‘Dancing With the Stars’ Pro Britt Stewart Marries Season 31 Partner Daniel Durant

Dancing With the Stars pro Britt Stewart and CODA actor Daniel Durant are married.

Stewart and Durant, both 35, tied the knot in Santa Margarita, California, on Saturday, August 23. “I was never the little girl that had big dreams of a fairy-tale wedding. So when I describe our wedding, I want it to feel like an abundance of love connecting everyone there!” Stewart told People in an interview published on Wednesday, August 27.

The couple were joined by DWTS’ Derek Hough and wife Hayley Erbert — who was Stewart’s maid of honor — Julianne Hough and Alfonso Ribeiro, Jenna Johnson, Rylee Arnold, Ezra Sosa, Emma Slater, Alan Bersten, Daniella Karagach, Brandon Armstrong, Witney Carson and more. Stewart’s season 29 partner, Johnny Weir, was also in attendance and served as a bridesmaid, while Durant’s CODA costars Troy Kotsur and Marlee Matlin were on hand to celebrate.

“I never could imagine what my wedding would be like and it still feels a little bit like a dream. But it’s real. It’s happening!” Durant told the outlet. The duo described their wedding theme as “connection.”

The couple, who were paired together on season 31 of DWTS, announced their engagement in December 2023. “Ending 2023 engaged!” Stewart gushed via Instagram, sharing photos from their proposal. “I’m still pinching myself.”

Durant proposed during a Christmas Day hike in Lake Arrowhead, California, surrounded by family and friends. “We were both emotional, overwhelmed with joy and at peace knowing that this would eventually be part of our story,” Stewart told People in December 2023. “It felt like magic, but at the same time, it felt right and normal.”

Stewart’s mom and stepdad, Jasmin and Lonnie Speed, tagged along for the excursion, as did Durant’s moms, Lori Durant and Mary Engels. They all shared their hopes for the new year, with Daniel going last and getting down on one knee.

“I started talking about the year, about us meeting and everything that happens in life. I just feel like there’s balance,” he explained to People. “She sees me. She knows my culture, my language, and understands everything about me.”

The duo finished their DWTS journey in fifth place, exiting the competition in November 2022. Three months later, Stewart and the Switched at Birth alum confirmed their romance while celebrating Valentine’s Day.

In August 2023, Stewart told Us Weekly exclusively that she had “hope” that Daniel would be her “forever dance partner.”

“We still like to dance together. We got very lucky because he was able to come on the Dancing With the Stars Tour this winter. And spent two weeks with us. So that helped the transition from dancing together all the time to not,” she told Us at the time. “And then I … surprised him with a surprise tango date, which was so much fun. He absolutely loved it. And then every once in a while, his favorite dance is [the] cha cha so he’ll, like, grab me in the kitchen or I’ll grab him in the kitchen and we’ll do a [bit of the cha cha] together.”
