TLC’s Chilli confirms she’s dating Matthew Lawrence after his divorce

She found someone who isn’t a “creep.”

TLC member Chilli confirmed Tuesday that she is dating Matthew Lawrence following his divorce from Cheryl Burke.

“I’ve been with Chilli since 2005 and I’ve never seen her this in love,” Chilli’s rep, Christal Jordan, tells Page Six. “She is glowing. They are really cute together.”

Jordan also told TMZ that the longtime friends’ relationship turned romantic just before Thanksgiving, and they ended up spending the holidays together in Atlanta.

Chilli, whose real name is Rozonda Thomas, introduced the “Boy Meets World” alum to her family over Christmas, according to the report.

The “No Scrubs” singer, 51, and Lawrence, 42, also went Instagram-official on New Year’s Eve, with Chilli posting a video of the pair dancing to A-ha’s “Take on Me” while wearing matching onesies.

The Grammy winner and the “Mrs. Doubtfire” star first sparked romance rumors when they were photographed together on a beach in Hawaii in August 2022, but her rep dismissed any hint of romance, explaining at the time that TLC had a performance on the island and the duo — then just friends — decided to link up for a day of fun with other pals.

Burke, 38, filed to dissolve her and Lawrence’s three-year marriage last February, though she listed their date of separation as Jan. 7. She cited “irreconcilable differences” as the cause of the split.

The recently retired “Dancing With the Stars” pro stated in her filing that her and the actor’s prenuptial agreement was in “full force and effect and is fully binding upon the parties.”

Following the breakup, Burke admitted she was “kind of lonely.”

The former couple finalized their divorce in September and agreed to divide their properties evenly. Neither party requested spousal support because they both opted to uphold their prenup.
