""All right, let's get this over with. Are Dan and Phil in a relationship?" Howell asked in the opening seconds of the video, to which Lester answered a firm: "Yes.""
"The pair, considered among raw OG content creators on the platform, then dived into "one of the biggest conspiracies in the history of the internet," saying people should "mind their God damn business.""
"Howell said they "fell into it hard and fast in 2009... so fast that we never labelled, we just ended up living together and here we are"."
"He also revealed that he had been so "deep in the closet" in his mid-twenties that he hid "who I was to my friends, family, myself", so little wonder he never talked about his relationship."
Dan Howell and Phil Lester confirmed that they have been in a romantic relationship for 16 years in a 46-minute YouTube video published on 13 October. The pair met in 2009 and moved in together in 2011, often appearing in each other's content and launching a joint channel, Dan and Phil Games, in 2014 that tailed off four years later. They came out as gay separately in 2019. Howell said they "fell into it hard and fast" and that he was "deep in the closet" in his mid-twenties, hiding who he was due to a homophobic upbringing and fear of reactions. They cited lack of privacy from their work and widespread public speculation as reasons for keeping the relationship private until now.
