They’ve been dating for months and the relationship is all but confirmed and now we have the piping hot tea on why Married at First Sight Australia 2023‘s Duncan James and Evelyn Ellis are keeping their romance under wraps.
It’s been several weeks since So Dramatic! first revealed the co-stars are now lovers, with many eagle-eyed fans reporting they’d seen the duo getting cosy out in the wild.
While their chemistry is obvious as Harrison Boon‘s red flags, it turns out Duncan and Evelyn have been sworn to secrecy. Well, for the time being, anyway.
As reported in episode 281 of the So Dramatic! podcast, one insider said the couple are under “strict instructions” to keep their romance on the down low until the show ends in the UK.
“They have been warned if they confirm it in any way, they will be punished,” the source explained.
Apparently, there’s a YUGE reward on the line if they comply.
“They’re holding the promise of attending the Logies over their heads and said they’ll be invited as long as they keep a lid on things,” they added.
“A lot is riding on the success of the series abroad.”
Sources share details about how Duncan James and Evelyn Ellis’ romance started
The Married at First Sight breakout couple had “instant chemistry” upon meeting, according to sources.
“They were both attracted to each other… They formed a deeper connection during the couple swap challenge,” one insider explained.
“Particularly because Duncan was struggling so much with Alyssa [Barmonde]. Evelyn was a shoulder to cry on and they formed a really solid and genuine friendship.”
As such, they stayed in touch after filming, “but they were speaking so much that things developed into something romantic from there”.
“They first hooked up during a drunken night out together and ever since it’s been on!” the source confirmed. “Now it’s official and they’re dating and heaps into each other.
“It’s super cute.”
Ahhh has anyone checked on Alyssa?
