Duncan has been dating Rodrigo Reis since 2019

"People have written to her, saying, 'Isn't it disgusting your dad's gay? How do you feel? You must be ashamed of him', and stuff like that, and you're just like, 'Why are you writing to a kid saying stuff like that? Are you really crazy?' People are just awful."

Duncan has been in a longterm relationship with Rodrigo Reis since 2019. They met shortly after Duncan appeared on First Dates Hotel, during which he had his first public openly gay date.
