Dan and Phil, the YouTubers Daniel Howell and Phil Lester, confirmed that they have been dating since 2009, the year they first met and began making YouTube videos together. They revealed this longtime relationship status officially in a video released in October 2025, stating they "fell into it hard and fast in 2009" and have been together for nearly 16 years since then.

They had kept their romantic relationship private over the years due to personal reasons, including Dan's past struggles with coming out, but they have been living together since 2011 and have shared much of their lives and work publicly.
