The ‘Dancing With the Stars’ Family Showed Their Full Support of Stewart & Durant’s Relationship in the Comments Section of the Post

Several of Stewart’s ballroom pro colleagues and friends commented on the post, showing their support for the newest relationship to come out of the dance competition show.

“I love you both,” Witney Carson wrote.

“This is just the post of the day baby!!!” added Emma Slater.

“Hot,” Alan Bersten said.

Other DWTS pros that found their way to the comments section include Lindsay Arnold, Daniella Karagach, Peta Murgatroyd, and Cheryl Burke.

Stewart and Durant built a strong bond while competing together on season 31 of “Dancing With the Stars.” They faced different challenges from the other competitors since Durant is deaf.

“He exceeds my expectations every single week. He has this internal metronome that is so fantastic. So many people can’t believe that he’s deaf or forget that he’s deaf because he tends to be on the music the majority of the time,” Stewart told KTLA 5 Morning News in October 2022.

The pair was eliminated during the semi-finals.

I’m so proud of Daniel for bringing such a radiant and contagious energy to the @dwtstourofficial stage and everything he does in life! He makes any space he’s in feel full and bright. I’m really so grateful that the whole #TeamSignToShine was able to experience tour and share our hearts with all of you! I will always cherish those memories,” she captioned the post.
