Matthew Lawrence amassed an impressive net worth thanks to his work as an actor, producer, media personality, and musician.
A talented actor, Matthew landed roles in box office hits like Planes, Trains, and Automobiles and The Hot Chick. He also executive produced A Deadly Deed and The Man Behind the Camera.
Cheryl's relationship with Matthew likely marked the beginning of a new chapter for her.
Cheryl shared intimate details about her relationship history and dating patterns in a YouTube video posted in December 2020. As Cheryl explained, her first relationships were characterized by harmful dynamics and abuse. As she said, she struggled with her self-esteem throughout her adolescence and early stages of her career — but things changed when she met Matthew.
"Looking back, I honestly think that the first relationship I ever had that did not fit this abusive pattern was when my now-husband, Matt, and I dated the first time around back in 2007," Cheryl explained. "When we first dated, I didn't love myself enough to think that I deserve to be with someone [who was] nice to me. I'm just so grateful and happy that the universe really brought him back into my life when I was ready and had grown into the person I am now."
The marriage between Matthew and Cheryl was each of their first, though Matthew was previously engaged to Heidi Mueller from 2004 to 2006.
