Durant and Stewart met when they were partnered for season 31 of “Dancing With the Stars.” Durant is dear, and Stewart quickly began learning American Sign Language in order to communicate with him directly. Fans were quick to see the sparks between the couple and began begging them to start dating early on during the season.
Fans Have Been Hoping the Couple Would Get Together
During the “Dancing With the Stars” season, some fans hoped the couple would take their relationship to the next level.
“I hate dwts showmances, but I fully approve on Daniel and Britt becoming a thing,” one comment reads on a Reddit thread from November 2022 reads. “They’re so freaking adorable. Him teaching her ASL and her teaching him dance is total relationship goals. The way that Britt stares at Daniel whenever he’s talking during an interview.”
They added that they get “Nikki [Bella] and Artem [Chigvintsev] vibes.” Chigvintsev and Bella met while they were partners on “Dancing With the Stars,” and they now are married and share a child. Their romance didn’t start during their time on the show, however, as Bella was engaged to John Cena at the time.
The couple announced their relationship unofficially at a live show on February 11, 2023. A fan took a video of the moment, but it cut off before anything was officially confirmed.
In the video, Durant signs, “Oh, I wanted to go back to the other question when you asked if anyone was dating.”
Durant’s interpreter, Gabriel Gomez’s voice can be heard interpreting, but the video cuts off before Durant announces the relationship, and fans say that’s what happened next.
Until now, there has been no acknowledgment about their personal relationship other than telling their fans that they are close friends.
“Dancing With the Stars” is set to return in the fall of 2023 on Disney+.
