As part of a sweet Valentine's Day tribute, both stars took to Instagram to launch the news. The duo bonded as dance partners on the latest installment of the dance reality competition and have now taken their chemistry on stage from reel to real life.

The CODA actor posted a picture with Britt beside the waterfront and called her "My Valentine." While the choreographer posted a short snippet of the couple dancing to Montell Fish's Fall in Love with You in front of a screen filled with art.

Daniel and Britt aren't the only ones who found love on DWTS. Over the years, many who have appeared on the show have found love, married, and had children.
