“First and foremost, I want to send all of my love, and thoughts and healing energy to Miss Cheryl Burke,” Rigsby, 34, said in an Instagram video on Monday, September 27. “We have spoken a few times. She seems to be in good spirits and feeling well. But I have been through COVID and I know how crazy this virus can be and it can change at any moment, so just keep her in your thoughts.”

The Peloton cycling instructor also teased that this wasn’t the end of his time on the ABC show.

“The competition of Dancing With the Stars must go on. I will be competing,” he revealed. “How… is to be determined, so stay tuned.”

Rigsby’s response comes after his partner Burke, 37, documented her trip to get tested for coronavirus, which came back positive.

“I have really bad news: I am positive, which means I have COVID,” the pro said in an emotional video via Instagram on Sunday, September 26. “I just got the news now, and … I’ve been feeling progressively worse. The PCR test came back positive, and I just feel so bad.”
