Duncan James has found love again just months after splitting from his long-term partner Rodrigo Reis. The 46-year-old Blue singer, who rose to fame in the early 2000s with hits like All Rise and One Love, is said to be dating Alexander Roque, a performer from the UK’s popular strip and dance show Forbidden Nights.
The pair’s blossoming relationship was revealed after they were seen attending a Hollyoaks cast party together, where onlookers noticed their affectionate behaviour and strong chemistry. Duncan, who previously starred in the Channel 4 soap as Ryan Knight, was reportedly beaming throughout the evening, looking happier than he has in a long time.
A source told The Sun: “It’s early days for Duncan and Alex but things are going really well. Alex went to the Hollyoaks party with him and they looked to be obsessed with each other. They’re just having fun and seeing where things go.”
The romance marks a new beginning for Duncan, whose split from Rodrigo Reis earlier this year ended a six-year relationship. Despite describing the breakup as amicable, the singer admitted it took him time to heal emotionally. Friends close to him have said they’re delighted to see him “smiling again” and moving forward with his life.
Alexander Roque, Duncan’s new flame, is a well-known face among fans of Forbidden Nights, the hit live show combining dance, acrobatics, and strip routines that tours across the UK. The group, made up of professional performers and athletes, is known for its energetic, empowering, and cheeky performances.

According to insiders, Duncan and Alexander met through mutual friends in the entertainment scene and instantly hit it off. Their connection grew naturally, and they’ve since been spotted enjoying several nights out together in London. Those close to Duncan say Alexander has been a positive influence, bringing new energy and confidence into his life.
Fans of the singer have been quick to share their support online, flooding social media with positive messages and well-wishes. “Duncan deserves happiness,” one fan wrote. “He’s been through a lot, and it’s great to see him smiling again.” Another added, “Love is love, and it’s beautiful to see him glowing!”
Since coming out publicly in 2010, Duncan has been open about his journey with sexuality and identity, becoming a proud advocate for LGBTQ+ representation in British entertainment. Over the years, he has spoken candidly about the challenges of being a gay man in the spotlight, as well as the support he’s received from fans and fellow artists.
Beyond his romantic life, Duncan has remained active in both music and television. Blue, the band he formed alongside Simon Webbe, Antony Costa, and Lee Ryan, continues to tour and perform to packed audiences across Europe. The group’s nostalgic blend of pop and R&B has kept them in the hearts of fans more than two decades after their debut.
As Duncan steps into this new chapter, it seems love and laughter are once again front and centre. While the couple haven’t publicly confirmed their relationship, the smiles and closeness seen at the Hollyoaks gathering suggest something special is definitely blooming.
For now, the singer appears content to take things one day at a time, enjoying the moment with his new partner. After years of ups and downs, Duncan James looks ready to embrace happiness, and fans couldn’t be happier to see it.
