"OMG! So far so good for 34! #amilliontimesyes #imengaged#herecomesthebride," Cheryl captioned the picture.
Cheryl and Matthew met in 2006 through his brother Joey Lawrence, who previously competed on Dancing with the Stars.
The pair reportedly began dating in February 2007 and stayed together for about a year before calling it quits on their relationship in February 2008.
Cheryl and Matthew reconciled nearly a decade later in February 2017. In September of that year, Cheryl admitted to People she regretted letting her romance with Matthew end.
"When we first dated, we were both young and immature, and I was so new to this world," she revealed of why the relationship didn't work the first time around.

"Now we are both adults and feel balanced. He's such a great guy. He's so normal, considering we're in this crazy business," she continued of Matthew at the time. "It's so nice to be able to come home to him... He's someone I definitely do see spending the rest of my life with."
Cheryl's engagement comes just weeks after her father, Stephen Louis Burke, sadly passing away in March and she took a break from social media during the difficult time.
Cheryl joined Dancing with the Stars all the way back in Season 2 and has won two mirrorball trophies since. The brunette beauty has graced the ballroom almost every season since she began, with the exception of only a few to pursue other career interests.
