We study the evolution of the eccentricity of an eccentric orbit with spinning components. We develop a prescription to express the evolving eccentricity in terms of initial eccentricity and frequency. For that purpose we considered the spins to be perpendicular to the orbital plane. Using this we found an analytical result for the contribution of spin in eccentricity evolution. As a result, we expressed orbital eccentricity in a series of initial eccentricity and gravitational wave frequency. The prescription developed here can easily be used to find arbitrarily higher-order contributions of initial eccentricity. With the eccentricity evolution at hand, we computed the evolving energy and angular momentum fluxes for eccentric orbit with spinning components. This result can be used to construct the waveforms of spinning compact objects in an eccentric orbit.
