The Best (And Funniest) YouTube Comments About Dan And Phil’s Relationship Reveal

If you’re an OG YouTube patron, you know who Dan and Phil is—hell, even if you aren’t, you probably do. The duo started making videos together in 2009, and they were quickly up to their knees in relationship rumors—even though neither of them had confirmed their sexuality.

So what does that have to do with anything going on today, in the year of our Lord 2025? Well, believe it or not, 16 years later, after many a Dan and Phil fanfiction and Tumblr fancam, the duo have taken to YouTube to address the rumors in a video called “Are Dan and Phil In A Relationship?”

The answer, believe it or not, is short and sweet: Yes, yes they are.

Throughout the 45-minute video, Dan and Phil discussed parasocial relationships and how the internet’s speculation about their sexualities (and yes, their own relationship) became overwhelming and anxiety-inducing. In fact, Dan only just publicly came out in 2019, 10 years after the rumors began.

That being said, the two confirmed they’d been dating essentially the whole time they’d been vlogging together—yep, that’s a solid 16 years. And just to be clear, they need you to know that you still aren’t entitled to any details about their relationship, so write that one down.

There’s a lot of things to say about this, but I’ll let the YouTube comments do the talking:

Many made jokes about the “slow burn” nature of the relationship:

Anyway, love is alive and well.
