British vloggers Dan Howell and Phil Lester \u2014 known for their gaming and comedic slice-of-life style videos \u2014 are taking ownership of their long-rumored romance after more than a decade of incessant fan \u201cshipping\u201d online.<\/p>\n
The longtime collaborators revealed Monday that they have been dating for more than a decade, pretty much since they gained popularity in the late aughts. The YouTubers confirmed they have been an item in a 46-minute video<\/a> titled \u201cAre Dan and Phil in a Relationship?\u201d <\/p>\n\u201cWe fell into it hard and fast in 2009,\u201d Howell, 34, said. \u201cAnd here we are almost 16 years later.\u201d<\/p>\nBefore Howell and Lester, 38, spoke about the origins of their couple-dom, the YouTubers\u2014 who both came out<\/a> as gay <\/a>in 2019 \u2014 talked extensively about why they waited go public with their relationship. First, they tackled some fans\u2019 obsessive behavior. <\/p>\nHowell and Lester began appearing in each other\u2019s YouTube videos in the late aughts and eventually, in 2014, launched their shared gaming channel<\/a> \u2014 that page currently boasts 2.95 million subscribers. The pair documented their lives together, opening the door for fans to speculate on their relationship and foster a parasocial connection, Howell explained in the video. Among the most prominent internet personalities at the time, Howell and Lester often became the subject of fan fiction and fan edits on Tumblr<\/a>. <\/p>\n\u201cSome think that shipping real-life people is problematic. I think that humans cannot stop this natural tendency,\u201d Howell said, later adding that \u201ca line gets crossed\u201d when fan speculation turns into investigation. <\/p>\nThe pair recalled fans combing through their old social media posts, reaching out to their loved ones and filming them out in the real world. \u201cIf all this digging, investigating was small it could\u2019ve been ignored,\u201d Lester said. <\/p>\n\u201cThe problem is this became so big we could not ignore it,\u201d Howell continued.<\/p>\n\n\n <\/picture> <\/svg> <\/button> <\/ps-youtubeplayer> <\/div><\/div><\/div>\nHowell and Lester also recalled fans dissecting their on-camera interactions and spreading the romance rumors during live events.
