The couple's unique bond was strengthened by Stewart learning American Sign Language from Durant, facilitating direct communication. This intimate learning experience contributed significantly to their growing relationship during their time as dance partners.

After their stint on the show, Durant realized he couldn't envision his life without the dancer, signaling the transition from friendship to a romantic relationship. Their conversations and mutual understanding paved the way for their current path together.

Durant's quest for the ideal ring culminated in a heartfelt moment when he found the one that resonated with his heart. Communicating through an interpreter, he expressed his certainty about the ring's destiny on her finger, a sentiment echoing the couple's destined connection.

Although Stewart eagerly accepted the proposal, there's a charming twist—the ring is currently being resized. Durant's surprise proposal meant he chose not to inquire about her ring size, leading to this humorous yet endearing situation.

Despite the temporary absence of her engagement ring, she isn't without sparkle. She’s temporarily donning a ring from Amazon while awaiting the return of her special ring, which Durant plans to personally deliver during her upcoming 'Dancing with the Stars Live 2024' tour.
