Brooke Burke-Charvet on Aging: ‘The 40s Are a Reality Check’

“Dancing with the Stars” host Brooke Burke-Charvet graces the April cover of Health magazine, discussing her relationship with husband David Charvet and how she is gracefully handling the aging process.

Burke-Charvet explained to the mag, “The 40s are a reality check… I would like to slow down my aging process, but I don’t want to look like a pumpkin, all swollen! You have to embrace Mother Nature a little. I’m a woman. I’m a wife. I’m a mother of four. I don’t want to look like a 25-year-old anymore. I want to be my best healthy self.”

On prioritizing her relationship with husband David, Brooke said, “In our house, with four kids, it’s tough to remember we’re a couple, not just people’s parents! We try to have a regular date night, but sometimes it doesn’t happen, so we make sure we connect every week.”

The TV personality also talked about her recent battle with thyroid cancer. “I got a second and a third opinion. I want to say this delicately, but doctors are human beings. In the end, I had 10 biopsies.”
