MAFS stars Evelyn and Duncan share new details about their relationship after going public

Married At First Sight’s Evelyn Ellis and Duncan James have shared intimate details about their romance following the announcement of their new relationship.

The couple further revealed Nova’s Fitzy, Wippa and Kate Ritchiethey celebrated Mardi Gras together earlier this year and realized there was “something more.”

“Mardi Gras is quite a big event in Sydney and we danced together, nothing happened that night, but that was the first night we spent some time together as friends,” Duncan explained.

‘[That night] we realized there might be something more and over the next few weeks we hung out and at some point a kiss ensued.”

Evelyn also admitted that she found Duncan attractive when she met him on MAFS, but they only remained friends.

“It was strictly a friend zone, but when Duncan walked in I could clearly see he was attractive, but of course as a woman you need something more than a six pack and a pretty face to get to know someone.”

Duncan and Evelyn confirmed on Wednesday morning that they are dating, after months of rumors they were more than just friends.

The pair, who were recently pictured kissing and cuddling on a date night in Sydney, revealed on Wednesday that it was “exciting” and “liberating” to finally go public.

‘We have a relationship. This is [our] hard launch,” Evelyn said Nine.com.au.

“It feels good to finally just say it and it feels kind of exciting in a weird, liberating way,” Maxim’s cover girl added with a laugh.

Evelyn and Duncan’s first interview as a couple came after they were spotted in the Entertainment Quarter on April 27.

Duncan said that he and Evelyn interacted a lot as friends before romantic feelings slowly developed.

‘Yes, a weight has been lifted off the shoulders. We started hanging out after the show, you and me, living in Sydney, we started hanging out a bit more and then the warm fuzzy feelings hit the stomach and then one thing led to another,” he said.

During their date night in Moore Park last month, Evelyn showed off her famous figure in a skintight beige knit dress.

Meanwhile, Rep. Duncan looked classy in an all-black outfit.

The pair looked smitten on their night out, with Evelyn even hopping on her handsome boyfriend’s shoulders for a piggyback ride.

Daily Mail Australia revealed that the pair were officially “seeing each other” and had already been on several romantic dates.

“They’re not boyfriend or girlfriend or anything like that, but they go on dates and tell friends they’re seeing each other,” an insider said at the time.

The couple are said to be taking it easy, with a friend telling Daily Mail Australia: “They both love each other but don’t want to put a label on them just yet.”

“Mardi Gras is a pretty big event in Sydney and we were dancing together, nothing happened that night, but that was the first night we spent some time together as friends,” explains Duncan.

Rumors of a romance started swirling shortly after the MAFS final when the two were seen dancing dirty at a nightclub.

Around this time, Duncan was also pictured carrying Evelyn back to her house after a party.

He added fuel to the fire and was later seen with Evelyn’s handbag draped over his arm as they had a night out with other MAFS stars.

Evelyn and Duncan were respectively linked to Rupert Bugden and Alyssa Barmonde on MAFS this season, but both couples parted ways at final vows.
