Rebound relationships get a bad rap, but matchmaker Susan Trombetti thinks that Matthew Lawrence and Rozonda “Chilli” Thomas have a good foundation. “When it comes to Chilli and Matthew’s compatibility, they were friends for a while, so that bodes well,” said Trombetti. “While I don’t believe people should look for a best friend as a main quality in their romantic relationship, it does help to be friends first.” Trombetti also approves of their “whirlwind relationship.” She added, “It’s been about a year since Cheryl Burke filed for divorce, and the two of them know each other well, so I love the idea for many reasons.”
Trombetti thinks that their history as ’90s stars is an asset to their relationship. “This is nothing new to them and they have had time to watch fame ebb and flow, so adjusting to this life with each other will not be problematic because it’s nothing new,” she said. Trombetti also cited Thomas’ dating history, which includes R&B star Usher, as a reason why her relationship with Lawrence will work. “At this point, I am sure she knows what she needs and wants without a doubt and she must know it’s him.” For Lawrence’s part, he brings life experience to the relationship. Overall, Trombetti loves the pairing.
