MAFS stars Evelyn Ellis and Duncan James have confirmed they are dating, after months of rumours they were more than just friends.
The pair, who were recently pictured kissing and cuddling on a date night in Sydney, revealed on Wednesday it was ‘exhilarating’ and ‘freeing’ to finally go public.
‘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.
Evelyn and Duncan’s first interview as a couple comes after they were spotted getting frisky in the Entertainment Quarter on April 27.

Duncan said he and Evelyn had been hanging out together a lot as friends before romantic feelings slowly developed.
‘Yeah, it’s a weight off the shoulders. We started hanging out a little bit after the show, you and me, living in Sydney, we hung out a bit more and then the warm, fuzzy feelings happened in the stomach and then one thing led to another,’ he said.
While on their date night in Moore Park last month, Evelyn showed off her famous figure in a slinky beige knit dress.

Adding fuel to the fire, he was later seen with Evelyn’s handbag draped over his arm while they were on a night out with other MAFS stars.
