DWTS' Chad Ochocinco Surprises Cheryl Burke With Diamond Ring
Credit: Entertainment Tonight
Chad Ochocinco really appreciates those dance lessons from Cheryl Burke.
On Monday's Dancing With the Stars, the Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver, 32, surprised her with an enormous platinum ring with diamonds. A source tells UsMagazine.com the bling, from Jason of Beverly Hills, costs more than $10,000.

Before handing her the ring, "he said, 'This is a token of my appreciation toward you!'" Burke, 25, tells Us. "At first I was like, Is this even real?"
She says none of her partners have ever given her such a fancy gift.
Heck, "not even any of my boyfriends have given me anything like this!" she tells Us. "Ochocinco likes the bling!"

How many carats?
"A lot!" he tells Us.
He says he wanted to splurge because "she has to deal with me nine hours a day. It's like a marriage, so why not give marriage gifts? I don't spend time with anyone like this -- ever!"

The two earned a 20 for their paso doble. ("The power is back, the presence is back, the determination is back!" yelped judge Bruno Tonioli.)
"The dance was amazing," Burke tells Us. "He did everything I asked for, and he really came out with confidence. This was his dance. He did great, no matter what the judges say, and he gave 100 percent. He did nothing wrong."

36WOW! Nice ring!I bought something very similar from w w w. McQueen Jewelry.kom
Don't do it Chad. It's not going to last she is just a fling. Learn from others who have met on shows man.
Ochocinto is not her type, cheryl dates white guys, this is for show and points...
Ochocinco is NOT cheryl type. he is ugly and she dates white guys, it all for show and points..wake up
Why does everyone have to hate. The man males plenty of $, If he feels like giving her a ring, give her the ring. It cost less than the fines he has to pay in the NFL and they are probably dating. It would be a good choice for him. For those who dont know how generous he is, Look into his past and you will see all the good things he has done for the Junior colleg he attended. Good guy, who gave back
They would make a cute couple. Chad is a funny, charming guy but I think he has done this to score some points with the audience, especially getting votes from the females. He is rich anyway the cost of the ring does not matter much to him but the gesture is nice. Time will tell if the dancing season is over. If indeed it is the real deal, we'll see them together. Some people say Cheryl falls for every guy she works with. If it is true, it is time to raise some bar now. She is a talented young woman she does not need to be easy.Accept the gift but let the man do the chasing if he truly wants her. Wishing Cheryl and Chad the best
they have amazing chemistry, i hope they become an official couple!! hopefully he doesn't treat her like crap like mario lopez treated karina
She is just a big slut. She sleeps with everybody and anybody she dances with! I knew the beggining of the season that he was going to get sum! Well...at least she is getting paid for it!
@ tanita, u r wrong..emmit and pat are still together"Pat and Emmitt Smith Charities (PESC) is a 501(c)(3) public charity that creates educational experiences and enrichment opportunities for underserved children. so stop trying to make something out of nothing.
He chose the finger to put it on,..I am happy for Cheryl she is the best choreographer/trainer on the show and the one with the most wins...anyway...you go girl hope it lasts...
ALL I HAVE TO SAY IS OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHERES MY RING????????????
She must be putting out. She hooks up with most of her partners.
That's a lot of dough to lay down when you're trying to get into someone's pants.... She should be insulted - then take it to a jeweler's and sell it!
He acts like he has it bad for Cheryl. I like her. Maybe they will date when the Dancing With The Stars is over.
what is it with her. except with the old man she danced with she was sleeping with .remember emmitt smith and his wife divorced his after dwts.lol
ok.. what's Mophead? and don't say the end of a mop

Aaaaawe, so sweeeeet. I want one :D
Does she not have a boyfriend? The ring is great but that is alot of money just for friendship! I think he is just a big flirt. He is not the best dancer but he is not the worse either. Kate needs to go she just can not dance!!
that i so sweet of hi...maybe Cheryl should date him...he seems like a nice guy...very sincere
