We love you Steph❤️

Ahh ! I was confused watching Chateau DIY and the narrator calling Philip your bf!! Your love life is your business Stephanie. Much love xx

That in terrible; that Channel 4 would presume anything about your love life. I love both you and Philip and yes clearly you have a wonderful friendship but I never got anything more than friendship. You protected your privacy well and fir them to “out” you like that is … RUDE!

Love this! Thank you for sharing. I am glad you are happy.

Philip is great. What a great catch for both of you. My boyfriend is quite a bit younger than me as well. Though not nearly as handsome as Philip. I’m so sorry it was made public on channel 4. You deserve your privacy.

I love this! Y’all are made for each other❤️

Wow I did not see that. Shame on channel 4 for not asking first

Absolutely wonderful news!! So happy for you and Phillip!!!

I don’t think this is a surprise to anyone. A couple of times on vlogs you’ve referred to places you’re staying as “our room” and a while ago stopped showing a second room as Phillip’s room. He also shows signs of couplehood as do you in his life transitioning itself permanently to Leland and the way he talks about your china possessively. 😆 You just enjoy your life!

I wish you much happiness, and I also wish you a happy private life. I'm sorry that you folks got outed that way, but as usual you're handling it with grace and joy. Thanks for all that you do to make life better for not just Lalande but for the world. ❤️

Well, if mummy approves, who is anyone else to argue? Because she wouldn’t put up with any crap. ❤️

Ha Ha that book - I totally get that you want to keep your private life private since it's nobodys business - but since this is out let me just say that you two always seem so wonderful together on the vlogs and anyhow how were you not destined to end up with a boyfriend who's crazy about porcelain.

I am so happy for you Stephanie! ❤️❤️ I too have been with a younger man for several years and you are right, society doesn’t look at it the same as a man with a younger woman. I happy you are happy but sad that you were faced with sharing what you deserve to keep private.

It is very unprofessional and self-profiteering of Ch4; unfortunately that's how realty tv rolls, any bit of sensationalism makes for good 'ratings' for them only.

Goosebumps of joy when hearing the news. Now I can stop speculating of who I thought the lucky person might be there at Lalande! Phillip is a joy- much love to you both from Washington State, USA!

Whilst I appreciate you sharing, and I am thrilled for you both, it is your life and you own no explainations. Amour <3 Amour.

Just keep doing what enriches both of your lives and makes you both happy. My partner and I have an 18 year age difference which we forget about most of the time because it’s about two souls connecting not your date of birth. It’s such a blessing to have love in your life and I wish you both many years of happiness together.

Anonymous

Also, l feel that you don't need to share any more than what you have already mentioned in this short video, no 'live' is required. All the best and l hope to see you in person next year..

Anonymous

Stephanie, the age gap between my husband and I is greater than that between you and Phillip and it’s not a problem for us. If it’s a problem for anyone else then that’s tough luck for them! It’s your business and nobody elses and we watch CD for life in the chateau, not for personal relationships, which should remain private. Much love and respect x ps. I don’t think there’s any need for you to do a live vlog on Friday. I certainly don’t think there are any questions to be asked of you x

As long as you’re happy that’s all that matters!

Stephanie, your personal life is yours and yours alone and as a vlogger you need to draw a line somewhere as to how much of life you share, I think your decision is a good one! bit rubbish of channel 4 but it’s happened now, and move on I suppose! No questions from me! X

Yayyyyyyyy!!! You deserve all the happiness in the world. You two make an amazing couple. Don't be afraid of what sexist people talk. You are a beautiful and independent wan. Be happy. Lots of love!!! Im so happy for you!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good for you and and good for Philip!! As someone who's also been in a relationship where the outside world only seems to see the age difference, hold on to that spark you both have for each other and the similar interests and passions you share. These things will help you through all that the world brings your way. You go girl! And Philip as well haha! Wish you the best of luck and know that you have every right to keep your personal life for yourself ❤ We completely respect that!

So pleased for you both. I think you are both suited so well. Philip is such a lovely man, and your interests are entwined ❤️ As for the age difference-who cares. I am older than my husband and it works just perfectly. thank you for sharing. I had my suspicions 😂 totally will respect your privacy ❤️ yeah!

I had a sneaking suspicion and so very happy for you and Philip. You both are so in sync it is wonderful! Don’t worry about the naysayers it’s no one’s business. Be happy!

What a shock that must have been - and how very indiscreet of the production team. I am, however, quietly unsurprised, and very happy indeed. Phillip appears to be a a caring, fabulously quirky, kind and darling man - and you seem to share so many interests. I am really pleased for you both. I also fully understand your desire to keep something precious and private and endorse you decision to say nothing to the wider audience.

Much love to you both. FYI - Years ago a man 23 years my junior pursued me relentlessly. Then he did something so romantic I couldn’t reject him. It didn’t last long because he lived far away and it was just as well. It was fun while it lasted. Philip is a wonderful and kind human. I say enjoy one another! 💕💕💕 But it doesn’t matter what I say, right? I stand by your choices. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Very happy for you both, ignore any naysayers. My husband is 16 years my senior and we've been happily together for 10 years and couldn't be happier. Love and smiles to you and all the house.

So happy for you both, what a shame it all had to come out like this. You certainly had me hoodwinked! I do hope that this can be for the positive though and can bring a new chapter for you both in Lalande life. You certainly don't need to feel as though you must do a live as some sort of confessional, but they're always great fun if you do decide to go ahead. I truly wish all the best for you and hope that all of the recent catastrophes can be put to rest now! Lots and lots and love to you all <3

What narrow minded people may think is irrelevant. It is your private life and only yours. I think you make a fantastic couple. Do not take any notice of any negative feedback. You both deserve to be happy.

Am actually quite horrified that you’ve been forced to “explain” your love life .. MASSIVELY no one else’s business & handled with your usual class & dignity.

Don’t change & I wish you both oodles of happiness ❤️

As always handled with aplomb! And couldn’t be happier for you both….I like that you are keeping it private although think most of us had guessed I would imagine. The only hope I have is that chateau diaries remains as is ….as your vlog and not joint. You are such a shining star that you need to be centre stage as the conductor of the la lande orchestra with Philip, amaury, nati etc all being your creative muses! You are a fab couple and enjoy each moment ….ignore the trolls they are only jealous of happiness

Girl, if you're happy, that is ALL THAT MATTERS. I'm so very sorry that Channel 4 outed your private business. They seriously owe you an apology. It would be nice if you felt safe enough to talk about it with us here from time to time. The easy lighthearted stuff that's not to personal. If you don't, that's totally okay to. Your happiness is really all I care about. Love you, Stephanie! <3 <3 <3

So very happy for you both! Phillip is a treasure and a very special person and so are you, Stephanie, so it was almost inevitable that the two of you met and have a beautiful relationship. No need for further explanation or a live, we have all the information we’d ever need. Treasure each other and keep your happiness sheltered from prying eyes and ears as much as you can. Wishing you all the happiness in the world!

Bravo Stephanie! And your comments are so true about the double standards for women and age gaps. We as patrons support you but you should never feel obligated to share more than you are comfortable with. Cheers to you and Philip !🥂

Having worked my entire career in broadcast, that Channel 4 would announce something about your private life without consent is despicable. But I’m retired and glad to be as the standards of today’s journalists are shockingly low. And you’re absolutely right about the age inequity. It’s yet another double standard that needs to be knocked down. If you do a live, the only question I will ask is, “ what is your skin care regime?” You have the most beautiful skin! Stay true to yourself and tell any nay sayers to F off.

Firstly how frustrating that such info was released on television without your consent! Sorry about that. Secondly I’m so happy for you both. I think you’re a match made in antique-loving heaven and no doubt it was part of La Landes mystical plan. May I just say that when I was 24 I was in a relationship with a 40 year old and nobody batted an eyelid - simply because he was the older one. My Mum is older than my Dad and they’ve been happily married for over 30 years so sod anyone who’s rude about it. I have a question for the Q&A (which I doubt I’ll be able to attend as in Melbourne so a different time zone). I’m recently single and almost 30. Most of my friends are getting married at the moment. I am actually pretty thrilled with my newfound freedom but am feeling judged and pressured by certain people in my life, like I should be getting married and having babies soon because of my age, even though I’ve just left a long term relationship and I don’t think the nuclear family thing is what I even want. Do you have advice for navigating this kind of criticism and generally spending your 30s being single? Much love to you and Philip. Charlotte x

I’m sorry that the show exposed such a personal information. Just know that too, I, the women was older, in a large age gap relationship... 13 years. We married and had a child. His parent didn’t approve and tore us apart. We spilt when our son was 7 months and I feel into a deep postpartum depression and anxiety. I couldn’t even brush my teeth, that’s how bad it was. Your show helped me through that time, I looked forward to it every day it released. My son is almost two now and one day I hope to meet all of you. With all of that said Congratulations!!! 🌼🌼🌻🌻

Like a few others, I picked up on this a few months ago just from the way you lovingly speak to one another and the ways in which Philip sometimes touches your back, or, such as in your recent Cadeaux live, when he sweetly touched your knee as he was reminding you of something. I was SO hoping it was true and it is! :) Kudos to you both for accepting the "outing" so graciously and I really hope it gives you some sort of relief that it's nothing you need cover up while also finding no need whatsoever to talk about it any further on camera. :) You two make a lovely, lovely couple, Stelip! (ha! Just a joke). May you both continue on in love, laughter and happiness!!! SO happy for you!

I have been a long time fan and surprisingly never picked up on this. I had a different idea about Phillip that is/was none of my business. I guess I need to get my people reading skills reassessed. 😆 not that any of this is my business. I just didn't see that at all. I'm so happy for them though. It does just make sense, doesn't it?

I cannot tell you how supportive I am of you both and this relationship. You are both the sweetest people and I am so happy you have found happiness together. Stuff all the jealous haters. You both have wonderful taste is romantic partners. No one else gets a say. I feel somewhat sad that you even had to address this publicly. Love is love is love is love is love.

Awesome! I knew it...even though it's none of my business. We're all happy for you. And happiness is all that matters. You both have so much in common. I'm sure you feel relieved and it's nice having a bit of a friend chat about it. Maybe we should all spill the beans on our lives? I'll go first... my boyfriend is my cat, Gandalf... he's a bit grey and has a white beard. there - there you have it! I also have a boyfriend Josh. He comes in the form of cabernet or merlot. And that sums it up right now. But I have my family too of crazy siblings. It's all good. Much love xoxo Laura

Well, I for one was surprised but not because of the age difference & I’ll say no more. I thought you were going to say Channel 4 got it wrong like other articles got it wrong saying that Nick was your former partner. It is a shame it happened that way but it is what it is. Phillip is a very charming, handsome & kind man & you have so much in common. I am so happy for you both. I doubt you will hear negativity on the platform but who knows what will be said on the FB fan pages. Ignore negative comments. We love you both! I agree, you don’t need to do a live.

The day Phillip arrived at lalande I had a feeling you both had a connection the more vlogs you were in together you could see your friendship was getting closer by the day and turning in to love. I wish you both the happiest life together age is just a number . May be this could be a good book for Ruth to write , I no I certainly would buy it to read if anything like her last book it would fly of the shelf , all the best love and light to you both xx

It made me really sad that this was released without your knowledge or consent. You give us so much in your vlogs, you deserve your love life to be just that...yours. In saying that, as we now know - I am also so happy for you both. You really are a perfect match... from the moment Philip put that tiara on!!! Sending love from Down Under..xxxxxx

On another topic ie the wandering Pheasants of Jenne's but about chicks* of another type, I spoke to my brother who informed me that a flock of guinea hens he knows will not stay on their own farm but set off over a mile of to join another flock and will not stay put when brought home. * chicks: attractive people either gender who love life.

Now that you confirmed the news, I am absolutely thrilled! You both shine so bright together. <3 I am so sorry your relationship was outed on television! As someone who eloped and told no one about my marriage for months, I completely understand the value of privacy.

What happens between two consenting adults behind closed doors is nobodies business. However, as you make your living through inviting people into your world I really do respect you addressing this in an open way, now.

Great point Linda! We should all make a pact to not comment outside of Patreon and be honored that as part of this community we can celebrate them and support their relationship.

The heart wants what it wants and never asks about age. I think it's lovely you both have found one another and are happy. That's what really matters, isn't it? And if Philip is anything like he appears to be, how could you not. He seems to be a very warm and caring man. Good for you both!

Might I suggest that you have extra hands on deck for any upcoming premiers and lives to monitor the chats and politely respond/shut down any pushy questions or rude speculations? I know that usually at least one person handles that, but it might be nice to have extra support on hand. Hopefully this proactive approach would more quickly quiet the inevitable noise after a few episodes. Also, good luck to the person at Channel 4 when Mummy has their ear. I think a contract adjustment is needed. While this may not be a libel case, it is rotten behavior and breaks down the trust needed to allow film crews into your personal home. Again, I vote for no Live for Patrons on this topic.

Charlotte -as someone who spent most of my 30's single i wanted to send you all my love and support for you to do what is right for you- enjoy you life as much as you possibly can as it is right now - maybe choose to be more around those people who encourage and support you in how your life is now and turn the volume down on those who infer it should be a certain way- we all have different timing to our lives - some of us have children and actually lots of us don't for lots of reasons both from active choice or not. Spend your days growing into becoming more of who you really are - then if it is the time for you to be in relationship you are sure to have a much more enjoyable one whenever that might be - love your life now xx

I have always felt people should be able to share what they want to and choose when - i cant imagine how you are feeling with this shock as i am feeling i know something it is not my business to know - like others i am delighted to hear you are so happy and nurtured and Philip has long shown that for you in many ways, that i understood to be a good friendship which it is in many forms. I like many others feel NO NEED at all for a Live Q&A on your relationship - it is still yours to keep private. And as always huge kudos to you for the incredible grace in which you are handling this - you continue to be a light and an inspiration Stephanie - thank you xx

Actually welling up watching this. In a way hopefully it'll seem a blessing that the news was broken in this way, as it's taken some pressure off you to wonder when to say something. I had thought for a while how much time the two of you spend together indicated how happy you are in each other's company and that's wonderful. I'm also happy for Phillip as it must be something of a relief for him too that he can be more open around you. It must have been a worry for you both to not give too much away and perhaps now you can relax more. No questions from me. Really happy that you're both happy though.

I thought you two had a wonderful relationship; but, I must admit I have been clueless to this. Happy for you both! I have always felt with all people that as you say one thing is private so I will respect that as I have all along. I love watching everything Chateau; however, I hate gossip and speculations about people's very private lives! I removed myself from several other groups for that reason. I'm happy for you and I watch the Chateau Dairies and Unwrapped for the pure chateau experience. Stephanie, I see so much of my young self in you, I'm now in my seventies. I understand from experience the age difference, life is short enjoy every minute. Your secret would have been scared and safe with me. Love to you from a kindred spirit, Karola

Everybody is entitled to their private life. As for you and Philip being together, well that is personal and private to the both of you. Like a lot of others have said I don't believe that you have to explain yourself to any one, let alone your patrons. I think it is fair to say that the vast majority of people are incredibly happy for the both of you. For those that feel that they have some sort of right to know or want to question either of you, well I don't think that

Well that’s a relief because here I was thinking it was a shame that you weren’t together as Phillip is far too good a catch to let go. Good people don’t come by that often so it’s lovely that you’ve both found each other.

Oh Stephanie what a week you've had! I'm so happy you and Philip have each other, now and through everything. But you both deserve privacy for you personal lives. Chanel 4 was really so wrong to do this! So it also makes me quite angry on both of your behalves. I hope there aren't too many negative repercussions and you can go on happily together because the two of you certainly bring joy and happiness to all of us. I also agree with many others that you shouldn't do a live for patrons on your love life. You and Philip are both dear people but this is a private matter. The way you have handled it here is perfect.

THANK YOU and PHILIP for sharing this most wonderful aspect of your private life with us all. My husband is 19 years younger than me ( I am 58 and he is 39 ) and I have to say he is the lovliest sweetest most kind husband I could want. Yes there are people who make snide uninformed remarks but we are happy. together and have achieved quite a lot in our 8 years of marriage. I totally embrace your romance and your sense of freedom to live and love who you choose. You seem so well suited ... all your shared joys and it is heartening to hear that you have found the sort of company that each of us, especially you Stephanie who give so much, so rightly deserves.

I am beyond horrified that you’ve been outted after making it very clear that your private life is private! I’m in Canada so haven’t seen the episode but certainly saw the chit-chat on Facebook (thank you Brenda Gibbons who shut that down). Regardless of how people feel it is NONE OF THEIR BUSINESS! Having said all that, since it’s out there and I am a patron and have the privilege of being able to directly make my “opinion” known, I just want to say I’m THRILLED for the both of you. I will always stand for love. And re the age gap…screw the haters. My aunt had a lover (hear that with a thick Finnish accent) who was 35+ years her junior and she lived her BEST life. Lots of love from a girl who’s got your back ❤️🇨🇦 PS If the Goal Digger bumper sticker for the digger ever shows up it’s from me 😘

I don't want to say I "suspected" because that sounds as though there was something suspicious about it or that you were being shady in keeping something from us, but I did figure the two of you were together and was just quietly happy for you both. It's evident that just being around each other makes you both happy, and that is absolutely wonderful. The age difference shouldn't matter at all. I agree with everyone who has said that a) you didn't need to out yourselves to us just because British television took it upon themselves to out you in England, and b) that there's no need for a Q&A about it if you want to just go back to living your life the way you have all along. You don't owe us anything! However, I will ALSO say that if you would like the opportunity to gush a little bit about your happiness before you return to keeping your love life private, of course we will all be happy to gush with you. But please only do it for that reason - don't feel obligated to do it. It's not about us, it's about you, and we are just all thrilled that you are happy and in love. You do you. We support you both. <3

Dearest Steph - you have given us all so much joy and happiness and you have been so very generous with your life at Chataue Le lande, how could we not want for you the same - a life of joy happiness and companionship. Your lives at Lalande have filled some very dark and uncertain days and actually shone some light on getting through. Your strength and calm confidence and down right soldering on in all seasons ... its funny I think some of us kinda new or sensed a maybe ...it was never in the big things but the cute little things or comments said ... Im a dreadful romantic so (for someone that finds myself now doing life on my own) I couldn't wish or want for you to have this more. The loves and passion interests that Phillip has are such a compliment to you too. I think you will find it a relief now that it's out. You can just carry on now and don't let ANY ' ney sayers' or trouble makers rob you of what rightfully belongs to you . Love !!

It’s really nobody’s business about your love life! You share SO MUCH with us and you’re so transparent. All that matters to me is that your happy which clearly seems to be the case! Much love to both you and Phillip. I’ll join in on the live for Friday, I can’t wait, but I still want to respect your choice to keep the rest private so I won’t be asking any relationship questions. ❤️❤️❤️🏰

CONGRATS to you both on being HAPPY!! That said, it's #noone'sbusiness! People who really care about you will only want to support you. Unfortunately, I'm sure you'll get plenty of questions on your YT channel after BBC airs that episode....

Well, I am so happy to hear that you are so happy! I am a little shocked at Channel 4 and hope it was a misunderstanding and not a deliberate leak. Now in my house we have certain triumphant members who knew it! All along! And those of us who are still adjusting from “oh? OH! So I guess platonic fun vacations with a boss and assistant are much less a thing than I thought!!” Lol. Love to you both!

It's your happiness that matters, Stephanie. Thank you for sacrificing your privacy, just to make us happy. It was very wrong of Channel 4 to do such an invasion of your privacy!!!

Omg. I am so very happy for both you and Phillip. Please do not feel obligated to share any more if it makes either of you uncomfortable. I’m certain you’ll find that those of us who truly care are more than satisfied just knowing you are happy. You bless so many of us every week with joy and a few moments of bliss; the very least we can do is to let you maintain some happiness privately for yourselves. Sending huge hugs and lots of love from Indiana! 💜

Very happy for you both! The way he watches out for you is so special and you light up around him. You both deserve your privacy so I vote for no live q & a , we don’t need to know anything more than you said today . Your courtship is there on your vlogs and anything else is just information you don’t need to share. You deserve to keep a little part of your life private

Fantastic! This makes me happy for you both! Age difference? Bah! That’s so 1950 😁. Just be happy & treat each other kindly. I agree no need to discuss on a Q & A but would be thrilled to raise a glass to you both. 🥂

My BF and I are super happy for you and Philip! Wishing you much continued happiness and... privacy. It’s sweet of you to offer a Live, but not necessary. We hope you gave Channel 4 hell for leaking your personal life. Sending you both love from Miami, FL USA! Xoxo

I think this is incredibly kind of you, as it truly is nobody’s business but your’s and Philip’s. That said - this is AWESOME! I have wondered if he would stay, as volunteers come and go. Now I know. And it’s great because I enjoy you both very much!

This is the best news I’ve gotten in a long time!! I totally saw it coming and while you guys have done a fabulous job at keeping it to yourselves I’m sure on some level there is freedom in just being able to be yourselves and not having to constantly watch out for those little signs of affection. Go travel the world together and enjoy being free to love whoever you want. Bless you both! 😍

It so kind of you to share, but I agree that your personal life is personal. Shame on Channel 4 for leaking the information. I wish both you and Phillip much happiness. I enjoy both of you so much and especially his sense of humor.

Dear Stephanie, firstly I am very happy for you that you are happy, and for Philip. Secondly, honestly and truly you do not need to have a question & answer session for your patreons re on this particular private subject. This is for you and Philip alone and no one else. We do not need to ask you about private matters (I certainly hope others feel they do not as well), this is not what a patreon is about. We contribute because we want to genuinely assist you in the restoration of your beautiful chateau to preserve its history. Yes, some of us (me) live vicariously through you at times, your life is really filled with love and laughter, and we have grown to care about you and your extended family. Please don't share anything you do not want the world to know, you give us more than enough every week.

Yeah I guessed that. The Barbados thumbnail really hit the nail on the head. ; > I was going to comment it gave me 'How Stella Got Her Grove Back' vibes, but did not want it to seem unkind and you were hiding it. I understand the worry and wanting to keep it private. Fair enough! I think there is only the worry and question about him being an employee and him being a fan before you met him. A lot of OG Youtubers won't date fans. But you guys are both adults and if you're both ok then great! But yes TBH, I totally want to know all the details. I want the gossip. I watched for any glimpse of the love mystery despite myself. I mean come on, it was soo obvious sometimes! I mean this with the kindest of jabs. It's none of my beewax. I've kinda gotten over it now. Ppl will move on now the cats out of the bag. What's a chateau without secrets and gossip? But Phillip, can you please stop with the age jokes? Omg there was one about you being young like every week at one stage. P.s. The more you try to hid it, the more you get trapped by it. xoxo

So ‘RUDE’ of Ch 4 to share such an intimate piece of information. Stephanie, I’m really sorry you have been pushed into discussing your personal life by their actions. Like many of your long time viewers I had wondered however it should have been left to you to pick the time, or not, to share. Don’t feel you have to do a Q & A, you really are entitled to some personal space. I wish you both the very best wishes and I am very pleased that you have someone so sweet who takes such good care of you. 🥂🍾💐

Well that was rather rude of channel 4! I share your thoughts Stephanie regarding how people can be prejudice if a woman is older than their partner compared to a man being considerably older. I am the same age as you and my husband (who passed away from cancer 3 years ago) was 10 years younger than me. But in the end I never saw the age gap and he treated me like a queen. He was the love of my life. From what I have seen Phillip and you look like soulmates, so enjoy enjoy enjoy!

I have no questions to ask at all and hopefully the rest of the Patreons also don’t, even though you have shared this information with us all, I don’t think there’s any questions we should be asking you about this matter…..

It is absolutely no one’s business, and I think channel 4, has crossed the line announcing it to the world. And I must say, I am a little surprised, because I did see how close you had gotten, but never imagined it was romantically. Anyways, it is your life, and I wish you all the happiness in the world. And age, it’s unimportant when you find love. So enjoy it!!

Stephanie, you share your life with us five days a week, you don't need to share anymore than that. I'm so sorry, your privacy was violated this way. Instead of a question and answer about your personal life, what if you did something else...like I would love to know how to do a French twist and I bet there are so many other things related to your fashion and design sense that other's would like to know how to do or have questions about.

Stephanie, you are wise. Phillip you are similar in nature to Stephanie; you both trust Life. Know that I am wrapping you in golden Light with blessings. Yes you are right: hold the beloved to your heart , not in the public arena. Look for a package from me to open at the beginning of Advent. Loving you across the pond. LB

Hello Stephanie! Well I didn’t even see it. I never caught on! Didn’t caught the details. But isn’t that your business or is that no longer your business.

All my best for the both of you. Wish you didn’t have to come to us like this. Shameful of them to do this. I have no questions. This relationship is between you and Philip as 2 adults. You work together so well, decorate and have same train of thought. 🥰. All my best!

Like an elegant table setting of gorgeous French porcelain and sterling silver flatware- you two pair beautifully!! I had no clue but, of course, it’s just delightful news! Terribly pleased and happy for you both. Since no one is asking questions, I’ll ask one really dumb one- have you ever had to re-shoot or edit out a term-of-endearment that either of you may have accidentally said on camera like ‘thanks, babe!” or something. Ok…that’s the extent of my nosiness! May your days continue to be filled with happiness!! That’s really the best any of us could wish for.

Well, I did not guess that, but mainly because I knew you’d rather I didn’t. That’s the difference between patrons and paparazzi, I guess. I didn’t NOT guess, but I like your idea that CD is not about couples, except when it is. When there are announcements and ceremonies, happy to celebrate, but new relationships? I agree, not relevant to me. You decide what to share, happy to follow what you offer. Which is a lot, many thanks. How rude of channel 4! But you dealt with it graciously. Of course. All best to you.

Age is just a number, what really matters is the connection two people have. Truly it is no one's business. I too am very happy for you. You are both amazing people and deserve to be happy. There may be people who try and dictate how you live and who you see, but they are only trying to outrun their own unhappiness. So be happy and live life to the fullest.

Thank you for sharing but absolutely unnecessary. I completely respect your decision to keep your personal relationships private and think it’s quite smart to do so. It was very generous and vulnerable of you to share, hopeful you will not regret that decision. As a women who is married to a younger man, I also understand the double standards that we face as females. All that matters is how the two of you feel. Age is irrelevant if you are with the right person. Wishing you and Philip continued privacy!

Darling Stephanie, my partner is 19 years my jr. I ignore all opinions which makes no difference to my life. Frankly, I firmly believe your love life is none of our business. Stay happy. xox

Thank you for trusting us in sharing this very private and wonderful facet of your lives. Those of us who love you do not need an explanation or a series of Q & A time. You use Fridays as a day for yourself.; we take too much of you selfishly at times. I am so very happy for you both!

Stephanie no Q & A! It is your business what you do in your private life. Just keep doing what you are doing. You have my support because of your wonderful blogs.

I can say that this genuinely shocked me.....! And I very much like the fact that it did. Congratulations to you both! I agree with many of my fellow patreons - NO Q&A about this. It's just not necessary. There ARE people with nothing better to do than to tear others apart. Keep this within the walls of Lalande where it can keep both your hearts safe. Bisou!! xxxxxx

I for one, am thrilled that Phillip is in your life! I speculated that he might be your “beau” but decided it’s none of our business. But now that we all know…well, it seems fitting that you keep that part of your life private! but I will admit that a little PDA between you now and then would do this old heart good! I wouldn’t mind seeing Amaury having his heart beating for someone too. He’s so good looking! Carry on…

Love is love is love is love. Age is just a number that does not matter one whit when the connection is real and the sharing is part of a life that is honoring the heart. I am very happy for you both! Although I think it is not at all ok the way the news was broken, in some ways it might be nice now to be able to be more natural with each other as you film and share and document the progress at LaLand. It must have been a bit funny at times to have to edit and care take what was and was not picked up by filming. Now, just you be you. Sod any nay sayers. AND just like with the lovely Michael Potts, when love is real, IT NEVER ENDS, just the best way to express and share it. You and Philip will always have a wonderful love no matter what details the future holds. xx

Oh, sweet Stephanie, kindness is something you can always count on from us. Never doubt that. You express your thoughts so eloquently during a time in which you must feel quite vulnerable. I must admit, I have thought for a while that the sparkle in your eyes could only be love, so I am not at all surprised that you are a couple! Privacy is precious, and I completely concur that you should maintain the mystique in your personal relationship.

Congratulations to you both. I sort of knew from travelling together and the closeness/kindness you both share. Pleased now you both are open and also happy to you both concerning privacy.

Stephanie- it’s no one’s business who you are seeing and you don’t owe anyone an explanation- including us. Do not feel like you need to discuss this at all. I think you should cancel your question and answer session about this. Having said that, I’m very happy that you’ve found happiness. Congratulations.

I also feel no need for a q&a; you are 2 lovely people that deserve your privacy.,you have so much in common,your love of fabric and porcelain to name a few.I think it was very rude of the TV program to put you in this position,they must of known your feelings concerning your private life after all you have worked with them for quite a while .Wishing you both all the best.

My parents were 24 years apart in age. They had a wonderful marriage and a very adventurous life together. I’m so glad to hear you say that it’s been for quite some time because when Philip had his friend come for a visit I was worried that they were a couple and he’d be leaving LaLande. Whew!! So very glad you are both happy. It will be nice to see you together on Friday.

I feel like you have made all of us feel like family. So happy for you. Much love! P.S one year I would love to come to LaLande and help decorate for Christmas.

Stephanie and Phillip, so happy for you both! Age is nothing but love is eternal. As many others have stated, this is your private life and we do not need a q &a.

Now we just need to find someone for Amaury!

Oh come on channel 4!!! How awful that you were forced to come out with this. I agree with the general consensus that you should cancel Friday’s Q&A. I wholeheartedly agree that you must keep your private life private. You share so much with us already. You deserve to keep that for yourself. Much 💕 love to you and Philip 🥰 !

You’re both two consenting adults in love. So, congratulations and I wish you all the best! I also like my men older (I’m a year older than Philip) so honestly, it’s whatever, haha. That said, I can’t believe C4 outed something like that without your consent though. It’s not like it was in a small sphere either. That is really not okay even if no harm was done (hopefully) to you or Philip but that’s not always the case with people. Someone could have been really hurt by it. I think you should contact them regardless and explain the situation, because they can’t do that to people. Someone on another show could get very hurt by blindsided announcements like that. They should be way more mindful of people than that. Honestly, pretty upset about the sheer carelessness they displayed.

You have handled this with refinement and sophistication. We are so pleased to hear of Phillip and your happiness.

I think they made a real ill-fated move. I wouldn't go on that show if I had a chateau in France now knowing that my personal life would be up for grabs. Very creepy of them, and even more than that, extremely poor manners as guests in ones' home. (Sure, we all suspected that there was "love in the air" but Stephanie had mentioned her personal life was just that - personal) .

Just wanted to voice my agreement that no Q&A is necessary. As others have said it's none of our business. It's been obvious that you care deeply for one another for ages though I hadn't realised you were "together". But for what little it's worth I'm happy for you both. You compliment one another! Both in your musicality and your obsessions with porcelain, table decorations, etc etc. That C4 have outed you this way is terrible, I hope it wasn't intentional. In a small way in glad it's out. But only in that it means you won't need to edit around it (which means less work/stress) and that it means that Phillip will be coming back after his musical! Which has been a concern my Mum made when it was announced. With all my best wishes to you both!

Shame on Channel 4! Absolutely agree that it's neither the viewers' business, nor your Patreon supporters. We support your work as chatelaine, bringing a part of the collective human patrimonie back to magnificence, no need for a Hello confidential. Glad to know that you're happy; however, agree that you cancel the Q & A on your relationship. Perhaps a more general chateau monthly update? I for one wondered what the situation on the terrace stonework is, given I believe you mentioned that the architect wasn't happy with the work (?)

Wow. I did not see that coming. I had considered it at one point and then ruled it out.

Congratulations (backdated) on finding love, though I have been thinking you were a couple for a very long time. You seem like a perfect match and he looks at you with love in his eyes. Phillip is a gem, and a stayer. I am a couple of years older than you and I totally agree that this agism towards women only is ridiculous. Just rise above it, you two look perfect together. I love that he went to kiss you first. Regarding Q&A, well if you were sitting here in my living room and telling me this, I would (after squeeling and giving you a hug and topping up your glass) ask you all about when you knew you felt something for Phillip, etc... yes, I would not run out of questions for a while. But you prefer to keep this bit for yourself, so I think you must decide if you really want to do this. Well, we are your friends. And I have considered Phillip a friend too for a very long time as I took to him right away. So I look forward to friday. Love is after all a rather positive thing, it will make us all smile and set us up for the weekend! Love to you and Phillip from an early bird in Norway (I am not really, but had to drive my mum to the train station and checked my emails before returning to bed...then never returned thanks to you! )

I’m delighted for both of you that you have found each other and that’s all that matters. I’m 6 years older than my husband and we have never even entertained it as an issue. The only thing that matters is what you have as a couple. It is unique and therefore could never be shared on a level that others can ‘know’ even if you wanted to share it. The genuine love and support between everyone at La Lande is what makes your vlogs so special. You just keep doing what is right for you because it absolutely brings an enormous amount of pleasure to so many people. Love is love is love and you know how to live and share it. Love to you both 💋❤️❤️❤️

I want to add my voice to those saying there is no need to do a Q and A. Also, I'm glad you have had the wisdom to keep something back for yourself, so that your life still feels like it belongs to you in some way. Keep doing what feels right to you. You have always conducted yourself with a great deal of class and a healthy self-respect combined with humility and humanity, and I'm sure that the principles that have guided you so well prior to this revelation will continue to do so. Stephanie, you are so very generous to share your very lovely self and your delightful adventures with us as you have already been doing. You certainly owe no one more than you are willing to share. While I'm delighted for you and Philip, I hope very much that you are both able to continue to have as much privacy as you desire. I wish you both much joy!

Oh, good for you both! I was one of the ones who thought this was just a deep and caring friendship. But knowing now that it's one big step more is just perfect. That's all I need to know, so it's a no-vote on the Q&A here, also; I can't believe there would be any question required above and beyond the simplicity of your love that you've so graciously and generously shared with us. I do look forward for the interview with Phillip, though. I've been looking forward to that one for a long time!

I will add, regarding a q&a….since you are in love now, and if you want to tell all about it because you are happy and excited, I’m here for it! I’m giddy about it! But if you simply feel obligated and you really don’t want to share, you really don’t have to. The ones who have no interest in this subject simply don’t have to watch. But as a hopeless romantic, I would love to hear some funny stories, your favorite things about each other, stuff like that❤️❤️

Soooo happy for you both. You and Phillip are nice, kind, smart, artistic and so generous with the world close at hand and outside of LaLande. I am very happy that you found each other, and age truly is only a number. (Nice, kind people don't always find an equally kind person, which leads to much heartbreak for the kind partner.) I'm an older woman and for two seconds I said to myself "damn!" And then, I said..."this is about hope." My fishpond just got larger. It's not about age...it's about interests, respect for each other, kindness, equal intelligence and above all love. You've given me hope for a new adventure. Be good to each other and collaborate in every sense of the word. Love to you both. ❤️

Hi! It is completely up to you with what you decide to reveal and what you keep private. I do have an idea if you decide to do a Q&A…and not related to your private life! Perhaps you could talk about what projects were shown on Channel 4 and who was on the show from LaLande? That is what I am most interested in hearing about! We can’t see any current episodes in the US. We are only able to see past episodes of ETTC DIY after they are broadcast in the UK. I know you have a lot of fans in the US and other countries, so here is how the shows are broadcast in the US (at least this is how we discovered them, so I could be wrong). The Peacock App launched in the US about a year ago (yes, this is an extremely random coincidence that it is called the Peacock App, and you own peacocks). My husband and I were desperately looking for new shows to watch while in lockdown, and all of a sudden the Peacock App had all FIVE Seasons of ETTC DIY available for us to watch. However, now that we are all caught up in the US through Season 5 we are unable to see anything currently being broadcast on UK Channel 4. Also, maybe you could find out when the new episodes of Chateau DIY will be released in the US? Thanks!

thank you for sharing. I too feel this is your privacy, no need for an Q&A

I guessed from the way Philip looked at you. You might not have given anything away but it was written all over his face every time he looked at you. All the best to you both. You deserve all of the happiness in the world Stephanie. Xx

It must have been an awful shock to be outed like that. Not because there is anything wrong with the relationship but because no one should be forced to reveal their private life if they don’t want to. You don’t have to explain anything at all, but well done Phillip for making you so happy! I would hope that people are able to be kind, life has been very tough over the last couple of years. Love makes everything better!

I’ve always appreciated the focus being on friendships rather than romantic relationships.

I’m in agreement, I think you’ve shared what channel 4 gave away. I would hate to see any negative or jealous comments on the vlog….it’s going to get out so it’s best from you I think. I will say it hadn’t crossed my mind and when my husband called out a couple of times you both were together while I was watching, I said I didn’t think that was the case. He’s so happy right now! lol You have so much in common, I love that you both found love together! How lovely! I hope you see all the positive comments from us here, you are safe with us. Cheers & lots of love to you both!!🥂🍾✨🌼🦔👑🎩♥️🦚🖼 🎼🍽🍸🥃

Yes! Where was the ceiling that collapsed (which room)? I wasn’t able to figure out where it was since I don’t know the layout of your home. I know you posted a layout at some point but I am still trying to work my way through old past episodes.

I'm so happy for you and Philipp, Stephanie! I think you make a lovely couple and the age difference is just a stupid societal expectation we should all learn to ignore. I agree with the rest of the people in this comment section: you do not need to do a Q&A about this, I completely respect and understand your wish to keep this private. Of course if you feel like sharing, I will be more than happy to hear more about this, but I just don't want this Q&A to invite more speculation. You already share so much with us and I want you to be happy! :)

With very best wishes to you both, I also agree that there is no need for a Q and A. Wishing you both much happiness in the future together.

I couldn't reply to your reply to my comment about the ceiling. It looked like the collapse was immediately outside the china pantry and Nati's new apartment in the back corridor that exits out into the second courtyard.

Hi Steph as a new patron I am delighted to hear this as I also thought you two were great together and could totally tell at least on his end that he thought the world of you. Like others have said, as a single woman myself- I appreciate the focus on friendships in the vlog and not your love life (although it’s exciting!) please only share what’s best for you. A q and a is not necessary. Take care :)

Oh Stephanie, what dastardly rapscallions C4 are to have done that to you. I had no idea. Sharpen your tongue and give them a good tongue lashing. My name will still be on your Patreon list, no matter what xx

Even though you share most of your life on the internet you have the right to choose what you what to show! I think you are right to keep some parts of your private life private. It is not because you are a public figure that everything has to be public! I wish you all the happiness in the world!

Very courteous. Happy for you both. It very normal that you don’t share your private life. I noticed that when you went on holidays very often Philip was there with you and you had such a lot off fun together…..

I’m so sorry you had your private life outed in a public and unexpected way. I respected you when you said that you wanted to keep your romantic life private and genuinely appreciate the window you make on the community life in your home. Please feel confident to keep the details private. Everyone deserves to have something for themselves and you are entitled to that privacy.

age doesn’t make any difference. A little word to Philip. Proficiat, jullie vormen een mooi koppel. Leuk dat jullie ons bij de neus genomen hebben lol. Niemand heeft iets te maken met jullie privé leven. Jij bent het acteren gewoon hè. Ik hoop oprecht dat je een mooie kamer mag blijven vullen met mahoniehouten meubels en opgezette dieren. Vind dat zelf ook super. Veel geluk aan jullie beiden. Sorry schrijven in Engels is niet mijn sterkste punt. ( vanwege dyslexie)

I'm happy for you, but I agree that you keep these things private. We love watching you and all the Lalanders, and the way the chateau is trsansforming, and I'm glad that you are not lonely because you deserve to be happy, but it is none of our business. No need for a Q&A, everybody is happy for the 2 of you and the way you handled this is very mature, but any details are not for the public, nor for your patreons. We love all of you anyway.

Wow didn't see that coming at all - i thought Phillip was gay, just goes to show we should never assume anything based on what we see or think we see on screen. I'm super glad everyone is happy, I don't need a Q & A on your love life though, I'd prefer it be kept private x

Like so many Patreon’s have said before I’m so sorry that you have had your love life outed on national tv of all things. I’ve always respected you for keeping that part of your life to yourself and I would often say aloud when reading posts on Facebook about either you and Philip or Nati and Amoury (I hope I’ve spelt that right) “it’s private and no one’s business” (I don’t write this as I was taught that if you have nothing nice to say then don’t say anything). I’m really happy for you both as you Stephanie definitely deserve to be happy as you’ve made so many people happy with your vlogs. Take care sweetie xx

The only thing that matters is that you are both happy - nothing else. I actually think its great we don't see all about everyones love life - thats not what Chateau Diaries is about.

It was the blue garlic wasn’t it? hahahaha. I am so very happy for you both! That being said, like many here, I am also of the opinion that a Q&A is not needed on the matter. Naturally people want to share in your happiness but it should be on your terms. Protect your privacy and just know that we support you! Now that that’s done and dusted, we can go back to LaLande shenanigans!

It is very generous of you to offer a Q&A, but it is not at all necessary. Your private life is entirely your own. From all of the comments I have seen here so far, I think it is nearly unanimous that we are so very happy that you are happy, upset that you have been upset, and completely support your private life remaining private from here on. 💜

Kindling media and channel 4 have behaved atrociously. I'm outraged on your behalf. Your private lives are just that. You have let us into as much of your daily lives as you had wanted to, and we have so enjoyed that and feel some small "ownership" of all the things that have happened to improve Lalande. That does not mean the world has the right to know everything. Love and support to all of you from The Limousin.

I guessed it a while back and I am happy for you both, its a shame that C4 did that, they should be ashamed. To hell with the judgers out there. Misogyny is a horrific thing. My FIL had a girlfriend who was 20 years his junior and the reaction was 'good on him' but we rarely hear the same the other way round. So I will say "good on you!" as I am sure all your patreons and real friends will.😘

Enjoy every second of your happiness, who cares about age gap, if you are happy together that is all that matters. Other than saying that I feel that your private life is your own so if I don’t join the live it is not for lack of support it’s just I feel you should be able to have some secrets.

It’s awful that your hand was forced by Ch4, wittingly or unwittingly, but I hope you’re both reading these lovely comments together and maybe feeling a little ‘lighter’ now that you don’t have to work to hide any potential giveaway signs on film. No need for a Q&A you’re both entitled to a private life and I hope you both have a fantastic time enjoying yours together.

As has been said many times above no need for a Q&A everybody deserves a private life. Take a leaf out of Michaels being open on his vlog. Caused a lot of heartache and quite honestly the vast majority of us are not interested it is the escapism in this difficult time of everybody’s life that makes your vlogs so interesting, amusing and meeting so many skilled people. Channel 4 have a lot to answer to especially in their previous series. Hope you will be very happy.❤️❤️🍷🍷🍷

So.. I think to sum up there is a very clear consensus this morning!! No Q&A required. Simples! Any questions would be chateau based and if you wanted to do that My burning question is are you replacing the door to naties apartment and the back corridor to the right of it? As they look more agricultural with no windows and could probably do with an upgrade xx

How about making it a Q & A about updates around the chateau, as I for one was really looking forwarded the first of the month updates. Love to all here xx

If it had been American TV, your probably would have been outted long ago. Commercial TV is only interested in what sells. Sorry you got blind cited. I would think twice about letting that film crew back into your home. Happy for you both. It was bound to happen with him as your shadow, always with you. I was blind to the clues, which is a credit to you both in keeping it secret. No need for a Q&A. It is no one else's business. To address it as if it were a crime, would cast a negative pall. You have done nothing wrong. You are both adults.

I have a 25-year-old-son. I would not wish this on him for the world. The vice-versa situation isn't much better, but at least with a younger woman, a family is still possible. Would you have kept it quiet without the age difference? Also... the lengths you've both gone to in keeping the ruse up must have been exhausting. I will never look at you the same again. Deception is Deception. If a person wants the stardom of TV and YouTube (and all the financial benefits) it should not be obtained nefariously.

Dearest Stephanie, please don't do a Q&A, we don't need one since its a private matter between you and Philip and thats how it should stay. We couldn't be happier for you as you really are made for each other, and it was obvious from the start. Channel 4 had no right in disclosing either of your private lives without permission, but over stepping the mark seems to be a thing today in order to make things more sensational than they are. Age is just a number and it does not matter one tiny that you the older person in the relationship. It doesn't matter to you and Philip and that is the most important thing. Take care of each other, hope the cocktails were successful and we look forward to Philip's interview about himself. Lots of love <3

Dear Stephanie and all at Lalande. I being an out man here in Australia, I know what the shock of something personal being 'Outed' with out consent. It's a terrible shock to have to go through and it not a thing I'd wish on anyone. You do not owe me or anyone details on your personal life, as much as we have to share ours. To anyone who says otherwise there is a saying about glass houses and stones I think... I'm really glad that you have found someone to share those moments, and laughter. Love is love is love in my books And I say enjoy the cocktail, and I can't wait to see your next Patreon update sans private life, as I support you and all who grace Lalande whom ever they maybe!

Dear Stephanie I totally agree with all the comments that your love life is private. You don’t have to explain yourself to us your Patreon at all and you had already said you wouldn’t answer any questions about your love life so you own us nothing. However I think if you didn’t know the tv production company were going to tell the world about your private life, I think they have some questions to answer to you (& Phillip). All that said I’m truly delighted that you & Phillip have fallen in love & it truly couldn’t have happened to a nicer couple, as I too think Phillip is mature beyond his years and neither of you ever expecting Cupid 💘 to be flying about when he arrived as a volunteer - it’s wonderful news and now let’s carry on with the restoring of your beautiful Chateau 🤗 xx

A private life is just that, private. We are not entitled to know about it and you need it. You share so much of yourself with us, generous beyond belief.

We love who we love, period. I am actually glad to hear it because the kindheartedness between the two of you is palpable. I wish you both happiness and joy. You have so much in common and why should age have any bearing on what makes you happy. And I agree with no Q&A is needed. You have enough on your plate, you don't need to add to it with feeling like you have to answer personal questions (or not 😉). Holiday season is upon us and that's challenging in itself. You've told us, that's plenty. I'm really not even sure what questions there could possibly be... And lastly, shame on the the press that did that. They had no right and they have no respect for peoples feelings or their privacy. Hugs to you both!! Enjoy the journey 💖💖

It's nearly 2022, so I would hope that the only emotion coming your way is happiness for you both. Much love 💕

I never ever comment on the internet. Ever. But I’m making an exception here to say GOOD FOR YOU! Keep doing what you’re you’re doing and be happy. You are providing an uplifting service in, what is the moment, very negative world and you shouldn’t have to explain yourself to anybody.

What exciting news! You were simply beaming when speaking of your relationship with Philip. I wish you both much love and happiness. No need for a Q and A. It's really nice of our business. ❤️

Well color me happy. This is such a wonderful thing to hear. You glowed when you talked about Phillip. We all appreciate you sharing your life with us. Just knowing you have each is all we need. Many blessings to you both.

Stephanie, I am reading the comments and many people feel the q and a would go further into your private life and they want to respect it. Can I suggest doing a quick poll then you can act on that? Emma

Hi Steph, I have no questions about your private life - it is yours. What you choose to share ever is up to you, but I would never ask - just hope you're healthy and happy. I do have two questions: 1) Muddled as to where porcelain room is on yesterdays Chateau DIY - comments were turned off on my post! 2) Could you look at your Instagram DM's, as I sent you some interior/exterior/vlog content ideas! PS: Don't worry about the age gap - you're both adults, both happy with your choice - doesn't matter what others think. Just enjoy! :)

I am so happy you found each other! ❤️

Age is just a number. What a wonderful thing to find a best friend, a partner that shares your interests. It’s evident y’all enjoy each other company. How wonderful! I agree with others that say a Q & A is not necessary. You don’t need to answer questions about your love life! It’s none of our business.

I agree that no q&a is necessary! But I would love to know if that’s why you and Philip both have matching signet rings. 😉😘 You’ve made a beautiful life for yourself and am so happy for both you and Philip!!

OMG! Now I have to rewatch all the interactions between you two on the vlogs. I'll get nothing done today. And I can't help but imagine the frolicking going on behind the scenes in that chateau. Ohh I'm so excited. Best news I've heard in a long time and so fun. Thank you for sharing your lives with us.

It is so nice to follow what's happening in Lalande. Please keep protecting your privacy. You bring so much joy as it is. Anyways Happy for you two! <3

I had noticed such caring in his eyes and voice for you. It is lovely to know it is reciprocal. <3 Love is a wonderful thing. I am so sorry for your privacy though. I would be appalled if something like that what released without my consent, you have done well to manage your privacy so far. Now I know why Phillip doesn't answer the 'How long do you intend to be at LaLande?' question!! Sending huge love to both of you. So glad you have each other in all of this, always have been, whether as friends or more. <3 Xx

This was an absolutely lovely start to my Thursday, finding out that two people who spend so much of their time making others joyful have found that same happiness between themselves. Stephanie, you, nor Philip owe us a Q&A, we love and respect you both and I am annoyed that Channel 4 thought that sharing the information would be appropriate. Thank you, Philip, and everyone at the glorious Chateau de Lalande for enriching our lives.

What a wonderful surprise! I thought you were going to deny it as simply a mistake by channel 4! I'm sorry your personal life was revealed without you being the one to share, but hopefully all the love and support the two of you will receive will make it all better. So happy for the two of you! 🥰

Stephanie, we care about you and Philip and just want to be supportive in any way we can to you both, as well as all the other Lalanders. You’ve managed to create such a special place at the Château - it transcends the confines of YouTube and we genuinely feel a part of it. It was obvious from the first time Philip really appeared and reupholstered the sofa that you two were kindred spirits whether that relationship was romantic or not. Shame on Channel 4 for revealing information that should have been private and respected as such, it’s irrelevant to restoration of the Chateau. Honestly, all my questions for Philip have to do with how his taste evolved, and how he amassed such a comprehensive knowledge of such things as porcelain, furnishings, and cutlery. Did he have a mentor on these subjects in the Netherlands? Did he work in an antique store or was the information gathered through research and reading alone? What objects and periods interest him the most? Topics like that are what I’d like to know more about in the future, your romantic lives are your own. Sending ❤️ and support from Washington, DC.

How lovely to hear your news and thank you for telling us the situation, although like many others I think that Channel Four should have respected your privacy, it seems a shame as we have watched you always treat the filming people with great friendliness. I guess the media is always the media and the story comes first! That said, you are quite right going forward to only share what is comfortable for you both and I wish you great happiness and joy.

As I feared, one of the group moderators has written a long post about this. Comments have been turned off but the post was still not necessary. The public is not owed an explanation. A private life is just that. I agree with no need to have a Q & A. I don't think Stephanie even needed to explain to her Patreon folks as we didn't need to know. That she shared this very private part of her life with us is a privilege we, in turn, should protect and respect.

Definitely, no q&a needed. We have no right to stick our noses in your personal business. You’re both adults and don’t have to answer to anyone. Being your patrons doesn’t give us the right to ask anything about your love life. But I’d love to know when the downstairs loo will be finally finished! Hahaha

I echo the comments above. There is no call for you to justify your personal life choices by doing a Q&A.

Sincere love and best wishes 💕

I also agree. Stephanie, we all are here because we love the people and the culture of Lalande and if the acknowledgment of your relationship changes anyone's opinion they can quietly go elsewhere. I hope you reconsider the Q&A. It is not necessary for those of us who truly care about you. But ultimately you must do what feels right to you.

Totally love and support you. You and Philip seem to have such a soul connection. Your interests seem to intertwine so well together. I would still be interested in having Philip interviewed and asked the questions you asked Selmar , Gerry , Cat etc.. I am always interested in what drew a person to come to La Lande. All the very best 💕💖

I'm with you, Denise. Steph does not need to do a Q & A. Her relationship is her business. I'd rather they protect themselves from further scrutiny. Channel 4 put it out there; they've addressed it where they believed they should. That's enough. None of the folx at LaLande owes us a thing.

My first thoughts are that this is such a betrayal on the part of channel 4 and that they let it out for the sole purpose to raise ratings/viewings. I don't think that I could ever trust them again but such is the industry. It is so thoughtful and kind of you to share this part of your life with us but it is still none of our business, or Channel 4's and most of England's either! Love and the very best wishes to you both!

In follow up to my previous comment, if there is a silver lining at all, perhaps filming and editing to avoid hints at a relationship won't be so stressful or fraught anymore. I can only imagine that many times you've had to consider if some film was good or if it hinted too much at something. Now that the cat is out of the bag, of course you don't need to address it, but if something slips into a vlog (a look, or something said) it's not really a big deal for speculation anymore. Keeping a secret, or something specifically out of the limelight is very difficult and I can imagine it is stressful. So I hope at the very least, any stress it may have cause can fade away

Not the least surprised since I suspected something more than just friendship a long time ago. All I can say is…..You go girl! Nothing wrong with a woman dating a younger man. I have a friend who dated a man in his early 20’s when she was in her early 40’s. Despite the age difference, they were very compatible. They married after a few years and 23 yrs later are still very happy together. I am a romantic and love to hear how people fell in love, but it is up to you both what you want to share. Just be happy!

As so many said, I'm just happy you're happy. In fact - the term - compersion, is very much top of mind - finding happiness in someone else's relationship excitement, even though it has nothing to do with you. I have also dated much younger than my age, and have experienced tremendous loneliness. This little bit of vicarious joy is welcomed. Thank you for trusting us with this news, and the only reason we'd need a Q&A is if it would make you happy to share more info with us - we'd be happy to listen, but you don't owe anyone further details. I wish you both every happiness together. <3

I had my suspicions that this was the case but wasn’t going to ask. It would have been for it to come out when you wanted, not a surprise like this. Was it just a case of producers not knowing it wasn’t supposed to be public, or a case of them creating drama. Is it just a coincidence that C4 is also the name of an explosive used by the military? Since it was outed I don’t see how you don’t address it on the main channel videos, but it doesn’t have to be more than acknowledgement. Ignoring it won’t necessarily keep it anymore private. And haters gonna hate, don’t let either of them get you down. This video did raise some questions, but you, or the two of you get to decide what you are sharing.

Never normally comment but… As a Brit have to say that’s exceedingly rude of channel 4. I hope they’ve apologised! All that matters is you are happy!

The only other bit i'd add - I hope this...eases any stress you might have experienced working to keep the relationship out of the spotlight, and that having it out open (even though it's a shame it wasn't cleared with you first) ultimately enables you less worry as you edit and interact.

My mother was 7 years older than my father, and back then (and still today in many circles and places), it was a scandal. My poor mom who always looked younger than her age, lied all her life about being the same age as dad, so people would not criticize her. They had children and were married until they both died, within nine month's of each other, despite my dad being younger. She left, and he followed. It is so ridiculous and unfortunate that in this 21st century, we still have the double standard for men and women.

Oh Steph, I woke up to this in Australia watching while making morning coffee. I'm so so sorry that this has happened to you. I was actually teary because you and Phillip absolutely deserve your privacy. Not that it matters but I never guessed you were a couple. I just thought you were the best of friends which I is the same thing really. Anyway I am trilled to bits for you both. Phillip is such an amazing soul just like you. Both stars together in the nights sky. Sending huge huge huge positive energy, love and hugs.

You are such an inspiration!Congratulation to you both ❤️ I also feels that a live Q&A on this topic is unnecessary, your private life is yours!

I had no idea! I hope ch4 apologise to you for putting you in this position. Perhaps it will be a weight off in the end as you won’t need to hide it. Please, no need for a Q&A on this - you deserve to keep whatever you choose to yourselves! X

This makes me so HAPPY!! You both deserve all the love in the world. There was a moment in one of your videos, not long after Philip had arrived, where you had walked into the kitchen, said something to him and he reacted to you with the loveliest, somewhat flirty way and it made my heart flutter. Every girl should have someone who looks at her that way! So so so happy for you both.

Stephanie, you deserve the best and so you shall have it. We love you both and are so happy for you. Phillip is so perfect for you and you for him. Life will go no matter what anyone else thinks. Have a cocktail for me. Looking forward to Friday. Salut fro Massachusetts.

I am a shy soul, so I never leave comments—I simply watch all your vlogs and enjoy the content because it's just lovely and because it provides a much-needed escape from the chaos of my daily life.... However, it upset me so much to learn how your only private tidbit became so public! How mortifying! What a major faux-pas on the part of Channel 4; I sincerely hope someone has reached out to you both to apologize. Other than that, your community of loyal viewers is here to continue to enjoy the Château Diaries. Please keep as much of your lives as private as you both wish. No further explanation is needed. I will continue to quietly enjoy the content and support your endeavors as a Lady of Lalande. 😌 Best wishes to you always. xx

We know now….so sorry it was not your choice to let us know. Just carry on with the privacy, though it is a bit changed. We need know nothing more than what you let on. All who move about the chateau have private lives; I just assume it’s information not necessary to relate the story of your vlogs.

I feel the the same as @Chiara beautifully said. Congratulations Step and Phillip. 🎉❤️🎉 I just don’t comment either as I feel it an amazing privilege to a patron so grateful to be here. I actually through that you might have had a relationship together a while ago. You both started wearing similar rings. It was just the way you both looked at each other too. Your happiness and Phillips is the most important. Please don’t feel like you both need to share anything. It does warm my heart to know how happy you are. So thank you for letting us know you both are happy. That’s the most important. All our Love and may you and Phillip continue to have all the happiness together. ❤️🎉❤️

Stephanie, I am sorry that C4 shared this information which was not theirs to disclose. I think you have every right to keep your private life as well as your health status private. You share enough with the world. I guessed awhile ago about you two, hoping it was true because Phillip is a wonderful man and because you two share so many of the same interests. The age difference was not a problem for Diane de Poitiers and Henry II, and it is not an issue for the Macrons, so who is to judge? I wish you continuing happiness together! Love to you both!!

Congrats Stephanie. I had no idea at all. Well played. I thought Phillip may have a boyfriend of his own, so this this took me by surprise. But I am happy for you both and wish you well. There’s an age difference? Who cares. Please continue to keep precious aspects of your life just to yourself. You deserve privacy and a Q&A is unnecessary. 🤗

I agree with all that is said here. I also had an idea that you and Philip were very close. It didn't need to be spelled out but since it's out in the open, it's absolutely sweet. You seem to have so much in common. Long live love.

Dearest Stephanie and Phillip, I saw the Vlog last night and told you how very happy I am for both of you. Throughout today I've kept coming back and read the sweet caring Comments. I hope we have all convinced you not to do a live Q & A. The thought of you leaving yourselves open and possibly venerable really concerns me. I can not watch that. I will start to watch your Vlog in hopes you end up doing the Monthly Chateau update, which I, and others, are very interested in. Wishing you both much love and happiness.

You have done such an amazing job of keeping all the ch 4 projects secret, such a shame they could not extend you the same courtesy with your private life. Don't do a Q&A, you may regret it in the future and willingly put more pressure on you to keep sharing. Enjoy your relationship and let it bring you joy in all the stress and chaos of renovations and filming. You and Philip are lovely souls and a perfect match, keep that for yourselves you both deserve it. All the best to you both.

I think the most burning question on everyone’s mind is…what is the status of the downstairs loo???? 😂

Hi Stephanie, I’m very happy for you and Phillip. I’m 11 years older than my husband. People would ask is this your son or younger brother. When we went to restaurants they always gave me the check. I used to tease him and call him coco my pool boy (I didn’t even have a pool) lol. We have been married for 18 years and together a total of 26 years. I’m now 59 and he is 47. He gets me. I sure Philip gets you too. Enjoy and continue to have fun!!

I agree with others that no Q&A is necessary.

particularly as channel 4 insist on exclusivity for any projects that maybe your true supporters would love to be involved in in real time rather than after the event. And the inconvenience of hiding information regarding this filming and projects from your financial supports for months even a year until channel 4 decide to show on tv.

Best wishes and all happiness to you and Phillip, I probably won't tune into your live chat because I agree, you deserve to keep a part of your life private. You share so much of yourself already and I'm happy to be able to peer into the life of the chateau which is really all any of us ever signed on for.

Katie Roberts Art

I say do whatever you feel Steph, and Phillip. I respect and trust your judgment on this. I would love to hear more about your love lives tbh, but in that way that you describe – as friends chatting excitedly and confidentially about such things. As I love talking about love, relationships and sexuality and all those fun things! I'm unconventional and curious by nature and find these things wonderfully interesting and not taboo at all. I know that that is not so common, but I wish it was. So just to voice another view, I'm up for a Q&A but ONLY if you actually want to do it... perhaps if not tonight, one day at the Chateau itself over a late night cocktail would feel like the right setting!! If I am ever lucky enough to visit there and share your company. I trust that you have discussed, thought through and considered it all. So whatever feels right and is comfortable for you. Stand by your decision, or change it to the Phillip interview and discuss some aspects you feel comfortable with maybe? Just an idea if you're looking for an alternative to the Q&A, which I would still love. Don't feel pressured either way. It's your Patreon, do what you want to. We will love you either way. Biggest love coming your way. Xx

Wow there are a lot of loyal fans here! Behive who? Ok everyone is being super nice, and yes we all don't care, you go gurl. Live your life. Private and all that. BUT. If you are offering Q&A, the only thing I would want to know is when you started dating... The only super nosey thing I want to know is if Phillip was smitten before or after he came to Chateau. OK OK OK Javis footsoldiers don't come for me! Stephanie said we could ask. It's up to her and Phillip if they choose to answer. xoxo Peace and love

I feel very protective about Stephanie and all the la landers and I cannot help but feel Channel 4 are taking advantage of Stephanie generosity of spirit and this was a huge invasion of privacy totally unrelated to the ‘project’ For which she does not enjoy any financial recompense.

No need for a live Q&A on this topic although if you want to do one we could turn it into a mini start of the month update as it seems as tho we would have been getting the Phillip interview instead. That you can answer the 1 or 2 questions you want to clear up and then go back to chatting about the chateau as planned.

Stephanie & Phillipe: Congratulations to you both! I think this is wonderful news and you are so generous in sharing. Like a lot of other people, I thought there was something special between you, but as many have said, friendship and caring shines through and is always the basis for love, or should be, and anything beyond that was none of my business. I am one of the original patrons (at least I have been since the beginning) but am a silent patron and do not post, even though you and your family, friends, chateau are one of my favorite things. I actually became a patron before seeing all of your vlogs because there was something about you, your story, and your life that struck a chord with me. I think that is why so many of us care about you and what goes on in your life – you seem like that best friend that we may be a little envious of, but love so much that we want the best for and will support in any way possible. I also do not send gifts, even though there are so many lovely people that do, but I would like to send you the letter that might have come with the gift by way of this post. Like I said, I watch your vlogs every day and as soon as they are available. I have a grandson who is 13. He comes every summer for a visit with his Mimi. Last year when he was here, I was watching Chateau Diaries and asked him to watch with me. He reluctantly did, once, because as he put it, it was ‘not his thing’. He did, however, say he loved the chateau and enjoyed the ‘tour’. Fast forward to this summer. His school has a ‘summer school’ which is sort of like a day camp and he goes to it every year. This year they had a project where the students chose a vacation and planned everything on a budget, including airline tickets, hotels, food, etc. He chose Paris and Chateau de la Lalande as his vacation destinations. He even researched your website for bookings on line and chose the room he wanted to stay in, Chambre de Roger. When I asked him why he did that, he said because you love is so much Mimi and I wanted to share that with you. Now, that is love. That is what I see you and Phillip have. A shared love of so many things, and that is a rarity. Your life is yours, not ours. Please do not feel you have to share any of your private details. I would enjoy a Q and A as always because they are fun, but not at your expense. Updates only please as per usual first of the month. Keep on making light, love and laughter the rest of your life! Congratulations again from me and Tyler, my wonderful grandson who is my light, love and laughter ❤ ps sorry this is so long, but just consider it 2 year's worth of comments rolled into one!🥰

Agreed, I found Chateau Diaries on you tube alone. I do not have access to channel 4. I find Stephanie’s channel entertaining, and enjoyable. I enjoy the people, and the chateau. It’s true reality tv in a French chateau. I love Stephanie’s personality, her success comes from her and her hard work to get her channel out there.

Hi Stephanie, it was obvious that Phillipe was more than just your camera man so your decision to clarify is appreciated. Please don't change the shows content to make it into a love story about you and Phillipe. The show is great just as it is . One more thing you said something about moving your extended intro to your youtube page. Are you and Dan working on a new intro cause there's been alot of changes to the exterior of lelande and the footage doesn't reflect the improvements. I look forward to watching your vlogs and the advent season coming soon.

Dear Stephanie and Phillip, many blessings to you both. That you have found each other is so wonderful! I am saddened at the reprehensible way Channel 4 outed you both. Totally, totally inexcusable on their part. Your private life should remain private. You have acted in such a lovely, graceful way about this shocking betrayal of your personal life. Please do not feel that you need a Q & A over this. You announced to us all with your usual grace and charm. And that truly is enough. Gently close that door, and allow yourselves a private part to your lives. All of the LaLanders deserve that, and you and Phillip most definitely do! May Love and Happiness be yours. 💖

I do not get channel 4 UK in Britain here in USA. I feel it is reprehensible that those idiots had such a lack of discretion, shame on them.

Its your life, I wish you both all the deepest happiness and love - may you two enjoy all the blessings of life! Cheers to you both.

I feel so angry that something so personal was disclosed by the media and without your consent!

Not really interested in your private life tbh. But I am disappointed to hear that you crossed the employer / volunteer barrier, which, for me is a business faux pas. I am however more concerned about the amount of unfinished projects and when they may near completion. Most notably the downstairs loo, pergola, grand salon, and apartments x2 not to mention the plan for the almost complete upstairs bathroom. Which is now hovering above? Nothing?

To love and be loved is a wonderful and joyous thing........and I’m of the belief it should be shouted from the roof tops when it happens......that’s just me. (I’ve been married now 44 years)......

After thinking about this announcement and really not caring....I started to wonder. Did he start to get paid before or after becoming her boyfriend? Either way seems odd. And no 1st of the month update. No new intro. No updates on goals, short term and long term, and now no Thursday video.

Anyone knows what's going on? Is she posting today, or still busy with Channel 4 filming...by the way, I'd be furious with them! And they don't even get paid, as far as I know. I wanted to add, that I hope it has nothing to do with this announcement. For what I've read here, none of us is bothered by it, as it should be, and it makes no difference with our patronage. I hope they're reading here, and see our reactions. Could she be getting negative feedback in private messages? Hope not. Anyways...waiting for something...

Stephanie and Phillip please don’t let this particular “uncalled for media reveal” put either of you or any relationship under pressure, I’m sure we all feel warmth towards you both and hope that this is a lasting relationship, however if for any reason, at some point in the future you find that it’s time to move on I would not want either of you to feel that again you would be under the spotlight, for that reason I understand why you have kept your private life private in the past. Enjoy your time together now, you share so many interest’s and appear very well suited. Ignore any unsupported comments and make the most of your time together and as much as possible protect your private life as your own business. I support what you are doing to restore the chateau I love the in-depth research that goes into your travel, history and education of specific topics. Of course I also enjoy watching all the characters and interactions that are working to achieve the running and achievement of various projects, but there are and quite rightly privacy limits.

Are we curious sometimes about all the wonderfulLaLande family- of course. Please take care of yourselves first. Make the most of your life and we will continue to enjoy whatever you share.

I HAD NO IDEA!!!! I always got annoyed with people when they assumed you two were dating, only because anytime you were on camera with any guy many people would make that assumption. Anyway, very happy for you two! Also, it really is annoying the double standard - many aren't bothered when the guy is a bit (or a lot!) older, but if its in reverse, people have such an issue :(

Just watched this video, tbh it never crossed my mind, and what goes on in your personal life is up to you to share or not and I honestly respect that. It should never be questioned in my opinion. Anyway, all the best to you both xx💕

I'm so happy for you both. Live, laugh, love together, and don't give a thought to those of a negative disposition. I think you are beautiful together xx

I had just assumed it were so, or I should say hoped it was for Philips sake because I could see that he truly adores you! I also felt surely it wasn’t any if my business or concern.

I had hoped. He’s amazing and so are you! Congrats.

I'm so sorry your privacy was violated like that! I wonder why channel 4 thought that was ok? Relationships for me, should be as privet or as open as the people involved want them to be, and nothing more!! I wish you both the best and lots of love.

Wishing both of you much happiness. It's too bad your privacy has been violated. Unacceptable.

Now that this is official… (which I have secretly hoped for) can I hope that some day there will be a similar announcement for Amory and Nati? 💕 no need to respond. Just hoping that love and happiness blooms for two kind, smart and amazing people. I feel like all at la lande are friends who I hope find love and happiness ❤️❤️

Can someone please explain to me how the livestream works and how to join it? I've never done it before and am technically challenged. 🤯🤯🤯

Yeah, there were a few things that gave the game away. It’s nobody’s business. We just want you all to be happy.

Bless your sweet heart. When he took you to the hospital I thought I knew. He was so caring and dear. I'm thrilled for you both. Lonely is not a good thing. Everyone should have the opportunity to choose their life and to have their closest relationship be private. Sending happy hugs from America!😘

Sorry your privacy was violated. Very happy for you both though. Sending you both love and support. (still laughing about what Isobel said haha). x

I must say i do get why someone would react to the age gap. I mean i think People have been notecing that Phillip is at least 100 years older then Stephanie. And his young looks are nothing more than a effect of beeing a vampire. He Even turns garlic blue and his diet is very strange….😊😊

With my sensible hat on….I understand how you want it to be private and wholeheartedly agree …..because if god forbiid either of you decide in the future to move on then the blog/brand/chateau restoration is not effected. That’s why I’m a supporter of Phillip being a cast member not a lead…..not cos he isn’t lovely but because the is stephanies chateau diaries. Meant positively not in any way negatively…..sometimes you don’t just have to be protective of private life from public but public life from private matters! Sensible hat now removed 😂

So happy for the both of you!!! Love has no age limits and you both make a beautiful couple. Being together and happy is all that matters. We had so much fun last week visiting La Lande. You guys made are stay so memorable. Cannot wait to visit again in the future!!!

Share only what you wish to share. I believe the Patrons look at you all as family and would we would never want to intrude on a family members privacy. We appreciate the honesty, and wish you and Philip all the best ❤️❤️

In Regard to Niamh’s comment I believe if you have been here since the beginning of the pandemic (as I have) you would know Chateau projects are never ending, it’s constant, when one thing stops another begins. The courtyard looks absolutely stunning, the forests around the chateau are beautifully hemmed the walled garden is in a pretty beautiful state. Also starting many projects at once means that more things will be completed at once. It is a process. CHEERS

I’m so happy for you both!!!! Guttered that’s you’ve been outed without your wanting to be to as I think it makes 100% sense to keep your private life private. But still sooooo happy for you ❤️❤️❤️

If you picked a person for their laugh alone! Phillip would be at the very top of the list. Wishing you both the best!

I am really happy for you both and was sorry to think of you being lonely.

Oops…. I do wonder if boundaries for other bloggers in the house should be made as Selmar plainly filmed Ruth… Marie had already filmed you and Philip and now this…. I do feel you will then have control over any future relationships being shown as if not careful this is going to damage the brand and working situations and relationships working and private in the home? I have been here from the beginning and am passionate about their channel and it’s success remaining.

Anonymous

Darling Steph, I had guessed, way back, that you and Phillip were a couple, and a wonderful one, at that. I have been delighted for both of you, ever since. I support your keeping that part of your life private, of course. Though I do get sparkles of joy, when I catch tiny glimpses of your coupleness.

Wahoo!! You two are so perfect together!! I’m glad I wasn’t imaging the connection! I hope you both continue to be happy and enjoy life together!

I have to admit that though your love life is none of my business, I have wondered about it. You’re so lovely and charming, it seems all the men in France must be blind to your obvious appeal. So, Phillip is the lucky one to have found you. Happy for the two of you and good luck!

I am not on here very often but just saw your video on YouTube. The nerve of them telling the whole world your private business, I am disgusted! You are such a diplomat, Stephanie, and that is one of the many reasons we all love you. You and Phillip are the sweetest, kindest souls and you both deserve great happiness together. My whole family watches your vlog and we are all so happy for you both. But like you said, that is your private life and none of our business. Just keep being you and take care of yourself. We can't wait to see the Advent Calendar shows coming up. You make our days brighter.

Dear Stephanie, age is just a number! I have with my fiancée 10 years age gap and it's like nothing. I'm the older one, but with young and sometimes childish soul and my other half is the wise one. :)) So I understand, because from the start I was careful and was afraid about opinions from my friends and family. Wishing you both many happy years together. Of course we are curious, but no need to explain any details if you are not comfortable. We love you and Philip dearly. Just be happy and enjoy your life together. I'm really happy for you both and can't wait for more vlogs from you! <3

I'm actually thrilled to bits you've found each other, I love you both dearly. It also means that Philip's not going anywhere so that's reassuring :) , it's always so hard when you get really attached to everyone at the chateau and then they leave. Much love to you both x

Chanel 4 had no right to put out that information! I have suspected for quite a while now and I think it's wonderful and send you both well wishes, congratulations, blessings all of it!!

My mother remarried the love of her life 30 years ago and he was almost 10 years younger than she was. "When you truly love someone, age doesn't matter whether it is a difference of 2 years or 30 years, Love is Love."

Anonymous

My mother was 16 years older than my dad. It's not a big deal for me but I did see how some people treated them about the age difference. I hope people treat you and Phillip with respect to such a great relationship. I just thought you were best friends and had no idea. I think that shows a very healthy relationship though and you both seem really happy. I'm glad mummy approves.

I had no idea, but had thought you and Phillip are like peas in a pod so it's excellent news. Kindness, niceness, good humour and caring, you both have in spades and well deserve what you both put out into the world to be reciprocated. Really beaut news, thanks for sharing it with us, I'm happy to respect your privacy, I have no questions: I just wish you both well xxx ..... actually no... wait ...I do have a question.. does he have a brother?? ( cheeky grin)

Stephanie, I've just been able to catch up here and had to send love to both you and Phillip. It is incredibly honoring that you would share this with all of us here. I'm so sorry that you didn't get to do this on your own terms, that feels like such a violation, but you once again met that adversity with incredible openness and fortitude. I am endlessly happy that two such special people have found each other. Life is short. Enjoy one another! God bless you both. xoxo, Staci in Chicago

Dearest Stephanie and Philip, I think you are a beautiful couple and I’m so happy for you both. For a long time I thought you were so great together and I hoped that you’d get together . As the person above me said”life is short “. Hold on to each other and never let go . 🥰🥰

I'm so sorry your private life was outed and it caused you distress. I watch your vlogs for Chateau and grounds restorations and improvements and I enjoy them tremendously. If y'all are happy in your private life, I am happy for you. Now let's talk paneling and pergolas :)
