“I have really bad news: I am positive, which means I have COVID,” the pro, 37, said in a Sunday, September 26, Instagram video taken from behind the wheel. “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.”

The California native began to cry, saying, “I feel so bad for [my partner], Cody [Rigsby], I feel like I’m letting him down. I just feel like s–t to be quite honest, and it’s so overwhelming because it’s Sunday and the show’s tomorrow. … I just hope I didn’t spread it. For those of you who don’t think COVID is a real thing, it’s f–king real, dude. … I don’t know what to say. I’ll be in bed. God, I can’t believe this happened.”

The dancer also filmed herself driving to get her test and describing her symptoms. “Not only do I feel scared and at a loss for words, I do feel run-down a little bit,” Burke told her Instagram followers. “And I feel really sad, because I don’t want to let Cody down. Our freaking salsa was so good.”

It is unclear what the I Can Do That alum’s news will mean for Rigsby’s future on season 30 of the show, and the Peloton cycling instructor, 34, has yet to publicly comment. ABC will address the situation during the live Monday, September 27, episode. In the past, when a pro is forced to leave the show due to injury, a new professional dancer has been provided. However, it is unclear what the protocols are this season amid the pandemic.

The pair performed a tango last week, scoring 24 out of 40. “Can we talk about @cherylburke?!?” Rigsby gushed via Instagram at the time. “How amazing is my @dancingabc partner ? Boos send her some love.”

“He has family members that struggle with addiction, and he is such a huge mental health advocate,” the Dance Moms star wrote on September 20. “I know a lot of people say that his classes really got them through the pandemic, which is amazing. We both practice meditation and mindfulness and have deep conversations off the dance floor already so I am super lucky to have his support.”

Red Carpet Date! Sophia Bush and Grant Hughes Attend WHCA Dinner

Finding The One! Sophia Bush has kept her romance with Grant Hughes relatively private since the pair were first spotted together in Malibu in May 2020. However, the FocusMotion Health founder has shared a few photos of the couple. Ever since landing the role of Brooke Davis on One Tree Hill in 2003, Bush’s personal life has made headlines. That is something that the actress and activist has intentionally changed, she explained in June 2021. “It’s hard to have nothing that’s yours. And when you are a person who lives in the public eye, everybody wants to pick over everything and that can be really tricky,” the False Positive actress told Entertainment Tonight at the time. “I also grew up in the early aughts when girls were raked over the coals for any choices that they made. And I just was like, ‘I don’t think I like this.’ I didn’t like having my private life lied about. There were times where someone would send through an article and be like, ‘Well, supposedly you’re dating t...
