MAFS EXCLUSIVE: Insider reveals Duncan and Evelyn are dating

The Married At First Sight contestants have been spotted getting cosy.

After fuelling romance rumours for the past month, MAFS’ Evelyn Ellis and Duncan James have decided to embark on a relationship. The pair’s chemistry began during their couple swap, where Evelyn directed Duncan during a sexy photoshoot.

Since the show finished airing, the couple were spotted dirty dancing in a club, and Duncan was also seen posing with one of Evelyn’s dogs. Yahoo Lifestyle can reveal the pair are now “seeing each other”, and have been quietly spending time together as well as going on dates.

“Neither of them wants to rush into anything so they’re taking things slow for now, but they’re both into each other.”

This comes after Duncan was spotted wearing what appeared to be Evelyn’s handbag while loosely draping his arm around her shoulders.

In a TikTok posted by the bride, she played a game of ‘pass the phone’ with some of the season 10 contestants, including her ex Rupert Bugden, Hugo Armstrong, Josh White, Ollie Skelton and Duncan.

When Rupert passes the phone to Duncan, he has a thin gold strap running down his chest, and Evelyn appears briefly by his side before ducking away.

Fans went wild over the footage, with many pointing out the pair were acting like a couple.

“I swear I can see his arm around her and then again when it cuts to Duncan, taking his arm off her,” one person wrote.

“Duncan is wearing her purse around his shoulder and has his arms wrapped around her,” another agreed.

“Confirm the Duncan dating rumour please,” a third chimed in.

“Love that Evelyn quickly removed herself from Duncan’s arms when he was [on] camera,” another remarked.
