Britt Stewart and Partner Discuss Marriage and Dance in Recent Performance
Britt Stewart, known for her expertise in ballroom dancing, was on the receiving end of marital advice from her dance partner, Daniel Durant, during a recent segment on “Dancing With the Stars.” This exchange delighted fans who recall the pair’s participation in the dance competition last year.
Durant, who competed with Stewart during season 31 of “Dancing With the Stars,” surprised audiences with his engagement to the professional dancer last December. The couple is set to wed next year. Meanwhile, Ray Roberts, who has been married for 32 years to Eliza Garrett, imparted his own advice for a successful marriage to Stewart, adding a touch of both humor and wisdom to the conversation.
During the show, Roberts quipped about the advice he offered Stewart, noting that, “We are on Disney, so I’m not gonna say his full advice.” He shared that honesty is a crucial component, highlighting how witnessing Roberts’ long marriage has come full circle for her.
The couple’s performance included a foxtrot to Al Green‘s “Let’s Stay Together,” delivered on Monday’s Soul Train Night. Roberts dedicated this heartfelt dance to his wife, who was in attendance. The judges, including a guest judge, expressed their admiration for the emotional performance. “Well, I paid him a lot of money for that,” Roberts joked in response to the judges’ comments, noting his appreciation especially from Rosie, whom he described as “really kind.”
Stewart and Durant, who developed a personal connection after the end of their competition in 2022, publicly announced their relationship on Valentine’s Day 2023. Durant, who is deaf and noted for his role in the Oscar-winning film “CODA,” is currently appearing in Deaf West’s production of Green Day’s “American Idiot” in Los Angeles.
The dance pair earned a score of 24 from the judges on this week’s performance, with additional scores pending from Tuesday night’s Hair Metal Night.
