Elle Duncan, like the rest of her family, has kept her personal life a closely guarded secret. However, we do know that this stunning lady is currently married.

On July 9, 2016, the discreet Elle married her spouse, Omar Abdul Ali. Unfortunately, as is customary, any additional information on her husband, as well as the facts that foreshadowed their connection, has been kept buried.

Her husband’s occupation is also unknown at this time.

Duncan, despite her anonymity, appears to post a lot of pictures of her family on social media. She was overjoyed when Elle revealed her baby, Eva, to the world.

On July 25, 2018, the newlywed reporter gave birth to her first kid, exactly two years after marrying.

The pair is expecting their second kid in December 2020, following the birth of her first child. Xander, Ellen’s baby child, was born to her and her husband.

Elle is having the time of her life with her husband and children. The anchor is frequently seen on social media with her children and husband.

Duncan has always been under the public’s radar, whether it’s due to his lack of personal life or something else.

Despite having a good reputation in the network, she was arrested on April 28, 2013, for DUI and reckless driving.

Duncan was seen “weaving in and out of traffic in a reckless manner” at a high rate of speed, according to the reports. Her rash action narrowly avoided colliding with another vehicle, but it was still dangerous.

Her breathalyzer reveals that she has a high alcohol content in her blood, 0.099 to be exact, which is higher than the legal limit of 0.08.

Similarly, all of the charges filed that day were later dropped.

Early Career and Rise

Upon her graduation, Elle made her way as a journalist through the Atlanta network. There she started as an intern with the ‘2 live Stews’, which is American syndicated sports talk radio show on 790/The Zone.

Just a year later, Atlanta host Ryan Cameron hired the young Elle to join him on the show titled V-103.

Likewise, different from her role as an intern, she was introduced as a traffic reporter and on-air personality. She even hosted an afternoon show at the station back in 2009.

Shortly after that, Elle moved to handle sports reporting for the morning Frank and Wanda show.

Aside from her designated role, during her time at the V-103, Duncan also filled in as a contributor with the Atlanta Falcons radio network pre-and post-game shows.

Added to that, she also handled the Atlanta Hawks sideline reporting and freelance sideline reporting for SEC and ACC football games on Comcast Sports South.

In a way, even as a newbie, Elle’s hands were overflowing with work.

Maybe it is her hard work and dedication, even as a rookie, that Duncan gained a lot of positive feedback.

As a result, in 2012, NBC affiliate WXIA-TV offered her a job as a traffic reporter. And without a doubt, Duncan gladly accepted the offer and parted ways with Atlanta.

Move to Other Networks

Two years later, Duncan joined NESN as an anchor, reporter, and host. Before this, her work at other networks helped Elle gain a lot of experience and goodwill.

Similarly, Elle began co-hosting NESN Live presented by Cross Insurance along with Sarah Davis.

The show also featured updates from NESN reporters and game-day analyses from sports pundits like Fenway Park, TD Garden, and Gillette Stadium.

Apart from that, Duncan worked as a sideline reporter for the Red Sox and even hosted coverage for Super Bowl XLIX.

The event was between the New England Patriots and Seattle Seahawks and held in Glendale, Arizona.

That same year, Duncan appeared in the 2014 movie, Ride Along where she portrayed a news reporter. Then on April 27, 2016, Elle joined ESPN as an anchor for SportsCaster.

Also, her other memorable works include being a host of the American talk show FishCenter Live. In a way, Elle has always been known for taking more than her required job.

Her Philanthropy Works

Aside from being an influential character in the world of journalism, Elle has made her impact on charity as well.

The American reporter has been involved with Walker, a non-profit leader in special education, behavioral health, and residential treatment for children and youth.

To be specific, she has been part of Walker’s Change Shoes, Change Lives Run, and Walk.

Through on-campus volunteering, Elle has engaged with Walker’s youth and conducted events through NESN’s employee volunteer program, NESN Connects.

Moreover, during her tenure at V-103, Duncan launched a Cause & Effect series to represent several local nonprofit organizations quarterly.

Not to mention, the series consisted of different events throughout Atlanta and raised funds for underexposed organizations.

Because of her innate wish to contribute, Elle also worked as a spokeswoman for Enchanted Closet. It is an organization that aims to provide prom dresses, shoes, and accessories to disadvantaged girls for prom.

On January 27, 2020, the helicopter crash took the life of Kobe Bryant and his daughter along with other people. Surely, many people, including Elle, took the matter to heart.

That day, Duncan anchored ESPN’s flagship show SportsCenter, and gave an emotional and touching talk she had with the late legend.

At an ESPN event held in New York City, the two had a chance to meet and converse two years back.
