James Deane And Becky Evans – Breaking Down The Breakup Rumors

Recently, fans have been wondering what’s been going on with one of the few remaining celebrity drifting couples – Becky Evans and James Deane.

There are very few public relationships in drifting, and given that Evans (also known as Queen B) and Deane are both at the forefront of the sport, with their own YouTube channels and popular social platforms, it’s no surprise people have been asking questions.

Earlier this year, another popular drifting YouTube couple, Adam LZ and Collete Davis, cleared the air on their breakup while speculation was at its peak during the Formula DRIFT season, confirming that they “care deeply but grew in different directions.” However, Collete wasn’t shy about later discussing things on her socials, hinting that it may not have been quite that simple.

However, the drifting couple who are less controversial have been keeping quiet, so what’s really going on with Becky and James?

How things started for Becky Evans and James Deane

In the early days of their relationship, Becky and James mostly kept things quiet, even though they had been together since around 2018.

Evans later moved from London to Ireland during lockdown in 2020, setting up base at Deane’s workshop in County Cork.

In the years that followed, Deane became the most successful drifter in Formula DRIFT history. At the same time, he also competed in the Drift Masters series, where Evans presented for Red Bull TV.

At the time, some felt this blurred the lines between her media role and Deane’s championship campaign.

Despite the mixed opinions, they became increasingly public in recent years, often featuring each other in their YouTube videos and on social media.

However, over the past few months, fans have noticed fewer appearances and far less content featuring the pair together, further fueling speculation.

Are James Deane and Becky Evans still together?

Currently, there’s no official confirmation of a breakup between James Deane and Becky Evans. But since they’ve mostly kept in-depth details of their personal lives low-key, a statement is unlikely. But it’s undeniable that in recent months, there’s been noticeably less content featuring the pair together across social media and events.

Around the time speculation first started, Becky Evans had a huge high-speed crash in her Nissan Silvia S15 at Castle Combe.

When Deane clinched his fifth Formula DRIFT title with his family and team around him, fans pointed out that Evans was absent, which they took as another sign that something might have changed.

At this point, the gossip was (unsurprisingly) at an all-time high. On Reddit, users also claimed the pair unfollowed each other on social media, adding even more fuel to the rumors, although this hasn’t been independently verified.

Then, James Deane’s Wikipedia page was recently updated to say he “was in a relationship with Becky Evans until some time in 2025.” However, the cited sources on the page only confirm they were together, not when or whether things ended.

While Wikipedia isn’t the most conclusive source, taken together, these signals have led many to conclude they’re no longer together. Despite this, neither Deane nor Evans has yet confirmed anything.

If they have quietly gone their separate ways, it wouldn’t be hard to imagine their travel schedules and professional commitments playing a part.

With LZ and Collete confirming their split, and the current speculation surrounding Deane and Evans, people are already wondering who the next standout drift power couple will be. Given the interest, it’s clear that many drifting fans care about the people behind the cars as much as the battles on track.
