The 28-year-old Olympian and former Dancing With The Stars champ met up with Maksim and Peta at Gracias Madre for a bite to eat ahead of the Stars on Ice tour stop in Anaheim this weekend.
“I’m in the process of starting my own foundation,” Meryl recently dished to Vera Bradley. “It’s a big undertaking and it’s all come about quite quickly. Getting that off the ground and allowing myself to figure out what my other “next step” might be are my focus right now (besides enjoying all the skating we’re able to do)!”
The 27-year-old Olympic ice dancer, along with partner Meryl Davis, opened up about his upcoming nuptials to fellow ice dancer Tanith, which are happening on April 25th.
“What Tanith and I like to say and what were focusing on the most…is having all our friends and family be in one room with us,” Charlie shared about his wedding.
Meryl added, “It’s amazing! We’ve [Tanith and I] become closer friends as the years have gone by, and I am honored to be a part of their wedding. Certainly, I have been a part of Charlie’s life for a really long time, and Tanith, as Charlie has been my family, has also become my family.”

The 28-year-old Olympic ice dancer chatted with Glamour before the special aired on ABC TODAY (February 21) about her friendship with Maks.
“We obviously became incredibly close during the show and sort of coming away from that experience where we were no longer spending every day together, it was interesting to sort of to continue to grow our friendship in a different capacity,” she shared.
Meryl added, “I absolutely love him, and he’s an incredible person. We have this friendship that I have no doubt in my mind is a life-long friendship. Getting a chance to know him away from training for Dancing With the Stars, I think we’ve gotten a chance to know each other in a different way, which of course just makes you closer.”

Just a few days before, Meryl reflected on how amazing her 2014 was: “2014…. Everything I could have hoped for. I will look back on this, a most memorable year, with gratitude, love, and a just a little bit more wisdom than before. This year I learned that life’s beauty is right there in front of us, ready to expand our lungs, fill our hearts, and hold our proverbial hands as we continue on our life’s journey. In victory or in defeat, in times of prosperity or of hardship, it’s the love we have for this chance to live, love and laugh that will fill the pages of our own stories. Wishing everyone a beautiful 2015.”
