Do we actually know if Stephen and Steven are together?

This kind of story concerns me. Firstly, they might not be a couple. Secondly, we dont know if young Steven is gay. And thirdly and most important, if Steven is gay do the journalists know if this story has outed him - potentially causing personal worries for him and family. Not all 26 year old gay men are out to their family.

If he's not he could have issued a statement or taken action against the Daily Mail.

And if he's not, he's been spotted out and about rather a lot!

http://www.afterelton.com/briefs-08-16-2010 Another pic of them together from the day before.

While I'm sure the people I hang around with on a daily basis would be motified to be automatically assumed to be my partner(s!), it's safe to say that after a month of being called Stephens partner, by now he should either accept the fact it's out there and be comfortable with his family knowing, or tell the media they're wrong, no?
