I wasn't sure whether to put this in the News and Media thread or create a thread, but I guess there will be some discussion on it. On their most recent podcast, Press and Heath opened up about their relationship, including talking about dealing with the public speculation about their relationship even before they were dating as well as the challenges of being in a relationship while being on the NT together. While this forum never engaged in the same level of speculation on "Preath" that was on social media, it did come up here.
The fact that I completely ignore social media is aptly demonstrated by the fact that I had never heard about those speculations and I had absolutely no idea about their relationship until a few seconds ago. With people like me, the privacy of the players is well protected.
I'm only mildly on Xwitter, and rarely get into the celebrity/gossip world. I had no idea. So little idea that I didn't even know either was gay (and I don't care, other than giving them support).
There was speculation online on the relationship basically as soon as Press joinsd the WNT. However, it probably wasn't on this forum until a bit later on. From this podcast, they reveal that they've been in a relationship for about decade, but never openly confirmed it like Krieger and Harris did, so there was a lot of speculation during those years. However, they've been openly in a relationship for the last 3 or 4 years or so (once they started their podcast and once there was the pic of them together at an awards show), but they haven't openly talked about what it was like to be teammates while being in a relationship and the rest until now.
