Yahoo News MAFS star Evelyn Ellis addresses "fake" relationship rumours
Married at First Sight Australia star Evelyn Ellis has spoken out against claims that her relationship with fellow contestant Duncan James is fake.
Evelyn and Duncan both appeared during season 10 of the dating show, with romance blossoming after the cameras stopped rolling. However, the pair have since been hit with accusations that the relationship wasn't genuine — something which Evelyn has now brushed off.
The reality star was asked by a fan during an Instagram stories Q&A about her thoughts on people who believed they were pretending to be together for social media, and Evelyn responded by pretending the claims were true.
"Yep, it's true. How can anyone go for a guy like that?" she said jokingly in a video clip, before turning the camera around to reveal Duncan sat next to her.

Evelyn confirmed their relationship on social media last month, sharing a photo of the two of them alongside the caption: "The cat is out of the bag, and yes, the rumours are true… Duncan and I are officially off the market!"
She also directed followers to a joint interview with 9Entertainment that the couple 'hard launched' their relationship in.
Both Evelyn and Duncan had been in separate relationships for their time on MAFS, married to fellow contestants Rupert Budgen and Alyssa Barmonde, respectively.

"We have been welcomed as a couple in the most positive way," Evelyn said.
