I would never want Stephanie to be afraid of her viewers. We all appreciate The Chateau Diaries so much! We watch Stephanie's life as guests, not as governors.
Very well said! This is not a place for fear, or judgement (unless you purchase hideous tableware..😂) this is a place for the celebration of a life well lived.
Beautifully said! I'm so appreciative of all that she shares as it is, I'd hate for this vlog to feel invasive for her or her chateau family. Thank you Stephanie!
I'm so sorry that this part of your life was shared with us when you wanted to keep it private. No one deserves to have personal details like that leaked. Please know that I will love and support you no matter what happens in your life. You have brought me so much joy and contentment and I'm so grateful to have you as a part of my life. All the joy and happiness to you xx
I think the fact you have both been wearing similar rings on your left hands was a slight giveaway. Congratulations. You will have a wonderful life and a lot of fun. Bless you both.
So happy for you both, you're made for each other. My son married our lovely daughter in law over 20 years ago and there is a 20 year difference (my son the younger) and they have been blissfully happy, as both families are too. Love to you both, life is for living and not for judging.
Yes. OMG. I am shocked. So happy. Secret romance!!! I'm all smiles, do I believe in love??? Just when I m convinced magic doesn't happen to girls over 40. Philip is gorgeous.
Excellent! Congratulations! It's perfectly acceptable for men to date younger women and what's good for the goose is good for the gander. My husband is only 7 years younger than me but his age would never have been a problem.
I tend to date men 15+ years older than me and no one blinks. So annoying that when it's the woman who's older suddenly it's "odd". Age is a number...everyone needs to get over it. Congrats to you and your hubby
@@Danielle-L yes date older I am 7 years older than my husband I am retired at 60 and I have to wait for him to catch up to buy our retirement home someplace hot.
Great achievement 17 yrs. Are your SMVs both similar? I bet you role reverse from time to time if the female side is dominant. If you guys are up for revealing how you trick biology any other way I'm sure ppl would be interested. Me included. Thanks for sharing :0)
Yes! I’m 13 years and 3 months older than my husband and we met when he was 26 and I was 39. We now have19 year old son and been together 21 years! Still very happy! He treats me like Gold!!💜🌈💜
I am so happy for you and Philip. I have known for a long time and always supported this relationship. Putting your personal life on TH-cam can be very stressful for both partners and hasn’t always gone well for me. You two work very well together. So glad it’s all out in the open now. Here’s to the future xxxxxx
He's perfect for you ! He is truly your equal in kindness, creativity, interest in historical items , joy in the Chateau projects and art. We wish you many years of happiness.
So true about Stephanie having a young soul and Phillip having the old one, I am just so delighted about the news and that they have found happiness together!
Relationships between 2 consenting adults are really none of my business. That being said, I’m so happy that you have found happiness with someone ❤️ 💜 💐 🌸 😊
I’m sorry the boundary you had in place was taken away. That must be difficult. As always you handle every challenge with such grace. I hope you are able to restore the boundaries you need and deserve.
I did hear it from Chateau DIY, Steph, but I think many of us on here already realised as you complement each other so very well! I’m glad you were able to tell us personally and I am delighted for you both. Big hugs.
Kudos to you both for so successfully keeping a boundary!! I’m sorry the boundary was taken away for both of you without your consent. To be honest, I am so here for the two of you as a couple. I wish you both so much love, joy, happiness, and laughter!!!💖God bless the pair of you!!!💖
I'm so sorry that this leak happened. I'm sure this has all been an emotional roller coaster for you having your private life revealed. However, in the typical Stephanie style, you have handled it with class! Bravo Stephanie! I had already guessed and could not be happier for you both!
When two lovely people find each other, all we can do is rejoice for their happiness. My brother met, fell in love and married a woman older than he was. They had the most beautiful relationship and were an example of total love and support. So happy for you. 🌺
I suspected for a while. Two peas in a pod. ;) He showed many times his sincere concern and care for Stephanie. I am happy for them both. They are too cute together. :)
@@kristibeisecker yes l did too, but also the night he took Stephanie to the hospital and spent the cold night in the car waiting for her, then it is what make me start thinking . I am so happy for them!!!! So exciting !!!
Happy for for Phillip and you, but, I am even happier that Dan and Amaury have found each other, could there be a better bromance on this planet. Life at La Lande, full of Life, love and happiness!
Enjoy! Age is just a number. My partner is 12 years younger than me. It won’t last they said, well here we are 22 years later and more in love than ever. Be happy. X
So happy for you both. I can’t say it’s a huge surprise given that you go on holiday together and spend a lot of time together. It came across that you were so comfortable in each other’s company so good luck to you both and do hope you will be very happy. Now it’s out in the open I’m sure life will be easier as you won’t have to worry anymore.
She had to have courage because she said she was scared. She was hesitant to share this in an unfortunately judging world. Imagine how being so open and vulnerable must feel when she’s speaking to a camera and a ring light not knowing until posted what comments she will receive. She care because she’s invested so much of her life in building this channel and relationships with so many of her subscribers and patrons whom she also cares a great deal about. Now she has complete confirmation and validation that she made a great choice to share her life more openly with those whose lives she touches so deeply. And we are so happy for her and for Philip to finally be able to be free, real and unscripted in their interactions, with us.
You deserve privacy where you want it Steph! I'm sorry that the show revealed something so personal. That being said, we are all rooting for your happiness.
What a great way to “break the ice” after your lovely announcement than to giggle behind the camera about Dan’s mustache! You crack me up, Stephanie! Wonderful news. Age is just a number. You’re both so kind and interesting, and well loved. 💕
You cannot hide the chemistry you both share, however that was your story to tell or not to tell. Age is only a number. You both are cut from the same cloth meaning you belong together. Wishing you both love, health and happiness.❤️❤️❤️🇨🇦
I adore Philp and the main sterling quality I recognize in him is his soft, kind & loving heart. He is a throwback to olden times when men were gentlemen; when men were chivalrous; when men possessed lovely manners. All these qualities, Philip does possess. He knows more about things than some 60 or 70 year old men. So, let us forget about age and gauge our experiences on what the heart feels. You, Stephanie, are a fairy creature anyway, carrying yourself with a refreshing childlike wonder at the magic you see around every corner and everything your eyes alight. Yes, you two capture the love you have, born of each others inner light, shared interests, joy & kindness. Thank you for sharing this. Now you can be even more relaxed and natural in your Fairyland existence. The universe has chosen to shower your world with abundance and your light attracts one lovely soul after the next. It is all good, all a Blessing, all truly Magical!
One question I'd like to ask Stephanie (even though this vid is a year old) is about her families relationship with Gerald. How on earth does he keep his strong Scottish accent? It's one thing that channel 4 have him wearing tartan for filming and him getting 'into character' when ch4 are there but I've heard him talking in his strong accent in the background of things filmed on "Lalande Cam" From what I can gather is that Gerry's mum worked for Stephanie's parents at the nursing home and that Gerry lived there with his mother and has been rather like an older brother to Stephanie. So, I've done a little bit of research and found that Gerry lives/runs a taxi company from the village where Ed Sheeran owns quite a few properties so I don't know how Scotland comes into his life. I came here from Chateau DIY so have only ever known of Philip as Stephanie's boyfriend. He is a wonderful soul.
Your story is mine! There is a considerable age gap between my gorgeous husband and me. It was interesting at the beginning, as so many judged and had an opinion when really it was none of their business. The only thing that is important is the love you and Philip have for each other. Nothing else matters. I’m so happy for you both 💞
You know I always had a feeling you were together. I saw how close you two were and how you traveled together a lot. The soul doesn’t have an age and when you find another soul that makes you feel complete it doesn’t matter what physical age you are.
I felt it in my gut that you and Philip could be a couple. WONDERFUL, 26 years between me and my partner, he is younger than me, and been together 16 years. GOD BLESS you both. LOVE is the key. xx
Why is the television show not afraid of backlash? I think your style is artistic and neat historical, not flamboyant or how it was described. I hope you and Phillip much happiness.
Congratulations to you both. Having been married for nearly 50 years. You do make a very happy ,hardworking and very suited couple. Age is just a number. ❤️❤️
I have never been so happy, the two of you are two halves of a coin, soulmates. Age is just that, happiness is everything. I wish the two of you nothing but love, laughter and happiness x
I'm very sorry this private information got shared without either your consent. That's unacceptable. Still, very happy for both of you, putting the love in "a chateau full of life, love and laughter"!
My parents married in 1950. My mother was older by several years than my father. They were married for over 50yrs. They taught us you don’t have a relationship with the age you have a relationship with the person!! Congratulations to you both. Enjoy and celebrate. Joan
I very rarely comment as I don't feel I'm very good with words and someone has usually said beautifully what's in my head already 😉its strange for me because having watched from the very first of your video's, I feel like I know you like a very dear friend and of course you haven't a clue who I am 🤭🤭I'm sure many of your subscribers feel the same. I'm so very happy for you both ❤❤❤xx
Congratulations to you both. It doesn’t matter what anyone thinks. Life is short be happy. You are both just the most amazing, lovely people it’s wonderful that you have found each other. X
I agree wholeheartedly with with Lynsey’s sentiments! It’s like she plucked the words right out of head. Thank you Lynsey. 🤭😁 Congratulations to you both Stephanie. What matters in this life is your ability to find happiness and love. I’m thrilled for you both.
@@DaKotaCole I'm shocked, very very happy. I would have bet my house on Philip being gay. And I've loved him completely no matter who he dated, gorgeous man. But I'm so blown away!!! And happy. LaLande is so beautiful, romantic, I'm glad somebody there is in love. WOW.OMG
I’m happy for you both. You seem so well matched. My English uncle married a woman 21 years his senior and they were happily married for over 50 years! They had so many things in common and were the best of friends as well. You are fortunate to have found each other. Blessings on your love for one another.
Sorry that you were outed on TV. Thats disappointing that they did that to you two. That said I’m very happy for you guys!! My sister and her husband are 20 years apart and they are such a great couple. Age is just a number 😉 Wishing you all the happiness together ❤️
My cousin is dating someone 20 years younger than him and they are going to counseling together to figure it out. So happy to hear your sister and brother in law are happy together. It gives me hope!
I am very happy to hear this news but it was very unethical of the television to tell the world without your permission. They are lucky you are such a kind person.
A huge smile on my face to hear two such kindred spirits have found each other. Both such loving, kind and generous people I am sorry you were forced into sharing something you wanted to keep private but hope it is an opening to bring in more life, love and laughter. Xxxx
So happy both of you have found each other! In this harsh world it’s beautiful to see two people so suitably matched. Snatch every bit of happiness wherever it can be found! Thank you for trusting us with such intimate details!! Wishing you both all the best!
I've been binge watching the Château Diaries for the last few months so I'm a little way off of being up to date. From the moment I saw Philip and Stephanie together I just knew they were soulmates. Treasure every moment. The heart knows no age. Live life to the fullest ❤😊.
I find making comments scary, but hearing such wonderful news compells me to send huge congratulations. You are a dream couple, beauty and brains. Fabulous news. Much ❤ xx
I guess I had decided in my mind that he was your personal assistant. But how wonderful that it is so much more personal than that. How lovely for you both!!
I noticed that there was something between the two of you. But I find it unfair that you should have said it publicly. Because you, like everyone else, have the right to privacy. I wish you that it did not cause you any inconvenience, and I also wish you strength and inspiration to continue the restoration of the chateau. Stephanie, you are an incredibly wonderful person!
Ah! Oh my goodness that is a such a BEAUTIFUL photo of the two of you!!! You are both kind and lovely so very happy to hear of such a happy thing! Thank you for your grace in a challenging situation and sharing something so lovely and personal. Sending lots of love!
So happy to hear you are a couple! I thought maybe you were but was not certain. I wish you both lots of love and laughter! And thank you so much for entertaining us and sharing a part of your life with all of us.
We love you Stephanie! Just enjoy each other and sodd everyone’s opinion. You deserve happiness. And I for one can’t wait to see how you and Phillip grow as a couple and accentuate each other even more. Much love from a big fan xxxxx
So happy for you both! I have always thought of you two as soulmates! The attraction is evident! The sparkle in the eyes when you two look at one another is priceless!
I met my husband 34 years ago. I am nearly 10 years older than him. We celebrated 30 years of marriage this year. So happy for both of you, you make a beautiful couple.
So happy and delighted to hear this great news, sad to hear that it was revealed on tv though, you deserve so much love and joy just like everyone else. wishing you two all the happiness a couple can enjoy!
I’m delighted you have someone Stephanie. Especially someone you have so much in common with. Never mind the age difference. I’m glad you have found happiness. ❤️
So happy for the both of you. I remember when Stephanie was in the hospital, Phillip waited in the car. The whole night!! If that isn't true love.. 💕Lots of love from Brigitte 🌷
I'm glad, that despite wanting to keep your private life private - you see how much support you have. You are such a beautiful person inside, and Philip comes across just as beautiful inside. I wish you both all the happiness 😊
I laughed at the Channel 4 revelation as I thought it couldn’t be true. You get on so wonderfully as friends that I didn’t think that a romantic relationship was likely. I feel that was wrong of Channel 4 to reveal this and I am sorry that you were forced into making this announcement when you wanted it to remain your own business. I am glad you are both very happy and hope you remain so
I thought that too, I kept saying no that's wrong Stephanie would have told all us following first if she wanted it said , Channel 4 were out of line 🤔
Awesome news Philip is so mature for his years and Steph we all know is a child at heart. In fact is Steph too young for Philip lol. A great couple and all the best for the future x
My dad is a patron and told me the other day and I was so excited!! Phillip and you are so well suited. I’m happy you all are happy and I wish the best for you all!! ❤️❤️
My husband knew it!! I kept on saying y’all were just friends and my husband knew there was more there!! Awe, we’re so happy for y’all!! You both are a lovely couple. So glad you’ve announced it. We’re in full support!!
I am 20 years older than my husband. Age is only a number, love is ageless!! I always wondered about those two, now I know! We would love to visit one day in the future! Keep the Amazing videos coming!
I’m 11 years older than my husband. It took me much longer than him to accept that it could work and in the end if he doesn’t mind why should I (or anyone else)? Love and happiness sometimes come in strange ways, you have to grab them and enjoy them as you can.
So happy for you both! I have struggled with the age difference issue. Americans are okay with a guy being older but not as okay with the woman being older. It isn't fair. I am so glad that it has turned out wonderful for you and your family and friends are so supportive! Sending much love to all of you wonderful people! Cheers!
I am so happy to hear that you and Philip are a couple. I had wondered for quite some time if you were because you both spend so much time together, you get along together so beautifully, and you seem to have so much in common. It is really happy news. It brings a whole other element of happiness to your vlogs.
Oh Stephanie, what wonderful news. I love all the La Lande "family" but I confess, you two are my favorites. I've witnessed your shared qualities: kindness, patience, intelligence and whimsy. So pleased that you have found happiness together.
Oh Stephanie - we all guessed a long time ago the romance between you and Phillip. Congratulations to you both! You seem well suited and I am so happy for you both. Romance everywhere at the chateau. Love the bromance and shaving of beards. Wonderful video, full of love, life and laughter. 💕 Thank you.
I'm just so happy for you both. I can't believe I missed the 'outing' as I was watching most days!! It was clear for months that Philip was so in love with you...he is wonderful in everyway. A beautiful moment indeed
I had no idea, though I thought he was a perfect friend, and a wonderful person. I'm thrilled! It's the sweetest thing I can imagine. How lovely for both of you.
Girl, you do you! Bravo!!! Thrilled for both of you. Love could not have found two better people. All the best and much love to both of you. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Your announcement was dignified and classy. I wish you both continuing happiness.
Your are entitled to some degree of privacy! You are such a well suited couple. Grab happiness. Strangers opinions do not matter. Love to you both.
Exactly this. Stephanie has already shown and given so much. But I am also happy that she & Philip have happiness and companionship together!
I think the fact you have both been wearing similar rings on your left hands was a slight giveaway. Congratulations. You will have a wonderful life and a lot of fun. Bless you both.
Handling this situation perfectly Stephanie, carry on!

Great comment. 😊
Age is just a number, you have a young soul, and Philip has an old soul, you compliment each other beautifully 🙏🏻
Isn't this the logic sex predators have used in the past?
Not only a young "soul":) Stephanie is shining with physical beauty too. Would never give her more than 38.
So true about Stephanie having a young soul and Phillip having the old one, I am just so delighted about the news and that they have found happiness together!
@@seu6238 Philip isn't 13. Adults make their own choices (and they deserve every bit of happiness).
Well said Annie! ;-)

This makes me happy! But so sorry you have to go through the anxiety of going public. You are a shining star!
I started thinking, when I kept hearing Stephanie teasing Philip so much. I thought she secretly hates him or she secretly actually loves him.
I share the same words and feelings as Maria (well said!). I wish for you two nothing but the best life has to offer!
Can't hide that look of love, all the best to you both.👏 💗💗

It's one thing that channel 4 have him wearing tartan for filming and him getting 'into character' when ch4 are there but I've heard him talking in his strong accent in the background of things filmed on "Lalande Cam"
From what I can gather is that Gerry's mum worked for Stephanie's parents at the nursing home and that Gerry lived there with his mother and has been rather like an older brother to Stephanie.
So, I've done a little bit of research and found that Gerry lives/runs a taxi company from the village where Ed Sheeran owns quite a few properties so I don't know how Scotland comes into his life.

Congratulations to you both. Having been married for nearly 50 years. You do make a very happy ,hardworking and very suited couple.

I'm very sorry this private information got shared without either your consent. That's unacceptable.
Still, very happy for both of you, putting the love in "a chateau full of life, love and laughter"!
So happy for you both. Spirit has no age and you two are kindred spirits!
My parents married in 1950. My mother was older by several years than my father. They were married for over 50yrs. They taught us you don’t have a relationship with the age you have a relationship with the person!! Congratulations to you both. Enjoy and celebrate. Joan
I very rarely comment as I don't feel I'm very good with words and someone has usually said beautifully what's in my head already 😉its strange for me because having watched from the very first of your video's, I feel like I know you like a very dear friend and of course you haven't a clue who I am 🤭🤭I'm sure many of your subscribers feel the same. I'm so very happy for you both ❤❤❤xx
I'm so happy for the two of you! A more perfect match in so many ways
Love the Dan and Amaury sense of humor!!!
Congratulations to you both. It doesn’t matter what anyone thinks. Life is short be happy. You are both just the most amazing, lovely people it’s wonderful that you have found each other. X
I agree wholeheartedly with with Lynsey’s sentiments! It’s like she plucked the words right out of head. Thank you Lynsey. 🤭😁 Congratulations to you both Stephanie. What matters in this life is your ability to find happiness and love. I’m thrilled for you both.
Oh Stephanie... I am so happy for you both. After seeing how you and Phillip interact in previous videos I couldn't approve more!
👍😍👍😍👍😍👍😍👍
Stephanie Age is mind over matter... If you don't mind it doesn't matter!
Congratulations! But, I mean, I thought he was gay
@@DaKotaCole I'm shocked, very very happy. I would have bet my house on Philip being gay. And I've loved him completely no matter who he dated, gorgeous man. But I'm so blown away!!! And happy. LaLande is so beautiful, romantic, I'm glad somebody there is in love. WOW.OMG
I’m happy for you both. You seem so well matched. My English uncle married a woman 21 years his senior and they were happily married for over 50 years! They had so many things in common and were the best of friends as well. You are fortunate to have found each other. Blessings on your love for one another.
Your chemistry and common interests shine through, no wonder your hearts found each other!
Sorry that you were outed on TV. Thats disappointing that they did that to you two.
That said I’m very happy for you guys!! My sister and her husband are 20 years apart and they are such a great couple. Age is just a number 😉
Wishing you all the happiness together ❤️
Well said. I agree. ♥️🥰♥️
My cousin is dating someone 20 years younger than him and they are going to counseling together to figure it out. So happy to hear your sister and brother in law are happy together. It gives me hope!
Sorry, may I ask
you what TV thing did you mention? Thank you!
I am very happy to hear this news but it was very unethical of the television to tell the world without your permission. They are lucky you are such a kind person.
@@tamaliaalisjahbana9354 could you please tell me what TV show did you mention? Thank you!
A huge smile on my face to hear two such kindred spirits have found each other. Both such loving, kind and generous people I am sorry you were forced into sharing something you wanted to keep private but hope it is an opening to bring in more life, love and laughter. Xxxx
Hey, we are all happy for you. Your personal life needs no explaining. Keep up the great work. You are doing a great job.
So happy both of you have found each other! In this harsh world it’s beautiful to see two people so suitably matched. Snatch every bit of happiness wherever it can be found! Thank you for trusting us with such intimate details!! Wishing you both all the best!
I've been binge watching the Château Diaries for the last few months so I'm a little way off of being up to date. From the moment I saw Philip and Stephanie together I just knew they were soulmates. Treasure every moment. The heart knows no age. Live life to the fullest ❤😊.
I find making comments scary, but hearing such wonderful news compells me to send huge congratulations. You are a dream couple, beauty and brains. Fabulous news. Much ❤ xx
I guess I had decided in my mind that he was your personal assistant. But how wonderful that it is so much more personal than that. How lovely for you both!!
I noticed that there was something between the two of you.
But I find it unfair that you should have said it publicly. Because you, like everyone else, have the right to privacy.
I wish you that it did not cause you any inconvenience, and I also wish you strength and inspiration to continue the restoration of the chateau. Stephanie, you are an incredibly wonderful person!
I LOVE THAT HE IS YOUR BOYFRIEND
Ah! Oh my goodness that is a such a BEAUTIFUL photo of the two of you!!! You are both kind and lovely so very happy to hear of such a happy thing! Thank you for your grace in a challenging situation and sharing something so lovely and personal. Sending lots of love!
So happy to hear you are a couple! I thought maybe you were but was not certain. I wish you both lots of love and laughter! And thank you so much for entertaining us and sharing a part of your life with all of us.
Congratulations to you both! Just so genuinely lovely.
We love you Stephanie! Just enjoy each other and sodd everyone’s opinion. You deserve happiness. And I for one can’t wait to see how you and Phillip grow as a couple and accentuate each other even more. Much love from a big fan xxxxx
Age is just a number, I’m 5 years older than my husband.
Beautifully said 😊
So happy for you both! I have always thought of you two as soulmates! The attraction is evident! The sparkle in the eyes when you two look at one another is priceless!
I met my husband 34 years ago. I am nearly 10 years older than him. We celebrated 30 years of marriage this year. So happy for both of you, you make a beautiful couple.
So happy and delighted to hear this great news, sad to hear that it was revealed on tv though, you deserve so much love and joy just like everyone else. wishing you two all the happiness a couple can enjoy!
I’m delighted you have someone Stephanie. Especially someone you have so much in common with. Never mind the age difference. I’m glad you have found happiness. ❤️
With all respect for your privacy, it is wonderful that the two of you are so happy together.
Dan and Amaury made me laugh out loud, those two are comedy gold!!
So happy for the both of you. I remember when Stephanie was in the hospital, Phillip waited in the car. The whole night!! If that isn't true love.. 💕Lots of love from Brigitte 🌷
As I've said before everyone needs a Philip in their lives
I’m just happy you’re happy! I think you’re relationship is so lovely
This is the best news I've heard all year! So happy for you both 😊
I'm glad, that despite wanting to keep your private life private - you see how much support you have. You are such a beautiful person inside, and Philip comes across just as beautiful inside. I wish you both all the happiness 😊
"Love isn't something you find. Love is something that finds you 💘." Congratulations 🎆🎆🎆❣❣❣ I am extremely happy for both of you ❣
This is FANTASTIC news! I hope you have more support than critics on this. I'm happy for you.
I laughed at the Channel 4 revelation as I thought it couldn’t be true. You get on so wonderfully as friends that I didn’t think that a romantic relationship was likely. I feel that was wrong of Channel 4 to reveal this and I am sorry that you were forced into making this announcement when you wanted it to remain your own business. I am glad you are both very happy and hope you remain so
Yes , I too I'm sorry for privacy being broken. But, OMG, I had no idea. But so happy, how romantic. I will have to take a sleeping pill to calm down.
I thought that too, I kept saying no that's wrong Stephanie would have told all us following first if she wanted it said , Channel 4 were out of line 🤔
Isn’t he gay?
@@leslieluzirr300 It was rather obvious, I tried to tell trolls he was so much younger to protect them. Oh well, it came out in a nasty way.
Awesome news Philip is so mature for his years and Steph we all know is a child at heart. In fact is Steph too young for Philip lol. A great couple and all the best for the future x
Aw such great news! I am delighted for you both. Lots of love for all the people in Lalande 🥰
My dad is a patron and told me the other day and I was so excited!! Phillip and you are so well suited. I’m happy you all are happy and I wish the best for you all!! ❤️❤️
Awe! I love that older men love to see this chateau diaries.
I’m so happy to hear this! I suspected he was smitten with you and I’m over the moon to realize you were similarly inclined! 🥰
Whoooohoooohooooohooohoooo!!!! I absolutely LOVE this news! Two of my favorite people! BEST NEWS EVER
My husband knew it!! I kept on saying y’all were just friends and my husband knew there was more there!! Awe, we’re so happy for y’all!! You both are a lovely couple. So glad you’ve announced it. We’re in full support!!
Congrats, most probably knew but also knew you would tell us when ready. So thrilled for you both! Glad you can relax about that a bit now. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I HAD NO IDEA!!!! Hahahhahaha !!! So happy for you both!
I also had no idea. So happy for you both 💕
Thats lovely news! You are very well suited,who cares about age!Stephanie looks fab! Every happiness you two!
THe man love between Dan and Emory is TOO precious!! LOL!!
I am 20 years older than my husband. Age is only a number, love is ageless!! I always wondered about those two, now I know! We would love to visit one day in the future! Keep the Amazing videos coming!
Im 17 years older than my husband. We have been married for 27 years
That's wonderful to hear!
You two make such a great team and partners and that, IMO, is key to a lasting relationship.
Congratulations! 🎉
So happy for the both of you! And frankly, your relationship is an inspiration to those of us who haven't found that special someone. HUGS!
I’m 11 years older than my husband. It took me much longer than him to accept that it could work and in the end if he doesn’t mind why should I (or anyone else)? Love and happiness sometimes come in strange ways, you have to grab them and enjoy them as you can.
I was almost 6 yrs older than my very recent ex of 17 years. The men seem to accept it easier. He didn't care at all.
So happy for you both! I have struggled with the age difference issue. Americans are okay with a guy being older but not as okay with the woman being older. It isn't fair. I am so glad that it has turned out wonderful for you and your family and friends are so supportive! Sending much love to all of you wonderful people! Cheers!
Omg it’s Philip!! I am SO HAPPY for you both!! Thrilled! Ecstatic!!
I am so happy to hear that you and Philip are a couple. I had wondered for quite some time if you were because you both spend so much time together, you get along together so beautifully, and you seem to have so much in common. It is really happy news. It brings a whole other element of happiness to your vlogs.
You bring positive and joy to so many. You deserve all of that and so much more for yourselves!
Oh Stephanie, what wonderful news. I love all the La Lande "family" but I confess, you two are my favorites. I've witnessed your shared qualities: kindness, patience, intelligence and whimsy. So pleased that you have found happiness together.
Oh Stephanie - we all guessed a long time ago the romance between you and Phillip. Congratulations to you both! You seem well suited and I am so happy for you both. Romance everywhere at the chateau. Love the bromance and shaving of beards. Wonderful video, full of love, life and laughter. 💕 Thank you.
I'm just so happy for you both. I can't believe I missed the 'outing' as I was watching most days!! It was clear for months that Philip was so in love with you...he is wonderful in everyway. A beautiful moment indeed
I had no idea, though I thought he was a perfect friend, and a wonderful person. I'm thrilled! It's the sweetest thing I can imagine. How lovely for both of you.
Didn’t suspect! I’d be dipped and rolled in cracker crumbs!
Girl, you do you! Bravo!!! Thrilled for both of you. Love could not have found two better people. All the best and much love to both of you. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Oh my word Stephanie!!!! BEST NEWS EVER! Have a blast… 🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂
I'm so happy for you both. Phillip is such a kind, caring, and sensitive man. You both deserve every happiness in the world.
