Singer Duncan James has reportedly entered a new romantic relationship with a stripper following his breakup with long-time partner Rodrigo Reis. Reports surfaced over the summer indicating that the Blue singer and Rodrigo had separated prior to the public announcement, leading to them unfollowing each other on social media after six years together.
During this period, sources mentioned that Duncan was concentrating on his music career to keep himself occupied. It appears that he has now moved on from the past relationship and is now involved with Alexander Roque, a performer and actor currently featured in the stage production Forbidden Nights and known for a previous appearance on Britain’s Got Talent.
An insider disclosed, “Duncan and Alex are in the early stages of their relationship, and things are progressing positively.” According to reports from The Sun, Alex accompanied Duncan to a Hollyoaks event, where they were seen deeply engrossed in each other’s company, with sources suggesting they are exploring the potential of their connection.
The Mirror has attempted to reach out to Duncan’s representatives for any comments on the matter. Duncan recently shared a picture on his Instagram Stories featuring Alexander, along with drag queen Danny Beard and Ruby O’Donnell.
While reflecting on his past, Duncan revealed how he met Rodrigo during a Blue gig in Belgium, highlighting their initial encounter at an after-party where he was instantly captivated by Rodrigo. Duncan previously expressed the challenges he faced as a gay member of a boyband, emphasizing the relief he felt when the rumors about his relationships with female celebrities were dispelled.
Acknowledging the positive impact of his relationship with Rodrigo, Duncan expressed contentment, stating, “After years of grappling with my sexuality, meeting Rodrigo brought me a sense of peace.” He also praised Rodrigo for his self-assuredness and unapologetic attitude towards his identity.
