Married At First Sight star Duncan James has revealed the sweet way he made his relationship with Evelyn Ellis official.
The 38-year-old told 9Entertainment on Tuesday, about the ‘proposal’ he made to Evelyn when they became a couple.
‘We were at a restaurant in Manly. We’d been on a couple of dates… there wasn’t many people in the restaurant actually,’ he said.
‘I didn’t realise you had to officially ask someone, “Will you be my partner?”’
Duncan then popped the question and asked Evelyn whether she’d like to be his girlfriend.
‘It nearly felt like a proposal, but I was actually just proposing for someone to be my girlfriend,’ he added.
Duncan and Evelyn have been going strong since announcing they were dating in May last year.
At the time, Evelyn confirmed her relationship with fellow MAFS groom Duncan, who was paired with Alyssa Barmonde on the show.
The pair said it was ‘exhilarating’ and ‘freeing’ to finally go public after months of rumours.
‘We are in a relationship. This is our hard launch,’ Evelyn told Nine.com.au.
‘It feels good to finally just say it and it feels kind of exhilarating in a weird, freeing way,’ the Maxim cover girl added with a laugh.
In August last year, the couple took the next step in their relationship and moved in together.
