Nearly one year after they said “I do,” Britt Stewart and Daniel Durant finally celebrated their nuptials with a romantic honeymoon in the Caribbean — and Us has all the details.
“It was just so amazing,” Durant, 36, told Us exclusively of their trip to Sandals Saint Vincent and the Grenadines on Tuesday, July 21. “The island was stunning. We just can’t believe that it’s real.”
Adding that “the whole time was romantic, really,” Stewart, 36, recalled a sunset dinner on the beach as a highlight of the trip, along with a relaxing spa day and one-on-one time as a couple in their “beautiful” room with a private plunge pool. Set against the backdrop of Saint Vincent’s lush rainforests and dramatic coastline, the couple took full advantage of everything Sandals had to offer for the special occasion.
After meeting as dance partners and capturing the world’s hearts on Dancing With the Stars season 31 in 2022, Stewart and Durant’s connection soon turned romantic. They announced their engagement a year later and wed in Santa Margarita, California, on August 23, 2025, surrounded by friends, family and the DWTS cast, of course.
While their busy careers prevented them from jetsetting after their wedding — “I met my season 34 partner two days after,” Stewart recalled — they jumped at the chance to take their long-awaited honeymoon this summer as they gear up to celebrate their first anniversary as husband and wife.
“Long distance is never easy for all partners, but for us, we’re really proud of each other that we can follow [our] dreams,” the CODA actor told Us. “We know that when we pick that time to be together [like] during this honeymoon, it’s this ultimate connection the whole time.”
For evidence of the strength of their connection and commitment to one another, look no further than their communication. When Stewart was initially partnered with Durant, who is deaf, on DWTS, she immediately began learning American Sign Language. As she interpreted for her husband during their joint interview, her growth in ASL and appreciation for deaf culture became clear — and their shorthand and joy in interacting with one another proved that their love is one that goes beyond language.
“My ASL journey has been amazing,” the DWTS pro told Us. “Our meeting anniversary and our wedding anniversary are almost the exact same day. My whole world changed when I met Daniel, and during that season, I was oblivious to how much my world was about to change.”
She continued: “Having this new way of expression and language has really just opened my eyes to a different community that we live next to and with. … It’s been a beautiful journey that I’m still on.”
Durant and his friends in the deaf community certainly appreciate her efforts.
“I look at her, and this who she is, Britt,” he told Us of his wife. “I love to see her with the deaf community. She has big fans there. When deaf people see her, they automatically go up to her and start to sign. And it’s not often in the deaf community that they see a pro dancer who is successful — a successful woman in this world — being able to sign. It means so much to me and the deaf community, and it makes me proud. But that’s Britt, and that’s why I love her.”
As they reflect back on their first year of marriage, Stewart pointed out that not all that much has shifted since they said “I do” — and she thinks that’s how it should be. “Not much should really change in your relationship,” she told Us. “But what I love is that marriage, for me, is also about intention. It’s our intention that we are doing life together.”
When it comes to their busy careers — Durant just wrapped up a run in the musical Elephant Shoes, while Stewart was on tour with the DWTS cast before preparing for season 35 this fall — their love is what helps keep them grounded.
“Daniel makes my life, long distance, hard moments, he just makes it easier, calm and OK,” Stewart told Us of her husband. “Yes, our lives are crazy, but when we get that time together, like these last two weeks, it’s amazing.”
Added Durant, “We just feel so full in our hearts and connected and ready to be back into the world and process that together.”
