ring on one knee.
“It’s not normal,” she laughed.
Who wouldn’t want a friend like that?

To Love Stinks: With an attitude like that - no wonder you’re so bitter. Maybe Chad is so busy with his career the only women he has time for are the kind that throw themselves at him. Cheryl is above that - I am glad he finally hooked up with a decent woman with class. Maybe he will have the best season yet next year if he has a good woman to keep him grounded!!! WHO DEY!!!!!

He isn’t engaged! That would ruin his soon to be aired dating show.

To Who Dey There are plenty of decent women in the greater Cincinnati area. He’s just too much of a play time horn dog. He needs to stick with the strip clubs and bother those girls.

This is nothing new to DWTS … when two people (star & pro) are thrown together in an exclusive life for a period of time, sparks fly. Cheryl is class but then so is Chad … albeit a different one. I’m sure if Chad got past his ego he would make a great hubby. But me thinks you are getting ahead of yourself here.

“It’s a thank you. It’s a gift… a friendly gift,” Ochoncinco said. “In my world we tend to give those we care about gifts.” Wonder what kind of 10k ‘gift’ she gave him in return?

I never understand why people are so bitter towards Chad. Dude is just having fun, and from all reports is a heck of a father. I have never seen or heard anything off the field by Chad to think his entertainment antics are the way he lives.

DWTS does this every season with one or two dance couples to boost the ratings, “supposedly”Erin Andrews is involved with her partner this season too.

Hasn’t she had an affair with every one of her dance partners so far ?. I’d be more concerned about her being unfaithful…

Totally agree with you John. I like to see people have fun and if he’s not hurting anyone or anything, why not? Love DWTS too, and he and Cheryl work well together whatever the relationship. It’s fun to watch! WHO DEY!!!

It’s a publicity stunt! People will vote for him to see the “sparks fly”. Come on, this is the entertainment industry.

Anyone else think that Macks and Erin Andrews are getting it on, too?
