“It’s like — it made me feel good, but then it didn’t necessarily make the relationship good,” the professional dancer described the sensation of earning more than her ex.

“I had a false sense of security,” show hostess Amy Robach added. “But it’s also emasculating, and so it creates an awful dynamic.”

Cheryl went on to say that she isn’t sure she wants a partner who takes care of her in that way. She’s very independent and wants a partner who understands that.

“I want someone who wants to evolve, like, that wants to consistently and wants to, like, work on himself, be able to take accountability when needed,” the 39-year-old continued. “Because, like, you can blame all day long, but at the end of the day, you’re stuck with you for the rest of your freaking life. You better like yourself.”
