Tell me how it feels to be coming off of a very big season of Dancing with the stars?

It's amazing! I cannot believe that Rob and I came in second place, that's huge! Even making it into the finals is a big deal. I feel like we won even coming in second. It was such an amazing season and it was so great to be apart of someone's life and watch it transform, like Rob's did.


Do you feel that you have had more breakout success than other Dancing with the Stars instructors have had in the past?

Everyone benefits from the show. I definitely feel like it has opened up some doors. It's awesome to be able to be apart of this line. Ideology is such a great line of products. I used to shop at Macy's when I was a little girl, I never thought I would be the face of one of their clothing lines, let alone their fitness line. It's such a shocker to me to really see how DWTS has helped my career. I'm so thankful for everything that has come my way.


Was important to you to partner with a retailer like Macy's that is affordable, easily accessible and family friendly?

Absolutely. They are very family friendly. This line in particular is just for women. I feel so good in the line. I'm a curvy woman, I've got hips and I feel like other women who feel like they can't wear certain clothes. With this line in particular there is something for every woman.


How would you sum up working with Rob Kardashian this season?

He is the one partner I've had who I feel really transformed his whole life. He came into this season with not the best reputation to now people saying "Wow this kid has heart and talent" and to be able to be apart of someone's growth is a huge honor.


What next for you Cheryl?

Well this clothing line is such a big deal and it's happening right now. I've got other endorsement deals. I did have a book that came out and hopefully I will be apart of next season.
