Britt Stewart, a professional dancer on "Dancing with the Stars," and actor Daniel Durant have announced their engagement, adding festive joy to their holiday celebrations. In a tender moment captured against the serene backdrop of Lake Arrowhead, California, they shared their engagement with the world.

The first image reveals the couple in a warm embrace, with Stewart's hand delicately showcasing the new symbol of their commitment—the infinity band sparkler. The second image is a heartfelt snapshot of their love, the newly engaged couple sealed with a kiss that promises forever.

They also shared their engagement details in an interview, unveiling the moment Durant popped the question during a family hike on Christmas Day. Reaching the summit, he took his turn to express gratitude and his aspirations for the future with his beloved. In a heartfelt moment, he presented the ring and proposed, revealing his deep connection to her understanding of his culture and language.

The proposal was a poignant moment for both, filled with overwhelming joy and a sense of rightness about their shared future. Stewart described the experience as magical, feeling both extraordinary and naturally fitting for their relationship.

Stewart and Durant's journey began as dance partners on "Dancing with the Stars," securing fifth place in the 31st season. Their romantic relationship blossomed post-competition and was publicly announced on Valentine’s Day of 2023.

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.

Looking ahead, the couple envisions a wedding surrounded by close family and friends, a celebration of their life and love. For now, they are content to revel in their engagement, taking pleasure in each step of their journey together.

The proposal came with a ring as unique as their love story, as Durant chose an infinity band sparkler to embody their perpetual devotion. The symbolism behind the ring's design resonates deeply with the couple, reflecting their personal sign for "I love you forever with infinity."

Stewart sees the ring as a testament to his perception of their love and their bond. It's not just an ornament but a representation of their unity and understanding.

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.

The wave of warm wishes for the couple's engagement is overwhelming, with fans expressing their joy and adoration for their love story on social media. One fan shared the sentiment perfectly, exclaiming that it’s “the best love story ever!” Another expressed gratitude that Durant found someone who “uplifts him, loves him fully, and brings out his best self.”

Another fan revealed she has “literally never cried” over two people “falling in love and getting engaged” when she has never met them, but Stewart and Durant’s story became an exception. One follower emphasized the destined nature of their relationship, stating it was “meant to be!!!”

As the stars embark on this new chapter, they do so with the love and support of a community that has been deeply touched by their love story, sharing in their joy and looking forward to their happily ever after.
