After more than a decade of friendship, chaos, and nonstop fan theories, YouTubers Dan Howell and Phil Lester have finally confirmed what the internetâs been whispering about for years; theyâre dating. Yep, itâs official. The beloved YouTube duo just gave fans the answer theyâve been waiting for since the @AmazingPhil and @danisnotonfire era. And letâs be real⦠this oneâs been a long time coming.
Both creators came out as gay back in 2019, sharing emotional, deeply personal videos that left fans both proud and curious. Still, the question thatâs hovered over their friendship for years never really went away: Are Dan and Phil together? Now, at long last, weâve got our answer; and itâs every bit as genuine and heartwarming as fans hoped.
âWe Never Labeled Itâ
In their new YouTube video, Dan confirmed the news with his usual dry humor, saying, âIt was so fast that we never labeled it. We just ended up living together and here we are.â Classic Dan. Casual and understated, like dropping one of the biggest updates in YouTube history is no big deal.
Phil added with a grin, â15 years of suppressing all of these stories and opinions and they’re finally gonna come out.â Itâs funny, a little chaotic, and completely them. Fans whoâve been around since the early 2010s know how much this moment means. Not just for the fandom, but for two people whoâve built a career on being authentically themselves (even when the internet demanded answers).
A New Era: The Podcast
As if the reveal wasnât enough, Dan and Phil also announced their next big step together: launching a podcast. After years of YouTube videos, tours, and late-night laughs, the pair are heading into a new phase of their creative partnership.
While details are still under wraps, it seems like this podcast will give fans a mix of stories, humor, and the kind of chemistry that made the two an online staple. Itâs a natural move⦠and honestly, it feels like the start of something special.
The Fans React
Over on a Reddit thread, longtime fans couldnât contain their excitement. One comment read, âI’m genuinely stunned that they’ve addressed this publicly, but also so happy for them that they’ve found peace and feel they’re in control of the narrative now. Onwards and upwards lads!â
Another fan wrote, âIâve been a fan (on and off) for right around 12 years now and I never expected them to actually address this directly. Or maybe I imagined they would at some point but didnât realize it would be now?? Anyway, Iâm thrilled for them and excited for this new chapter!â
And one summed it up best: âI feel so excited for whatâs to come. With the channel and the podcast!!?!? Iâm so happy.â
The internet might be stunned, but mostly, it seems like everyoneâs just relieved and ready to celebrate. After 15+ years of speculation, the truthâs finally out; and weâre absolutely here for the next adventure.
