I have waited for this my whole life   

I started following Phil when I was in high school in 2009 and Dan shortly after

For anyone wondering why this is a big deal to their followers.. First they said they were just friends for like a decade. Then Dan has has mental break down era and went on hiatus for a year or two, and then came back with his video I'm Gay, finally coming out. Then Phil came out. And I SWEAR Dan soft-confirmed they're dating but I couldn't find evidence again ever since which was intensely frustrating. And then for the next few years they kept very pointedly calling each other 'friends'. Yet they built a ****ing house together! Which they live in but with separate bedrooms. But the last apartment they 'lived in' they confirmed was actually a lie and they rented that apartment as basically a set to film videos and actually lived in the apartment below  so who KNOWS. And every time you try to ask anyone about what they think the fandom goes mental and tells you it's none of our business to speculate

So all this time I've been like wtf so do they live together as just friends but it makes sense to live together for work and financial reasons? Were they once dating but broke up and still live together? Do they have a complicated on-again, off-again relationship? Do they have an unconventional gay relationship that they don't want to get into the politics of? e.g. they an open relationship or they live together like companions but don't actually label it a relationship?   it's the 15 years of gaslighting us that they're friends that makes it so messy

I need to go watch the video NOW for some long needed answers  

Looked into it because I swear they confirmed a relationship years ago. In Dan's coming out video he said "They're more than friends, more than romantic, actual soulmates". And the reason the fandom defended them so hard when it comes to speculation is because they were safeguarding the fact that a YouTube glitch unprivated a video love letter from Phil to Dan that was never meant for anyone else but those two.
