Durant, 33, and Stewart, 33, met during their season 31 competition, which premiered in September 2022. Durant, who is deaf, previously praised Stewart for her quick study of American Sign Language.
“She knows how to sign, she’s learning how to sign,” he said in September 2022. “Before, my interpreter … he’d be there interpreting for us at practice, and now he fades away during practice and it’s nice. She understands me.”
The Switched at Birth alum added of the professional dancer: “She’s such a brilliant woman and she shows me her skills and it’s amazing. And she looked at me and I feel like I knew she could teach me.”
The happy couple isn’t the first to find love on the show, with Dancing With the Stars boasting a long list of couples who met in the ballroom. Brothers Val Chmerkovskiy and Maks Chmerkovskiy are married to Jenna Johnson and Peta Murgatroyd, respectively.
Val, 36, and Johnson, 28, exchanged vows in April 2019 and welcomed their son Rome in January 2023. Maks, 43, and Murgatroyd, 36, meanwhile, wed in August 2017 after welcoming their son Shai seven months prior. The dancers announced earlier this year that they are expecting their second child.
