Married At First Sight groom Duncan James hinted on Wednesday he may soon pop the question to girlfriend of two years Evelyn Ellis.
The happy couple, who began a romance shortly after filming ended for their season of the show in 2023, revealed the news to Daily Mail at the ARIA Awards.
The cybersecurity expert, 39, who wore a black suit for the occasion, said his partner, 29, had already hinted at what she wanted her engagement ring to look like.
‘There are always plans. You just have to be sure the girl will actually say yes before you go ahead and do it because it can be career ending,’ Duncan joked.
‘She has told me the type of diamond shape she likes. A few hints and nudges there. I feel like boys need that sometimes from their partner.’
It comes several months after Evelyn opened up about her relationship with Duncan, revealing if marriage is on the cards for the reality TV couple next year.

Evelyn and Duncan have been together for over two years, sharing milestone moments and behind the scenes glimpses of their life together on social media.
However, the former Big Brother star took to Instagram to answer a commonly asked question about her relationship with Duncan: Is a wedding on the cards in 2026?
‘It’s definitely one of the more frequently asked questions today, I think I got like a hundred wedding questions,’ she revealed in an Instagram Story.
‘I don’t know, I don’t know what’s happening in the future.’
She then made a shock confession about marrying her long-time beau, revealing that it seemed like ‘the most stressful thing ever’.
‘Just right now I think every woman has a vision in mind but to be completely honest with you, this whole wedding situation and planning a wedding, it sounds very, very stressful,’ she said.
Evelyn then admitted she had something a little bit more timely on her mind.
‘I’m just trying to plan my 30th right now,’ she confessed.

‘But I’d love to hear from you guys about planning a wedding because that sounds like the most stressful thing ever, it sounds so expensive, there’s so much pressure around it, I’m just like, argh I don’t know,’ she added.
Evelyn and Duncan recently celebrated their two-year anniversary in style, stepping out for a romantic evening in April.
Taking to Instagram, Duncan posted a sweet message alongside a series of glam snaps with Evelyn.
‘Two years of loving you. Which is 730 days, and approximately 1,051,200 minutes of putting up with each other,’ he wrote. ‘Thank you, for being you.’
Evelyn cheekily responded in the comments with, ‘We still got it!’ proving the spark is very much alive between the fan-favourite couple.
The anniversary marks a major milestone for the MAFS couple, who were originally paired with different partners on the Channel Nine reality show before forming a connection after filming wrapped.
Duncan and Evelyn have been going strong since announcing they were dating in May 2023.
