Who is Brooke Burke's fianc Scott Rigsby? Meet the Dancing with the Stars alum's future husband
TV personality Brooke Burke may be best known for her time on Dancing with the Stars, but her love live is also making headlines.
Burke, 52, recently admitted on Sex, Lies and Spray Tans that she was tempted to have a 'love affair' with Derek Hough, 38, while competing and winning Season 7 of the dance show.
It was that chemistry that led her to split and eventually divorce French singer David Charvet, 51, in 2020.
Now the fitness guru has found love again with Scott Rigsby, 55, who she's been with since 2018.
The pair announced their engagement in 2021, and have been inseparable ever since - but just who is Rigsby, and why did Burke fall for him?

Scott Rigsby works in real estate
Unlike Brooke, Scott works outside the media industry, and has been a founding partner of a real estate services firm since October 2010.
Industry Partners is a California-based firm that says it 'specializes in the representation of landlords, tenants and developers with focus on creative work environments and reuse projects'.
He also served as a vice president at Lee & Associates Commercial Real Estate Services at the company's West Los Angeles location.
Industry Partners has a small social media following on Instagram, and includes photos and videos of homes that are on the market in Los Angeles.
Scott is not active on LinkedIn, but he's been endorsed by multiple professionals, including Cresa founder Gerald 'Jerry' Porter.
Before his career in real estate took off, Scott attended the University of Arizona from 1992-1996, and graduated with a bachelor's degree in accounting and finance.
Scott has children from a previous marriage
The real-estate developer has kept his social media and personal life private, but he is known to have two children from a previous relationship - one son and one daughter, whom he shares with his ex-wife Heather LaCombe.
Scott has a private Instagram account so it's unclear if he's posted pictures of them often.
They are briefly mentioned in his Industry Partners biography, but their names and ages are unknown.
Brooke and Scott have been spotted on multiple getaways by the press. Brooke even debuted and flaunted her engagement ring while the two were on a beach vacation in 2021
He and Heather were sharing legal and joint custody of their daughter and son after their divorce was settled in 2019, and he was also paying $8,500 in monthly child support.
Whether the price has decreased or not as of 2023 has not been released to the public.
Brooke loves that Scott has children and even said so during an interview with People via DailyMail.
She said: 'He has two children and that is one of the things that I love most about him. He is really kind and responsible and devoted, so our kids are getting to know each other.'
Scott and is ex-wife's marriage ended terribly
Scott was married to the interior designer and mother of his children until 2019.
Shortly after their divorce, released documents via RadarOnline indicated that Heather was granted a domestic violence restraining order against him.
The restraining order was first filed in August 2017 for herself, their children and her boyfriend, Todd Thompson, after he allegedly threatened to send Thompson sexually explicit videos and pictures.
Scott and ex-wife Heather LaCombe share two children together. The pair got divorced in 2019, and the split itself was difficult due to accusations of abuse and assault made against Scott
'Respondent told me that he has taken videotapes of me without my knowledge while he was 'f****** me in the a**,'' Heather wrote in the legal papers.
The documents also said: 'His threat of releasing tapes particularly to someone I am seeing romantically is unacceptable and criminal.'
Heather also claimed that Scott verbally and emotionally abused her throughout their marriage, and that he verbally assaulted her during a June 2017 incident.
During the trial in 2018, their daughter testified on behalf of her mother.
She was granted a one-year restraining order set to end in 2019, and Heather does not follow Scott on any social media platforms.
