by

Duncan James shared details about his relationship with Alexander Roque, describing him as incredibly affectionate and kind. He also revealed that both his mother and fellow band members already approve of Alexander.

Lee Ryan, 47, from the band Blue, is dating a performer from the strip show Forbidden Nights. Their relationship came to light last month after they were seen together at a party for the cast of Hollyoaks.

At the Children with Cancer UK Gala in London on Saturday, the actor spoke highly of Alex, describing him as a very thoughtful, respectful, and kind person.

Duncan described his son as a very handsome and sweet boy, excitedly sharing that being a new father is a wonderful experience. He added that his son is incredibly affectionate and loves to show him lots of love.

He’s a really kind and gentle person, and it’s been a pleasure getting to know him. He’s just a lot of fun to be around.

He shared that Alex has received wonderful feedback not only professionally, but also from his family and friends, including his mother, Fiona Inglis, and the members of Blue – Simon Webbe, Antony Costa, and Lee Ryan – whom he recently met.

Duncan shared that his mother had met the person in question and approved of them, which was a relief. He emphasized that his mum is very upfront about who she doesn’t like, so her approval meant a lot.

The band members have already met him. They first encountered him at a concert, and they all get along with him. They’ve given him their stamp of approval, which means a lot to me.

He also mentioned that Alex understood the public’s curiosity about their relationship because of her work in the entertainment industry. He was quick to point out, however, that he’s had experience as an actor in addition to his work as a stripper.

Duncan remembered Alex excitedly telling him he was an actor too. Duncan knew Alex had gained recognition from appearing on Britain’s Got Talent, and had since performed on versions of the show in Canada, Australia, and Romania.

They’ve showcased these pieces in numerous exhibitions, likely because they enjoy presenting them in varied contexts.

I’ve always been impressed by how well he handles being famous. It really doesn’t seem to bother him at all! More than that, though, he’s just a genuinely kind and respectful person – it’s lovely to see.

Duncan is dating Alex following his breakup with Rodrigo Reis, which happened in May after six years together.

He explained that he and Rodrigo simply grew apart after six and a half years together. He emphasized that they still care for each other deeply and remain friends, despite no longer being a couple.

He also mentioned that Blue will be celebrating their 25th anniversary next year with a new album and a tour.

Duncan expressed his amazement at how long the group had lasted, explaining their success was due to their strong loyalty to each other. He affectionately described the members as being like his own brothers.

He expressed his amazement at reaching their 25th anniversary, especially noting they’d maintained their entire membership throughout the years. He thought it was a truly incredible achievement.

We’ve been through a lot together as a team, haven’t we? There have been plenty of challenges and good times, but we’ve stuck together and it’s still the same group of people.

He continued, saying that he felt a strong sense of loyalty towards everyone present. They had supported him through all of life’s challenges.

These men are like brothers to me – brothers I never expected to find. We’ve become a family, and we constantly remind each other of that. We truly are family.

I believe that’s the most important thing. We’ve been through a lot together, and we’ve always been there for each other.

That’s just how families are, right? They argue and might even say hurtful things, but in the end, love always wins out.
