It may feel like a lifetime ago that Carolina Santos appeared on MAFS, but she’s still attempting to keep herself in the headlines by dishing some dirt on 2023 groom Duncan James.
ICYMI, Carolina was an intruder on MAFS 2022, and although she was ‘married’ to Dion Giannarelli, she had an affair with co-star Daniel Holmes and continued to date him after the show.
Now, during an appearance on Back to Reality podcast with hosts Selina Chhaur and Taku Chimwaza, Carolina has revealed that she hooked up with someone from the 2023 season of Married At First Sight.
The hosts pressed her for more information and Carolina admitted that it was Duncan.
“To be honest, it was a drunken night out and it was like a couple of kisses,” she said.
Some fans may remember that back in March Yahoo Lifestyle Australia published photos of the two reality stars cuddled on a sofa together at a nightclub. At the time, both parties denied that anything happened, however, Carolina has now come clean.

“We both denied it back [then]. Actually, he denied it. And I’m like, ‘Okay, I’ll just go with like, maybe he’s just he’s probably just off the show. He’s probably going through what I did’. So, I don’t want to put him in a spot.”
What actually happened between Duncan and Carolina?
Carolina told Taku and Selina that she and Duncan made out while they were at the club.
“It was just a few kisses, we didn’t go home together sleep together or anything. We didn’t continue talking after it was absolutely nothing. It meant nothing, it was drunken kisses,” she said.
The MAFS intruder explained that she got Duncan’s Instagram from a journalist and the two started DMing each other.
“I can’t remember if he reached out or I reached out to say, ‘Hi new MAFS if you need anything [I’m here]’, she recalled.
“I think I was in contact with a few of them, and mostly the ones that [the journalist] thought would come out as villains because I was a villain [so I could] offer some support.
“So I messaged him and was like, ‘Oh, hey, if you need anything, I’m here for you’. We were talking a little bit and that day I was out and he was out as well.”
Carolina said that Duncan messaged her and asked her where she was out, and when she told him she was at a gay bar, he came to meet her.
“He was already drunk because he was out at a bucks party I think,” she added.
Who is Duncan dating now?
Duncan was paired with Alyssa Barmonde on the hit reality show, but they broke up at the final commitment ceremony when he told her that he didn’t want to move forward in a relationship.
After the breakup, Duncan and Evelyn Ellis began dating, and have been together since March. The pair confirmed their relationship in May in a video with Nine Entertainment.
“This is Evelyn and Duncan’s hard launch,” Evelyn said in the video.
“It feels good to finally just say it, and it feels kind of exhilarating in a weird, freeing way.”
