In a delightful twist of romance, Duncan James, the charming member of the iconic boy band Blue, has announced that he and his boyfriend, Alexander Roque, are taking their relationship to the next level. After eight months of love and laughter, the couple is set to move in together, and it’s giving us all the feels!
At 48, Duncan has been open about his bisexuality since 2009, but in recent years, he has embraced his identity as a proud gay man. His relationship with the dashing Roque, who is a performer with the sizzling Forbidden Nights strip show, has blossomed since they started dating late last year, following Duncan’s split from his long-term ex, Rodrigo Reis.
In a recent chat with the Daily Mail, Duncan couldn’t contain his excitement, saying, “I’m excited because it’s a new chapter of my life. I’m so happy and I’m in a really loving relationship.” And let’s not forget the family dynamics—Roque is not just a boyfriend; he’s practically family! Duncan revealed that Alex gets along famously with his mother, sharing daily banter and phone calls. “It’s just really lovely,” he gushed.
Imagine the cozy family dinners and the laughter echoing through the halls! Duncan emphasized how important it is for him to have a partner who meshes well with his family, stating, “I couldn’t be in a relationship with somebody if my mum didn’t get on with them. I’m so close to my mum.” And it seems the feeling is mutual, as he also gets along splendidly with Roque’s parents, dubbing them his “extended family.”
As they prepare to share a home, Duncan has described Roque as “a bit of a lovebug,” and we can’t help but swoon at the thought of their blossoming romance. With love in the air and family ties strengthening, this relationship is shaping up to be one for the ages.
So, here’s to Duncan and Alex—may their love continue to flourish as they embark on this exciting new chapter together! 💖
