San Francisco is where Burke was reared and was born. Burke went to Menlo-Atherton High. She is Filipino.
Burke published her memoir, Dancing Lessons, in 2011. She recounts how a handyman who worked for her family routinely fondled her when she was 5 years old and abused her.
The same individual, eventually identified as Gerry Depaula, also mistreated her sister. She thought it was wrong at the moment, but she also craved his love.
Burke, who was just six years old when he testified against Depaula, received a 24-year jail term as a result. In 2008, he was freed. Burke admitted that Depaula gives her anxiety.
Outside of Dancing with the Stars, Burke has promoted a variety of products, such as Sargento Cheese, Depend Silhouette briefs, and Impress Nails.
