The most terminally online girl from your high school is having a stroke right now. The lore goes deep with these two, but in this 46 minute video, they break down the timeline of their relationship, the damage fan prying did to them, and the long term impact of parasocial fan dynamics. As someone who survived Tumblr in 2013, I am honestly astounded they confirmed this publicly, after decades of successfully dodging some beyond-intense stalker behavior.

ive spent a whole decade of my life thinking they were like married already … congrats dan and phil
Didn’t they both come out in 2019 and confirm they were in a relationship? Is this new news?
Damn my girlfriend would have been going off about this in 2016
Awwwwwwww 13 year old shipper me is happy
Omg ❤️ – Used to loveeee them. I can’t believe most of the things fans speculated ended up being true! Their current hairstyles are so cutie.
Oh this is sweet!
Are you serious rn
This was genuinely such a great video. Really great look in to how much seemingly ‘harmless’ theories about people’s personal lives impact the people at the centre of it. Certain fans should take notes. *cough* Gaylors, Larries *cough*
as a gay, i’ve known this whole fucking time lol
I thought this was Daniel Foxx and Dane Buckley at first scrolling…. Hahahahaha 😈🥚
I love them
As much as we shit on fandom couple theorists, they got 2 of the biggest one rights (at least in my circle lol): Shanye and Courtney + Dan and Phil
I’ve been a subscriber of them both since the Manchester days and this video’s made me feel like a proud mother hen 😌 So looking forward to them releasing their own podcast finally!
I never thought I’d see the day they addressed it directly. I felt like they’d said enough over the past few years to make it obvious they were dating but I figured we’d always be at the point where you either knew it or you lived in ignorance forever.
This is objectively cute, good for them.
Shout out to the emo girl in my 9th grade drama class who’s entire personality was educating us all on this ship and also Doctor Who.
Hope she is feeling vindicated 🖤
My annoying friend in high school would be freaking out right now. “Shipping” real people is so gross and weird. I’m happy for them though and hope their fans are normal about this
i’m so happy for them! i’ve been a fan of theirs for a decade and to see them both (but especially dan) feel comfortable enough to share this with us is wonderful
This is the biggest DUH but also the biggest OMG WTF
Am I crazy or was this confirmed like years ago? I thought it was sort of passively confirmed but they just kept it private
I am sorry to all my straight friends but I am about to be SO ANNOYING about this for the next 10 buisness days
Gosh. I feel very bad for them for how much they struggled. Especially the valentine video…feel kind of bad that I did watch that when I was younger and dumb.. didn’t really think it would be that bad for them..never shared it though.
Poor Dan. Really went through the ringer. And Phil. Because being back in the closet for so long can’t have been easy . At the same time how wonderful to have met and loved your soul mate for so long.
NGL I thought they were already married lol but guess that’s not happening any time soon which as long as they’re happy. Very proud of them
middle school me is screaming rn… congrats kings 🫶
Was this not confirmed a long time ago or am I hallucinating? Or did one/both of them just come out before and NOW they’re confirming they’re together?
This is so surreal, I never thought they would confirm it 😂
