Brooke Burke Says She Woke up Crying on What Would Have Been Her Wedding Day

“Dancing With the Stars” alum Brooke Burke is in a long-term relationship with Scott Rigsby, and the couple has been engaged since September 2021. They should have celebrated their wedding day last week, but had to make the tough decision to postpone, and now Burke is opening up about why they did that.

Brooke Burke’s Wedding Date Had To Be Postponed

In an interview with Page Six on May 28, which was published on June 4, Burke was asked about her wedding day, and she revealed that it was meant to be that day. She confirmed that “actually no one knew,” that they had confirmed the date, but they were filled with sadness about not having the ceremony. “Today when I woke up, we were both, like, [crying],” she told Page Six. “We have been so busy. We built a home in Arizona. We blended our family. We moved in together [in Malibu]. We had the fires and then the fires again and the floods.”

Burke also discussed how the last few years had been “weird” for her and Rigsby, and that after being engaged for almost four years, she felt it was “almost embarrassing” when people ask about when she will get married. She doesn’t want to stay engaged forever. It is not just her fans who are curious about their wedding, but even their children. Burke confirmed that she and Rigsby would like to have their wedding before the end of 2025.

When Will Brooke Burke Get Married?

The topic of wedding planning has been something Burke has been asked about several times in the last few weeks. In an interview with People on June 3, she commented again on her upcoming nuptials. She also revealed why May 28 was so special to her (so could 2026 be the year she says “I do?”).

“I had a really weird wish — because I’m a little bit weird — to get married on 5/28, which is the frequency of love,” she told People. The publication reports that the “love frequency” is often thought to be 528 Hz.

Burke again commented on how they had been busy and the date had to be pushed back again. But she teased, “We gotta do it next year.” The actress referred to herself as being “slow” to get married, but when she does, it’s going to be a memorable occasion. “It’s got to be big,” she told People. “That’s why it hasn’t happened yet.”

She continued, “We want to do something different and innovative and show people how to make a difference. But it’s not just about writing checks, it’s about having fun, telling your story, living out loud, participating. Generational philanthropy. Nobody’s talking about that.”
