🌈 Richard Madden and Brandon Flynn: Jetsetting Boyfriends

Thanks! Hot boyfriends!

Previous thread

OP here: It would be nice if everyone could be careful when getting close to the end of the thread to allow a new thread to be made and linked because the last few threads have not been linked

Link to the last thread...

Shit I just realised I forgot to put part 33 in the title.. is there anyway to edit it?

Last thread, someone linked this SM post reporting the MJ cigs pap photos and said it was dated April 6th. It shows up for me as April 7th. Can someone else weigh in on this and let me know what it appears like to them? Thanks.

I apologize. Your thread was first. Yiu were a bit faster... and I was still typing... Will link from the other thread to this thread so we can use this here.

Oh I cannot F&F this hard enough. Get over it.

R4 No you can't! They created another thread!

For you anony

Can't we just use this one now and then continue with part 33? They way things are going that should be tomorrow.

R10 That’s totally cool with me

R10 Agreed. These threads are moving at a record speed now. And here I am contributing lol!

I wanted to respond to a question from the previous thread. The person asked if Richard and Brandon had ever flown somewhere to spend only one day together. Not that I know of, however it’s more likely than not that after the fashion show B would end up going back to wherever Richard is and spend his birthday with them so it’s not really only spending one day with him.

Ok Brandon is probably alone cause he’s active on insta :(

He’s not partying I think

R14 well if he has to go back to the Alps it’s not that weird.. Also not weird if they’re together lol

I asked about Bs necklace we assume R gave him and what it stood for and someone in the other thread gave me the answer: "The compass rose on this talisman helps you to find direction and keep you on the path to your heart's true desires."

When was B first seen with this? Because R is totally gone on him.

I added the info and link for the talisman to the timeline. Still several answers/links I would appreciate help with. Maybe I should do a short recap of the stuff still unclear?

- What date does the twitter post about the Branchard MJ cigs pics appear as? (enclosed here) - Link to the dailymail article referring to the day of the Kate Mara and Jamie Bell stroll - Dates for the Chateau Marmont pic posting and reposting order

Thank you to all contributors.

R17 He started to wear it in February!

[quote]Ok Brandon is probably alone cause he’s active on insta :(

I'm sure his hole will get filled soon

R17, Feb 10 according to the timeline. ;)

OK, never mind about the dailymail, I think I found the relevant link. Thanks anyway to anyone willing to help!

I’m so sorry to be annoying but can someone link the timeline document here again? Do we know where Richard was over Valentine’s Day?

R18 it appears as the 6th for me (I’m central time, US)

OMG RICHARD IN MILAN? WELPPPPP! Hahahahahaha amazing! Time to add this to timeline once it’s confirmed

Oooooh R24 I wonder why she thinks he’s in Milan

r27 I'm sure someone will ask her.

Someone obviously told her?

R25, thank you!

Not adding the Richard in Milan tweet just yet, not until we know what this is based on. Maybe someone assumed that if B is in Milan, so is R and told her that.

R23, here you go. :) Not annoying at all, this is what the doc is for, so the link's easy to share.

I don’t know if you forgot but on 4/4 Brandon was working out with Kevin, 4/9 spotted at a pet food store, and on 5/7 at the Ariana concert with his cast mates and Kevin (links incoming)

R30 Yes very possible she just heard that Brandon was there and made the assumption that R was too.. Which to be honest is actually really funny

Kevin and B working out

Bless the person who responded to the girl who said he was in Milan for trying to get some context. Doing the lord’s work.

Spotted at pet store (same day Richard was with Charlie at grocery store cough cough)

Ariana concert night of 5/7

Picture of him at the Ariana show is 4th photo down

LOL so early February R gives B the necklase with the signature: "The compass rose on this talisman helps you to find direction and keep you on the path to your heart's true desires."

He didn't even wait for Valentine's day? LOL

My respect for Bris immense. He has R dickwhipped. Or totally in love. Or both.

And last one I have is Brandon getting lunch with his dad in LA on 5/1. So it’s clear that he has met Richard atleast, not sure about other family members!

R39 He does seem pretty whipped. It’s cute too, because Brandon was filming most of February, so he must have made sure to get it to him before Vday since they would be separated

Can someone please post the pic of Richard walking Charlie on his own?

I will! There’s two times he’s been seen with the dog alone

Richard Madden is not gay

4/9 is the second time. Going to find the picture of him with Charlie on the street in February

R45 I've never seen that pic!! So cute

R17 I wonder if the back of the pendant is inscribed...

R32 and on, thank you so much for all of your contributions here, with dates and links and pics! Added everything to the timeline.

Guys, feel free to post the links to the stuff not yet linked on the timeline. I'll do my best to keep up with everything.

R42 here’s the other photo, dated Feb 21st

(This is not my first fandom, so unfortunately I’m too good at cataloguing events and dates...so useless but it brings me joy LOL)

R49 you're THAT bitch, thank you lolz

Hahahahaha aww thank you! ❤️

And man, I find it so cute that Charlie seems to spend a lot of time with Richard. It says a lot!

R49, bless you. My one conclusion from my past experiences on DL and other anon gossip sites is screen-shoot everything and keep a record of dates and links, it becomes really important when you wanna figure stuff out, so you're helping immeasurably!

R49 Lol "his scraggly cute little dog " I love the comments, he thought he was straight but now he believes they are dating!

And a comment under the dog pic: "he’s straight unfortunately lol"

Oh how little fans knew back then.

I hope we'll get pics with Brandon at the beach!

R52 Oh you’re so welcome! You’ve helped everyone out SOOO much with the timeline so I’m glad I could assist a little :)

r55 he looks so camp!

R56, it's a collective effort and I'm really proud of all of us doing this together. ;)

Damn I will be really interested to see if RM really is in Milan

r59 I don't really think we'll know one way or another. Unless he has something to attend tomorrow.

Would it be possible to link the timeline in the first comments of each new thread? That would be awesome and would make looking up things much faster and easier.

I'd say it's about 80% likely RM is in Milano.

I think that even if RM's not in Milan, I can't believe it's a coincidence that BF is in Europe exactly when RM flew there and flew to a location that doesn't seem to fit with RM's work. So Richard may not be in Milan himself, but I'm sure they were together the day before and that they were probably quickly reunited after that little BF stint at the fashion show.

R63 Exactly! Pretty sure they are together already. B didn't even have time to post any pic from the show (only a short IG story)!

R63 yes to all this

My vote is that B just went for the day/show and R stayed back with Mr and Mrs Big Dick all to be reunited shortly and spend time together for Richard’s birthday. Does anyone know how that works? Like how far in advance B would have been invited? If they knew the parents were planning a trip, maybe they planned it all out so he could go to the show.

R66 Doesn’t need to be far in advance at all

I agree with this R63. I think their main goal is to atleast spend a first birthday together.

Anyone speak Italian? They are talking about R in the comments but the translation is bad.

Rule of thumb from someone who works in events: never turn down a celebrity willing to make an appearance

R49 solidarity, yo. We may be over the top, but damned if we aren't useful!

Thanks anony for taking the reins since I can't get to computer and am far too impatient to do this much admin on my phone.

I'll probably get flamed for this opinion, but Milan is like the least romantic city in Italy. I've been for work commitments and honestly there are so many better places to go if you're seeking ambiance and nightlife. Secretly hoping B caught a train straight back to wherever R is instead of R joining him in Milan, if for no other reason than it's just not on the top of my list for Italian getaways.

R69 honestly it sounds like they have no clue and are just spreading speculation and assumptions

R69 the first girl is just talking about how Brandon is in Milan and how she would super upset if Richard was cause she wants to meet him. Then the next person says they “spoke to the director” (I’m assuming they mean 1917 even if they’re lying) who said that Richard is on set and filming so therefore not in Italy. I doubt Sam Mendes would be telling a random twitter account this information.

R69 they are speculating like we are, coming to mutual conclusion that R is likely not in Milan since all 1917 cast and crew are elsewhere.

So did Aron Piper and Brandon meet ??

lmao at "I spoke to the Director" girl, c'mon

lol R73 / R76 she could actually mean many things by that. I seriously doubt she means Mendes. Italians are big on titles so "director" could be any powers-that-be type person.

R77 right, and they most likely know nothing withers To be honest they could be talking about like the director of the fashion show and maybe Richard was invited and he declined the invite and said he was busy with a film but that could just be an excuse he gave

Lol, she didn't mean literally "director", it's a figure of speech, it means they told me that he's filming a movie.

R79 yeah but who ?

I don't think she knows any more than we do honestly.

They’re just speculating. No one knows where Richard is right now besides the people in the know.

R80 Nobody, she probably read it online! They just think that Richard isn't in Italy probably because he's filming.

Does anyone know how Brandon met Sam? sorry to drag that topic up lol but I'm kind of curious

I don't know R84, but twitter is posting Sam's latest snapchat. A rendition of over the rainbow with the rainbow emoji.

Plot twist! Sam knows about us and is planning his master plan to break up B and R.

R71 I agree with on Milan lol

you*

She said that Brandon is beautiful in person, a ray of sunshine!

He really is.

Everyday I’m telling myself I’m gonna stop obsessing with these two but I can’t stop

R84 I had this same thought earlier and wanted to ask, but forgot. Brandon just have magic powers because I remember watching Sam’s interviews prior to album release and he was saying “I’m insanely single...more single than I was with the last album” and then BAM like a week or so later he was spotted making out with Bflynn on the street LOL. Brandon really must be amazingly charming (he seems like it anyways, as well as obviously gorgeous).

This is what Sam posted about Brandon on his IG story at some time during their relationship. I don't know what kind of power B. has, but guys seem to fall hard and fast for him.

All these people tweeting about BF/RM and then immediately deleting the tweets, gmafb. Boo. At least I've got the tweet previews visible on here again, but I've literally started screenshotting every tweet because everyone keeps dirty deleting!

Him and Sam were equally supportive during that relationship though. I honestly think Brandon was really upset about their breakup. There were some IG stories he posted last summer afterwards that just made you feel sad for him + he told the l’official magazine that he was going through a lonely time. I know people like to assume Brandon just wants clout or to upgrade from men to men, but it’s just obvious to me that he puts 100% into his relationships with people and really becomes invested in them.

The power of B is unparalleled. He's like the gay Helen of Troy. Guys become totally enchanted and dickwhipped.

I'm a petty bitch I know and it's not even like I hate Sam but the entire concept of Richard fucking Madden swooping in on Sam Smith's ex boyfriend is still *chef's kiss* beautiful

r96 I think SS brought it on himself. I'm as sure that he broke up with B as I'm sure R broke up with E. Despite other narratives.

R93, please do and share the screenshots? Thanks!

SS would have had it all with B, but oh well, now Richard gets to enjoy the twinks delicious mussy.

The masterthread: did you include the interview where R talks about his fave Frank Sinatra album and B posts a song from it?

R100, nope. Links, please? :)

R94 I believe their split was amicable for some reason

R102 yeah I believe it was amicable, but breakups still suck regardless. it’s good that he had atleast almost half a year on his own before getting with Richard. Richard clearly was ready to move on seeing how fast their relationship has escalated.

R101 I’m the fandom girl again. Here is this tweet. Guardian was posted on the 5/4 and I believe Brandon posted this story the day before. It had to be within 24 hours of each other, that’s all I know!

😂😂

R104, thank you! Added! God, they're so in sync, how can you not love it?

R105, lol. We should send him a link to the timeline to remind him that the way he used "immediately" does not mean what he thinks it means.

Latest igs story! They saw Richard and Brandon walking in Milan!! OMG I want pictures!!

R105 Didn’t Sam post a photo with a breathing machine after first pics of B and R came out

R96 I always wondered what his middle name was. Thanks!

R107 yeeessss ❤️😭

holy shittt

I screen shot it if someone tells me how to post. It’s in Italian but pretty easy to translate

inseparabili means inseparable ?😭

Not to burst anyone's bubble but that's the source of all the Italian tweets wondering if Richard is in Milan and they don't seem to fully believe this guy

What account is this and are their reports reliable or based on word of mouth?

R112, there are pic hosting sites you can upload to and then share the link to them in a post here... Thanks!

This person is currently in the UK. They’re just reposting speculation.

*to that

Yeah but they're a TV host with presumably sources back in Italy and they're not only reporting on Richard and Brandon.

I think it's reliable, we'll see if pics will come out, Milan is full of paps so I hope they'll get papped, but I think they are together.

R120, let's hope so. I'll add it to the timeline, for now with cautious language. Can anyone upload a screenshot?

I saw that the person’s last story was in Birmingham, but here it is anyway.

Can someone please translate for this poor American

R122, thank you, added with all due caution.

R123: "also sighted increasingly inseparable RM & BF on the streets of Milan". The 'increasingly' bit def gives me pause.

R122 Thanks! R123 It said "Spotted Richard Madden and Brandon Flynn increasingly inseparable in the street of Milan"

If nothing else that's enough material for half a thread when people start fighting over it like they did with flights earlier.

Why? It's true isn't it? Sounds like this TV person got a sighting and since it's his business to know gossip he included it?

🤞🏻pls let there be pap pics of them today✌🏻

Not sure it should be added because it seems that he didn’t actually see them but was told. As others said, they could just be repeating the speculation, looking at Twitter, etc.

He’s just saying that they’ve been spotted in Milan, not that he spotted them. Sounds like he’s reporting on celebs, ie Douglas is in Rome! B and R have been spotted! Darren is in Sardinia!

But whatever. It’s just like all the other posts. Think what you want; at least it’s recorded and we’ll see what else comes about. Let’s not argue.

I'm recording this because it's easier to delete it if it is eventually disproved than to start tracking it down if it turns out to be true. I wrote it in with clearly cautious wording, so yes, it's up to people to decide whether they believe this report or not. TBH, I doubt we'll get any conclusive indication for the veracity of this either way.

Anony, I will make a throwaway email so we can work out timeline edit permissions etc, savvy? Could also set up an album on imgur or similar under the throwaway so we'd both have access to add screencaps and pics.

... JFC even though I started an actual fking timeline and archive of two complete strangers' probable relationship but somehow THIS is the post that made me think "wow, I'm too invested" lolol

Shameless, that sounds great, all of it! And yeah, I passed "too invested" when I realized I'm actually giving up sleep hours in order to do this. I may be dead tired tomorrow/today at work, but on the bright side, I'm guiding a group of soldiers, so should be plenty of eye candy to make up for my sleep deprivation.

Anony, contact me at wafamedeyu@coinbroker.club for the real throwaway

R133, I just tried to send you an email from my anon mail and it didn't work.

OK, I have to sign off for now. Chat to you later.

I spent the day away and expected something new. Nothing. No sighting of R in Milan😔

I'm not familiar with this guy but I guess he'll be on Marvel's radar now? An out & proud Asian

I dont really trust that Italian guy in England unfortunately. What probably happened was when Brandon was spotted some presumed Richard would be with him as they are "inseparable" lately and that's how that rumor started

Which one of you did this?!

I don't believe the Italian TV presenter either, for the record, but pap pics should be available tomorrow if true, yeah? If BF made it to Getty, surely any of the legion of photogs in Milan right now would've caught RM somewhere at some point.

So they are roommates and planemates and hotelmates too

Some Brandon in Milan photos posted on weibo.

Does anyone have a link to the full set of pics from B leaving the show with the man in the pink suit? The head behind him looks very Richard-like 👀👀

Did people ask the Italian girl and that’s why she deleted some tweets?

This is hot

Between 01-03 seconds, you can see Brandon sandwich between the girl in a black dress and the guy in the white shirt. He's the 4th person from left to right.

Gifset of Little Dick's thighs if we're sharing thirst traps

Wow you people are seriously weird, obsessed, old shut ins!

Love those furry thighs! :)

That little bit of bulge in the third gif. My safeword is "Yes, please!" Rich. :)

R31 For the timeline, Brandon was in Minnesota with one of his sisters from atleast 11/23-11/25. Also he was in Miami from 12/21-12/28 for Christmas. You can check this thread for links to his stories around that time :)

And Richard wasn’t on Ellen on December 14th as the video from her official YouTube was posted the 13th and Ellen films her shows not live so he must’ve filmed the day before on the 12th since he flew out from London on 12/11!

When Brandon and Richard’s children grow up and ask how they met, they are going to pull out this timeline and say this is our first six months together.

Also for the timeline, you can add that Brandon and the cast of 13RW were at a Netflix Christmas party on 11/18

R143, VERY HOT.

Also again for timeline, add that Richard and Brandon flew out from nyc to London on 5/30 with Brandon returning on 6/3 to the states as evidenced by that person who posted a text message convo with their mother who spoke to him on the plane about Monaco + his statement under Shaun King’s Trump protest photo saying he just left London. I said this in the last thread but it was probably overlooked!

And record store hang out on 3/28 in London

OKAY ONE MORE THING AND ILL GET A LIFE SORRY. The dinner with Lily James and them after her play in London on 3/30.

Also 05/09 Richard attends Bodyguard LA screening and says he’s the happiest he’s ever been the last 6 months

Research in Ibiza.

That’s the most beautiful update of them all :’)

This is only three years ago. Chain smoking does no good.

R23, I lied, I’m back. On 4/10 Richard did an LA Emmys Contender live stream chat.

Milan is the industry center of Italy. Still, Milan is more famous for it's first class opera presentation.

I wouldn't have expected R to be there though

I guess Brandon's going for "nonchalant" here but he just looks half asleep.

So Brandon came to Milan to sit at the show for like 20 minutes? He posed for 3-4 pictures, did 1 short IG story and then was gone again to who knows where, like wtf!

He looks good.

Look at the queen behind him. It must be liking being in a gay candy shop.

B is back on the 'gram and followed an account Richard already follows... @tcs_daniel

R167 It's the guy in the pink suit! He was with Brandon in the Versace show yesterday. What is his connection with Richard?

r167 Richard (and his dad) usually participate in Father & Son day every year, which that guy created.

R169 Wow, another link connection B. with R.

Besides Big Dick, is there any older man in Richard's life who isn't gay?!

Idris Elba

R170 how does that link connect the 2 of them?

The guy has followed Brandon on IG some time ago already. Maybe they have met before?

R173 Sorry, what I meant is that Richard and his dad (according to R169) know this guy and he was with Brandon on the show yesterday (I'm guessing taking care of him).

R174 Yes, they walked together to the show so they must have known each other before. But the question is how? Through Richard? Or because of 13RW? But the guy doesn't seem to follow any other cast member from the show..

It's all a bit connected but most likely through Richard, yes. The guy, Daniel was at the same wedding Jeremy Langmead and his husband was a few weeks ago so they probably run in the same circles. He also posted a picture with Luke Evans in April and the other guy in that picture is the VP of Global Communications for Versace, another account B just followed today. Messy explanation but...

You can find a lot of pictures of Richard on his IG account, so they have known each other for quite some time.

merely friends, they laff at ur insinuations......

R177 Thank you. Here is the pic.

R178 Maybe he followed Brandon because he's dating Richard but they met only last night.

Idk why I had a feeling that B and R had a fight after they came to Europe lol, maybe that’s why Brandon was alone

R182

R182 Fight over what? You got to flesh out your fanfic more.

Can I ask any Italian speakers, I get that that sighting says they were seen on the streets of Milan but what does piu inserabili mean? I know someone was saying something about “inseparable” but googling it gave me “more insertable” which I don’t think is what they’re saying 😂

R185 - I don't speak italian but my guess is that the piu is a comparative (like when you add plus in front of an adjective in french).

Therefore more inseparable.

R186 Thank you! That was my guess too, I guessed that that was the "more" bit- but insertable?! 😆

Just catching up here - Is the Milan sight of the both of them legit?

R188 - I think it's a typo And they meant to say inseparabili. Even Google translator thinks so. 😂

"Is the Milan sight of the both of them legit? " No, there are no photos and no actual sighting. That account is just reposting what they have heard.

R190 Ohhhh ok. That makes more sense, thank you 😆

R191 Yeah, I’ve come across a few tweets from Italian tweeters and none of them seem sure whether or not to believe it at all, so I don't know how credible we can even hope for it to be. I think the only way we're gonna know is if we somehow get pics of them, or if R attends another Italian event or show or something. Then I guess it'd be safer to think it was legit.

R149, thank you for all your contributions to the timeline, I added everything, though more links would help. I'm still not sure if the links from that thread on Twitter work well, I'll try to check that when I'm done with the cute soldiers and I get back home. You can have a look at the timeline, see which entries are still missing a link and maybe post one here for that? Thanks in advance!

Maddynn, you seem to be really good with links. Any help you might be able to offer?

Shameless, I will be around again after I'm done with the soldiers, we can try the email throwaway thing again. Or I can just post here my anon mail address, you can send me an email, I'll respond with a question and you can answer it here, so we can use that as verification. What do you think?

R93 Please would you mind posting the screenshot? Or any screenshots if it was possible? Sorry, I don’t mean to be a pain, but my previews aren’t working at all at the moment so I keep missing tweets like these 😩

What is the purpose of the timeline? Seems a bit much

Brandon with a fan

R195 for historical purposes

R196 Necklace on display!! Thanks for the work on updates

R197 I know what a timeline is for but I don't see the purpose of this one. I like to see what's going on with them sure but tracking all their past movements and putting it in a file just doesn't seem necessary and it makes me understand why others would think these threads are weird

I only now realized that today is Father's Day in the UK. So Richard staying with his father in France would make sense.

199 I know, what you mean. There’s liking these two and then there’s obsessing over their every move which is weird and creepy. Putting it on a file is a no no.

His video says Milan as location!

Lol. Milano!!!!! And he’s so proud to show us his location

He’s there

He also looks really good

omg this is killing me lmao

Whose video??!!

What fashion shows are today?

R202 OMG Richard wants us to know he's in Milan with his man, I knew that they were together in Italy!! His stans are going to get mad lol!

R207 Richard on ig

He’s glowing just like Brandon. La dolce vita

OMG, they are really together! I cannot belie it!

Looking hot!

He's looks DAMN good ... both of them getting their lives in Italy lmao

Hahaha bitch they ain’t playin

Richard IS in Milan!! He just instagrammed from there!!

If he's there for fashion week too I think he could be going to the Armani show tomorrow?

I’m the Brandon smug pap pics in Nice right now...

B for sure took that video of R in their hotel room

Aww they are cute traveling together all over the world. Richard looks HOT in the video.

R219 the guy who runs the charity is in Milan so he might have but Brandon was probably there

He really did not HAVE TO put Milan as his location for this video lol. But the man did it anyway!

R217 Probably! I wondered whether he might make an appearance at the Etro show today, they dressed him in Cannes, but no sign so far.

R222 he needed the world to know where he was

R222 Richard: Oh FINE, nobody has "confirmed" spotting me so I'll just do it myself 😂😂

There’s no reason at all that the guy who runs the charity would need to record the video for R in R’s hotel room to post on his own account lol

R225 lolzzz I love them both

They are so going to get papped today! Yeah maybe he's going to the Armani show tomorrow but the fact is that he's in Milan since yesterday because he is there with Brandon and Richard wanted us to know that he's there with Brandon. Imagine if they go to the show together!!

God bless Richard for tagging his location !!

Brandon likely took the video and it probably took 12 takes because of giggles and distractions.

Niall Horan of 1d just posted a pic from Milan. He was at an after party with Brichard.

I agree the very detailed google doc bothers me too. I feel it is too detailed and too stalkerish. There is a line between between harmless gossip and overly eager fan.

Not least because I really want to keep these threads going and not shut down as happened with Lee and Jon K threads. So please be careful so that won't happen.

Having said that. Is it B we see in R's eyes filming?

When is the Jonas wedding in France? Maybe they will stay for that.

I hope they sit by each other at a fashion show omg

R222 Richard always puts his location

R is so gone for B. He wants everyone to know he's in Milan as well. There is no other explanation.

I haven’t opened the google doc because it’s way too much for me. Seems unnecessary especially since we know they are couple just living their lives.

R235 uh the point is that if they wanted to keep it down low he didn’t HAVE to put it

r235 No he doesn't.

R235 March 6, March 23 and April 17.. he did not put a location. So you’re wrong about that

Brandon's story is so cute! Charlie!

I thought the doc was made to avoid new people asking the same questions over and over in this thread

Brandon just posted IG father's day story. Lucky dog.

Lol did Richard just edit Milan tag out of his story? I'm not seeing the location anymore!

R242 it sounds the doc tracks their every known move.

Wow it's way too early and the video is about a NICE CHARITY but thanks for making me wake up horny, RM !!!

R224 it’s not in his story, it’s in his regular feed

R245 I think the timeline of events around them, you know, putting together what we know of their story so far isn’t a bad one. At this point there are a lot of trips and random sightings and bits and pieces of info and developments to keep track of that really add up to them looking like a couple that are nothing to do with the first set of pap pics (which people say are the only reason we think they’re together). And yeah, it stops people asking the same questions over and over or being able to dismiss us. But tracking their every move, even the movements that have nothing to do with this relationship, to be fair, I get why you would say that would allow anyone looking at it to think it’s weird. We’re super enthusiastic so I don’t think anyone here means it in any way weirdly, but I get why other people looking at it would see it that way.

He removed the tag. We know already though. Lol

R247 I meant that, sorry. But I'm not seeing the location in the post anymore and it said Milan when I first watched it.

So, uh, now that Richard has kindly confirmed it for us himself, can we take that sighting of them out walking in Milan as real?

He removed it

R252 I still see it?

They're just too hot for it to be fair. R's blue eyes and curls, B's cuteness and adorableness, I'm dead.

OH NOW ITS GONE FOR ME TOO LOL

Lol I guess it was an accidental reveal :D

Yeah, he removed it. Wait, WHY?!

If he removed it that makes me think it was a genuine mistake that he had the location on and not that he was showing fans he was with Brandon.

I don’t think it was accidental in the slightest tbh

R258 Sorry but you don’t just make a mistake and put the location automatically. You have to type it in

Playing with you all

R261 ??? You think he’s trolling us? Are you ok? Lol wow I’ve heard a lot of crazy in my day but..

Richard confirmed Milan himself omg I'm so done lol!

re The timeline: I only started it to try and update the very basic one started by that branchard account that started putting the pieces together. People kept asking when xyz happened and it bugged me that I couldn't remember, so I started it as much for my own curiosity as anything. I added actual dates for validity. I was purposely leaving out speculation etc because the dates imo spoke for themselves. It's turned into the monster it is because R&B are so joined at the hip and ALWAYS together now.

Anony, your idea sounds good, sorry yesterday was a bust heh

Also fuck Richard for taking off the video tag in the few minutes it took me to type this!

You do realize that you don’t have to BE in Milan to post Milan as your location on ig. @mrporterlive has some event going on during fashion week and they’re there apparently. So, there still is a possibility he’s in Milan, orrrrrrrr he’s not. There’s a reason why he chose a nondescript location to film it.

R258 Yeah, I think so too. (Though I was kidding mostly about "confirming" he was there. I don't think Richard operates like that in the slightest, so I don't really think he was about showing he was there. I just thought he wouldn't care if people put it together.)

Though mind you, this isn't a personal video, it's for charity. Maybe he took off the tag because it's meant to be as "universal" as possible? Or, ugh, universal isn't the right way to put it- I know what I mean, but I'm not putting it into words right 😆 Maybe someone else can help me out, if you get what I'm TRYING (failing) to say?

Maybe the Italian fans spooked him? They were already talking about stalking his hotel and now we have a confirmation he's in Milan they seem to be going mad on IG and twitter.

R258. There isn’t a scenario where he put the Milan tag to show Brandon’s fans where he is. This type of assumptions is where people start to go too far thinking that a celeb is sending them signs. He isn’t and would never care to.

Oh cmon that doc is just like a fan masterthread from tumblr

Lol, it's too late, people are going crazy that he's in Milan! Maybe he doesn't want to put the location for this post! We'll see if he goes to a show or he's there just for a little vacation with his boyfriend!

Here we go with people these guys are morons... anyway

R264 Why would he put Milan if he wasn’t there or at least wasn’t there when the video was recorded? That makes zero sense.

Lol he’s done it by mistake but it was good for us 👌🏻😹😹

R264 lol you think richard just happened to put milan as the location while he's somewhere else? pls.

R267 agreed! Some people are going crazy Larries direction

R268 both would be weird but a google doc file logging and tracking two people's every whereabouts for the last 8 months is very creepy. I haven't opened it and I don't think most people will

We already knew that he was in Milan, they saw them yesterday walking on the street so. Brandon cute ig's story! Richard too should post it, he's the father of Charlie too!

R265 I agree. He’s probably filmed it in his hotel room in Milan, hence the tag. He realized it has nothing to do with the nature of his post and deleted the tag

But will he post a pic of Brandon as the man that inspires him? Or will he play it safe and post a pic of his dad or a friend, I know which one I’m hoping for!!!

R276 I agree with this more than he was like “oops lol” like a dumbass.. he probably just thought about it and was like eh location isn’t really relevant to this

Where does it say Milan is the location of the video? I looked but couldn’t see anything.

R279 It said location was Milan when Richard first posted the video on IG but after a couple of minutes he removed the location.

You can still see it on the screenshot taken at r254, r279.

R279 He DID have the location of the video tagged. He took off the location like 5 minutes later though. (There's screenshots on twitter already though, of course!(

R274 cheers for the morality lesson

For the sake of accuracy he posted the video about 45 minutes ago and deleted the tag about 20 minutes ago so it was up for about 25 minutes

R281 LOL, screenshots live forever. Thanks!

I think half the views on the video are mine. I can't get enough of R. Eyes, hair and that voice. Not only the accent but also the gravelly tone. Poor Brandon didn't have a choice once Richard met him. And no wonder I've bingewatched The Bodyguard too many times to count.

So Richard himself confirmed he is in Milan and still people doubt it and jump through hoops for alternate theories. Occam's razor. He's there, the sighting was real. Recently they have been inseparable so it fits. I understand healthy skepticism but at a point it's as excessive as being too trusting.

r275 The Italian gossipers in London were right. They very likely were seen in Milan looking all couply and unseparable like they said.

I hope they attend a show together. A front row fashion attendance is actually a pretty awesome outing as a couple. It’s intimate yet also public so not so risky. Just imagine it!

Now that we got confirmation they're both in Milan I hope Italian fans & paparazzi leave them alone. Or at the very least don't try to find their hotel. I know we'd all like pictures but I'm perfectly fine just knowing they're together and happy.

I'm with you R287, Richard is extra delicious in that video. Looking adorable and happy and sexy. Lucky Brandon.

Brandon just commented Richards post.

Brandon commented a sun 🌞 😭😭😭😭

Brandon commented this emoji 🌞 on Richard’s post

B just commented with a 🌞 on the video post.

I hope they attend a show together too! But can we talk about the fact that they look so good these days? They look happy, relaxed and beautiful! Love is good! Boyfriends in love around the world!

r290 I think that is why he untagged it. Twitter basically exploded in Italian after the video.

THEY’RE SO SWEET IM HAPPY MAN

Lol 4 posts about the emoji (and yes Richard looks like the sun in that video 🌞)

these bitches are too much for me 😭

Kudos to the guy who gave the Frankfurt flight info and then tried to cover for R&B.

are the madden stans still in denial?

I just don't know how B managed to shoot this video without jumping R and not just eat him out but feast on him.

They really are inseparable. I feel emotional lol

R301 Ahh, overexcited flight number guy. Bless him 😆

Richard: Tags video "Milan" Haters. Doubters. In denials. Trolls: But.. But.. That doesn't MEAN he's in Milan.

Do you realize how stupid you sound?

R305 yeah that guy was a legend but also poor guy didn’t realize what he was doin’ lol

Brandon liked also the post of Richard from Daniel! They are so in love! Sweet!

tcs_daniel on insta posted a pic with Richard in his Son Shine shirt

Brandon deleted a comment to his commentary in the IG: "everyone knows about the roommates' relationship" ...

R307 Oh, I KNOW 😂 I felt a bit bad for him, it was obvious HE felt bad as soon as he realised. He did try to backtrack promptly when he cottoned on, bless... but at that stage he'd already flung open those barn doors 😆

Brandon took the pic, right?

R310 Wait, what? What comment did Brandon delete?!

geez, maybe he is bi judging from that embarrassing bday pic

R312 most likely.

Richard's sex drive is too much for one man/lady, he needs a bevy of hot cocks and pussys to satisfy his erotic needs.

both his ass and cock and mouth need much stimulation, get in line, he is ready to rumble bb

r310 What are talking about?

R310 I don't think he deleted it, maybe the one that commented deleted it, they were a lot of comments like that in the other post under his comment and they are still there.

Daniel is married and R is friends with Daniel’s husband, so it could have been the husband who took the picture.

you can comment under other peoples comments so i'm guessing someone wrote something sarcastic about our favourite roommates under the sun emoji and B deleted it

R317 Comment was "everyone knows about the roommates' relationship"

R319 But it’s very likely B was there regardless who took the pic.

I don't think you CAN delete a comment that is a reply to your comment, not if it's not your post on your page. It would have to be either Richard deleting it, since it was his post, or the person who left the comment. And if R318 is right and there are still plenty of other comments like that still there, then it probably wasn't Richard.

I just now searched Richard's name on Twitter and there's some girl on Twitter wondering how in the world a hot guy like Richard could possibly be single. Bless her heart.

Not posting the link because I don't think she's one of the homophobic Richard stans; she just seemed to be out of the gossip loop.

Brandon can't delete comments on Richard's IG. That would have to be R. And fucking IG isn't showing me B's activity.

R319 ah yes let’s come up with the alternate explanations when the obvious one is right there!! Must we do this??... exhausting...

R325 the person who wrote the comment can also delete it which is likely the case. It’s not at all an offensive comment for Richard to waste time deleting it.

Seems like B and R are hanging out with Daniel. Nice! Also the sun emoji is probably in reference to Richard's shirt.

Brandon can't delete comment on someone else's page.

If anyone deleted it it had to be the poster or Richard himself because it was on his IG

I want to see them looking hot next to each other at the fashion show!

R327 Yeah, especially since there's at least one comment asking if they're dating. And there were a bunch of similar comments ... "Are you two dating?" or "Get married!" on Brandon's comment on Richard's previous Instagram post that R never deleted.

R326 you assuming Brandon took the picture when it could have just as easily been Daniel’s husband, who you likely don’t even know about, though Richard has been friends with both for years and who usually travels with Daniel, is exhausting. But carry on automatically assuming it’s one man when it could just easily be the other.

Well, this time Richard's stan can't say that Brandon is stalking Richard lol!

R332 Hmm so he just didn’t bring his husband to the fashion show last night then? K!

Geeez why does it even matter who took the video? We already have confirmation that Richard is in Milan with Brandon. Whether or not B took the video is irrelevant.

I choose to believe B posted the sun 🌞 in reference to his shirt and the fact that Richard is sunshine. He is literally glowing in the video. Love the short haircut as well

Lol Brandon follows Daniel and the next day Daniel posts a pic with Richard

🤞🏻a pic on streets of Milan🤞🏻

why are we still fighting, we've already won

Richard looks very short in the photo posted by that charity founder

Bingo, R335. R is in Milan with Brandon. So why is anyone dying on this particular hill?

I can’t imagine these threads when they break up. They are together right now and we have so much fuckery going on.

R336 exactly.. people don’t seem to get that things can have double meanings

R340 tbf that guy seems pretty tall

R seems to have a bunch of male gay friends. I wonder how excited they are that he's publicly dating a man

r340 He's average height. Daniel's obviously very tall. B's taller than R though.

Richard’s only 177cm

still laughing at the guy who posted a flight code

r346 That's average height in UK. We can't all be like Dutch men.

R341 IKR?

Slightly OT, but Effin' Birds is hilarious. Nearly every one of their posts can be applied to some of the fuckery that goes on here at DL.

Did Richard like a bunch of comments and not Brandon's? lol

Sweet! Hot Brandon! Richard, you must like it!

Not really related, but I was on IG just now and B posted a pic for father’s day. It has almost 5k likes in 30 seconds. That’s insane!

confusing to read the comments here. like the same couple of nuts are posting the same shit over and over.

simmer down

You guys have gone full Larrie.

R347 -me too, the hero R didn't deserve.

say what u may, brendon mus be a helluva fuk, his pussy makes str8 men bend with salivation.

Richard should leave a comment under Brandon's post, a heart so we can die happy today!

Sure lol!

They really are a beautiful couple, we need to see more of them together. The sun could be in reference to the T-shirt or it could be Brandon’s pet name for Richard or I could be reading too much into it!

R358 - I almost choked on my drink, lmao. Someone should tell them.

No idea! Sure!

R358 They’re clueless

R362 they are in denial .

That one is not clueless, that's the homophobic Brandon hating Richard stan.

They already know why he's in Milan, but they can't accept it! Let them choke on their hate, Richard is living his life with his love, if they can't respect Brandon that he's Richard's boyfriend and a person that he loves, they sure aren't respecting Richard, so they aren't real fans!

we need a new set of photos to shut them up

New set won't shut them up. B&R could be fucking front of them and they'd say they're just really close roommates. So it's best to leave them to their own delusions.

I tried to comment on richmaddenaddicted's Instagram but comments are limited! Haha.

R366 Won’t work. They’ll continue to ignore Brandon.

You know, I hope Brandon and Richard get married, raise a bunch of little Charlies and live happily ever after ... but if he and B eventually split up and Richard ends up dating another man instead of going back to women ... would those crazy stans still be in denial, or would they start abandoning him as fans? My guess is the latter. Right now they're convinced that Brandon is simply a one-off.

(For the record, I think those bitches are in the minority. There are other women who will cry about losing Richard to the other team, but they'll get over it.)

R370 I hope they'll get married too! Richard's homophobic stan is going to abandon him, she can't accept Richard with a man and she is a fan of Ellie, she thinks that Brandon is brainwashing Richard lol! A lot of Richard's fans will get over it!

r370 I think those woman would cry over him being with anyone, man or a woman. It's just the normal reaction of a fan, "oh no he's not single anymore!" And it's just social media reaction. Most of the woman saying this aren't really homophobic either, they're just overly eager fans who fantasise about him. Now B&R together, that is my ultimate fantasy. Endless wank material

Do you think it was Richard who was bothered by the comment and he deleted it? It’s interesting that he didn’t even “like” Brandon’s sun comment and his Father’s Day post in his insta..

R373

Yes he was very bothered and he decided to take it out on Brandon’s hole

R373 There are plenty of other comments that are similar and still there. Either he deleted and then stayed off IG and didn’t see the others (doubtful as he’s been liking comments) or the person who commented deleted it. That’s more likely to me and I’ve seen it a lot, especially when other commenters start commenting back. People forget others see their comments and then “chicken out” or change their mind, don’t want the attention, etc. Just like on twitter.

R373 Why would he delete that one and leave loads of other ones just like it up? As to the not liking... are people really gonna get hung up on that? They’re there in Italy together. Real life interaction = way more important than social media interaction.

They are probably together rn, so why like his comment when he’s near him

It’s like messaging your friend who’s across the room

R373 they are literally in Milan together living their best lives and some of you think they are staring at their posts and over analyzing comments like you. Please!!! They don’t give a shit about these tiny things.

Brandon's comment

I find Brandon cute in a average boy next door way...so is this how women feel when Jennifer Anniston got with Brad Pitt? Those women feel like it’s them that are actually dating Brad Pitt ..

R382 I actually like Richard and Brandon together because they match. I don’t see either of them being above the other. People who don’t like Brandon might just be women who thought their idol, Richard, was straight. Different situation since they don’t seem to hate the women he’s dated before.

I actually think both of them are quite "average" in looks if looking simply at looks. But then they have these X factor that make them totally hot. R has these gorgeous eyes and gorgeous hair and just sinfully hot voice which makes him sexy as hell. There are a lot of more handsome men than him but perhaps not as many as sexy as him. Brandon is cute and he very much is the boy next door but he's seems very sweet, fun, very charming and adorable. Richard getting with him is like the best choice in partner to come out for. B's not fame hungry partyboy, he's seems quite lowkey and lovely to be with. And that makes him superhot to be honest. Also we know the sex with him has to be phenomenal. Lets not kid ourselves, it's phenomenal.

Old pic of Jeremy langmead, Richard Madden and Daniel at a bar.. not only does Richard have a british inner circle he also apprantly have a gay inner circle of friends..I wonder if he knows he’s bi and they seen him around in gay relationships in the past?

R383 and R384 yes, I think they're a perfect match for each other. They're both good looking, but in different ways. Richard is a hunk. Brandon has boyish good looks (I may be in the minority, but I really don't think he's all that twinky). But beyond looks, I love their personalities and the two of them just seem to mesh well.

Pics here:

A good friend of Richard's hung close to his boyfriend at the Versace show. Cute!

Obviously, they knew he liked men, they are his friends, but I think this is his first serious relationship with a man, he had flings before but nothing serious.

R385 I like his gay inner circle. More mature and lowkey. Good thing him and Brandon aren’t part of the super vapid insta gay circles that just party and gym.

Yeah that Daniel guy going to the show with Brandon is kind of amazing lol

R389 *MAYBE he had flings..... let’s not be factual about things we don’t know about.

Idk is it just coincidence that after that comment was deleted he didn’t like Brandon sun comment? He like his previous comment before even when they are in the same room together..

Any significance that most of his gay friends are older and in established relationships? Or is that not a correct assumption? I haven’t investigated them...but I’m thinking some of you have. I guess R is just drawn to them and most of his friends are pretty low key anyway except for maybe that crazy promoter guy.

He must have had flings with guys to be comfortable enough to throw himself completely into things with B. If B was his first in every way I can't imagine things evolving this fast. Realistically it takes time to come on terms with yourself to be this comfortable this fast.

R392, if we're being factual then we have no idea if he had relationships with men that were dismissed as friendships or simply unnoticed.

R393 you are so right. They have just broken up. Richard not liking the comment made Brandon board the next flight to LA. It’s over. Let’s lose it

R396 exactly. We don’t know enough and never will so insight into his past flings or relationships with men will remain speculation until he tells or someone with knowledge reveals things.

R394 I noticed that awhile back. Richard does seem more settled. Of course he still likes to go out and party on occasion (referencing the Rocketman post-party in New York), but for the most part he seems to prefer just hanging out low-key with close friends.

He seems to embrace his gayside later in his life idk When I saw the those pics of Richard in the beach with a Ellie I was surprised how gay Richard looked and he didn’t seem to be into her when they were kissing he seemed uncomfortable..

I think their personalities are similar as well, they’re both somewhat into classics, prefer casual clothing, love their families, both have 2 sisters..

30 something and 2 girlfriends. ice cold coleman and 19 yo elle...up and coming actresses... and you don't think they were beards? Clueless!

r397 with how SM obsessed Brandon is, this scenario doesn't seem too far-fetched!

R400 Funnily enough that’s what I thought about B and Sam when I saw their photos (that they’re not very into each other) but that is only my perception, which can be wrong.

R403 I sincerely hope you’re joking

Also he chose a lady who is almost flatchested and quite skinny..

anyway they’re destined to be together

Maybe he's ready to settle down and he found the right person! They seem to match, they are clearly in love and they love to have a low-key life with friends and family.

R406 Are you guys seriously gonna discuss breast size on a gay forum

R403 Lol. Now you are stressing the super frenzied, irrational posters here who think life can be translated by analyzing likes.

R395 This. Him having flings in the past is pure speculation, but it's speculation based on rationale and logic. So no, we don't know for certain that he's been with guys in the past. But he *probably* has.

And honestly -- I'll probably get attacked for this, but whatever -- we don't even know for certain that he's bi. My gut tells me that his ex-girlfriends were legit and not beards, but that doesn't necessarily make him bi. There's also the possibility that despite him dating women in the past, he's just now starting to figure out/embrace that he prefers men. We don't know anything for sure, other than he seems head over heels for Brandon. And I'm good with that one certainty.

yes...international travel...fashion shows and parties is def. a "low key" life! lol

Omg can we please stop with the beard BS... anyway RM is looking truly gorgeous in that video Brandon: I admit I envy you.

R412 That's called work!

It’s like those gay fashion designers who’s ideal women are skinny and flatchested models Similar to a think body..

Does Richard follow any busty models? The following is usually very telling, as with that Piper guy who only follows model women so I figured he’s straight

i think they were beards.

R402 don’t know about Coleman but wouldn’t be surprised one bit if Ellie was a beard. Nothing I see about Madden points to him being even remotely into that arm-candy. She lovely but she’s literally perfect beard per beard requirements. Maybe he wasn’t deliberately bearding but he sure chose a very risk-free, easy-to-hide girl to date.

R412 You can travel internationally and still be low-key. As for fashion shows, etc. -- most, if not all of that, is work-related.

Why are we back to his girlfriends were beards talk? We've covered this already.

R402 Maybe they were, maybe they weren't. My point was that we don't know for certain that RM is bi. All we know is that he ain't straight!

Armani show tomorrow at 5pm 🤞🏻

R416 LOL not that I'm aware of, but it's been a couple months since I creeped on his Insta follows.

R422 Would love to see both of them there together!

I just wonder when/if Richard is going back to the UK for 1917 filming. Surely he's not finished?

[quote] don’t know about Coleman but wouldn’t be surprised one bit if Ellie was a beard. Nothing I see about Madden points to him being even remotely into that arm-candy.

Nothing you see points to Richard being into good-looking young girls like plenty of men? Stop diminishing his relationship to Ellie because most of you only use that to excuse the messy breakup "oh, it wasn't that serious. She was only a beard anyway so he couldn't have cheated...". If he wanted to beard he would have for sure not chosen to date a 19/20 years old actress while he was already 30. He would have chosen a more age appropriate girl so that people wouldn't side-eye him for the age difference.

All we know is that he is in love with Brandon so we don't care about his past relationship we should move on! I want to see them at a fashion show together, we need more pics!

Do you think Richard’s relationship with Ellie was a way to convinced himself that he is straight? I just find it weird how quickly he jump from one relationship to another and with a man..

R424 well that girl tweeted her mom works at the hotel in northern England where R will apparently be staying so I’d guess sometime in the next few weeks?

[quote]I just wonder when/if Richard is going back to the UK for 1917 filming. Surely he's not finished?

When is 1917 supposed to finish filming?

He sure look gay in this pic and this is when he was photograph kissing Ellie

R402 I guess I’m clueless because to me those relationships were real.

A 19 20 yo would be foolish enough to agree to it

R425 Seriously I stand by what I said. Ellie and him are so meh in every way.

So the sighting of the two them in Milan was pretty much proved legit

And that's pretty much a fact, r433.

1917 filming is due to wrap at the end of June, but there could be schedule overrun.

It’s nice how Brandon is so supportive of Richard especially on SM I kinda wish Richard would do the same...

Are people aware that most likely not all his relationships were public? The public ones were Jenna and Ellie (and now Brandon) but there were plenty of rumours about other women as well. And also his female "friend" commenting QF on his instagram.. Richard for sure didn't only hook up with Jenna and Ellie but also with other women (and most likely with other men as well) before he met Brandon.

Richard cares more about hitting that ass than hitting the like button. Calm down.

R437 Yeah, I know. But I wouldn't take it personally. Richard is pretty hit-or-miss with his SM likes. He only occasionally likes posts by his own father and sister.

Wow he really is a true Gemini

[post redacted because linking to dailymail.co.uk clearly indicates that the poster is either a troll or an idiot (probably both, honestly.) Our advice is that you just ignore this poster but whatever you do, don't click on any link to this putrid rag.]

Casper the friendly ghost never looked better!

You come here for facts. But you object to formatting those facts for easy reference? The hypocrisy of some of you...

At least sign your posts "virtue signaller" so we can skip over your posts unread.

Thanks to those who've put the doc together (with information that's already in the public domain, tiresome virtue signallers...). Don't let concern trolls derail you.

So hold on, Richard accidentally confirmed he was in Milan?

Idk I still find it odd how Richard did a complete 180 and all of sudden is now dating a man and so quickly too ..it’s like he didnt even morn his relationship with Ellie .

I am astounded at the people who actually think a relationship functions based on likes. Like they are physically together and traveling together all over yet some want likes and comments. Is this a mental illness?

God can we not with the Ellie bashing - it's gross

R446 Maybe it wasn’t the right relationship for both of them. Were they together that long?

[quote]Idk I still find it odd how Richard did a complete 180 and all of sudden is now dating a man and so quickly too ..it’s like he didnt even morn his relationship with Ellie .

There are plenty of people who move on from one relationship to each other without a break. Especially when cheating was involved of course. That doesn't mean that the relationship wasn't real...

It’s not bashing ...it’s a discussion on embracing his true sexuality.

He prob broke the contract after meeting B and then she got pissed.

Can someone tell me how long Ellie and Richard were together?

Contract with a 19 year old?!

Can someone tell me how many times we're going to go back to talking about Ellie when that relationship is no longer relevant? How about we look forward to R's birthday instead? I hope they're planning something romantic!

Trying to peice everything together Close-knit Gay inner circle of friends Follows 90% gay men or male models Boyfriend

What else??

Richard is over Ellie, you all should try to move on too.

Sardinia? They asked about it on the DL last week.

Exactly, R457

R453 around 18 months

Yeah I really don't care about Ellie... or Sam... or Jenna. I just don't care lol

If Richard cheated on Ellie, that is relevant to our interests.

Christ some of you are pessimistic

Some of you saying he "looks gay" in photos where he is with/kissing is girlfriend are just showing your stupidity... and saying his relationship with Ellie was meaningless because you like him with Brandon is so immature let's just leave ex talk for now.

which asspussy taste best? Richard or brandon?

I pick richard

I wonder if Brandon is going to post something for Richard's B-day, something that we can connect to Richard...

‘R462, wow what if he cheated on Brandon? I hope Richard is not a cheater because a cheater will always be a cheater ....

Does no one else think that Richard gets the final say on what Brandon posts in regards to him?

Considering they’re not confirming anything specific yet, I’d imagine Brandon will have to OK any birthday posts with Richard first!!!

Speculation is fun, and talking about how into each other they are great, but you don't have to bash RM's ex girlfriends to make RM and BF look better. It's obvious they're head over heels for each other, and the evidence speaks for itself tbh. Continuously talking about Ellie's appearance, when the only thing she did was care about RM is a pretty ugly thing to do. You love Brandon/ love his relationship with RM? Great- but you don't have to shit talk a person who has nothing to do with that relationship.

Nobody cares about this speculative shit, you guys sound like clowns trying to figure out beards and cheating rumours, IDK why you wanna hate them so bad.

I'm excited for his birthday!! I doubt they'll post anything super obvious tbh but I'm sure they'll spend the day together. Maybe someplace pretty and secluded, in their own world :)

I wonder if they’ll stay in Italy or go to the Alps to see R’s parents.

How on earth is saying she was his beard bashing her? Are people so appalled at saying Cruise and Kidman were bearding? It's the entertainment industry and careers can be broken for being gay. Why do you think R and B have not come out as a couple yet? Deluded fangurl who thinks R has to be bi for her own fantasies.

She would have agreed to it too.

I'm pretty sure that R464 and R469 is the owner of @richardmaddenaddict on instagram. Homophobic cunt.

At most maybe B posts a song on his stories. But these boys can surprise us, so let's see.

And I don't get trying to use Richard's supposed cheating to predict his current relationship. As someone else said, please tag yourself as a virtue signaler.

I feel sorry for Richard. Everyone needs privacy, even him. Leave him alone.

R475 LMAO I'm r464 and I can tell you that you couldn't be more wrong hahahahaha

Thinking R's bi because of his numerous relationships with women and basing it on that, rather than thinking every one of them was a beard with absolutely nothing to go off is deluded? Got it. Him being gay is feeding into OUR fantasy. Ignoring his past makes you deluded, not the people looking at the whole picture.

It's so sweet that Brandon's dad calls him baby boy!

Richard having to be gay as your fantasy vs being bi is no better than the homophobic fangirls insisting he must be straight.

If it was a straight relationship, they wouldn’t hide and Richard wouldnt have to remove his location and delete those comments about his relationship with Brandon on his insta and he would like every single post of Brandon but so far he hasn’t...Brandon’s the only one who is making an effort.

yes...so he cares about appearances and his career....he was prince charming...macho lead in a hit series...ummm

maybe a birthday engagement!

R482 Relax cunt, sometimes keeping things on the DL is beneficial for a couple, especially a new one, and ESPECIALLY considering how creepy some people can be. And for me to even say they're on the DL doesn't make sense because they're very obviously jet setting together all the time. They're in fucking Italy TOGETHER, and you're critiquing SM activity. Lit rally mental illness

482 Obsessed much? Like you would know what is happening in the alleged relationship. Basing the kind of relationship they have on likes on social media is pretty sad? Are your relationships like that I wonder

R482 He didn't deny dating Brandon in the NY interview and he isn't hiding the fact that they are traveling around the world together, but he isn't making an effort for you?

R482 how do you know Richard deleted them? The poster might have. Also, Brandon is the only one who knows what he expects or gets from Richard. You are just an outsider so you wanting Richard to do certain things for Brandon has nothing to do with what Brandon might want. I understand it sucks not to be included in their decisions.

One comment out of hundreds is deleted. It's pretty clear Richard didn't delete it.

All yall do here is obsess over social media. You watch B & R's likes and activities so you can know when they're online. Or play into the theories that they're together bc they both might be logged into IG at the same time but when people may not like it when Richard ignores Brandon on IG suddenly SM doesn't matter? It doesn't go both ways either it matters or it doesn't

Let’s stop with “Richard cheated on Ellie” because we just DON’T KNOW. Bi guys are already stereotyped as cheaters, let’ not continue with this

R489 You’re comparing apples and oranges here.

Brandon logging off Instagram 5 minutes before the Boston flight took off and staying logged off until about 1 minute after the plane landed makes it likely that he was on the same flight as Richard, but it’s not an analysis of his feelings. It’s simply an indicator of where he was/is.

And I don’t think Richard cares about some comments, and wouldn’t delete one lol. That’s just some person who decided to delete it themselves

R489 Don't people do that only to try and guess if they're together or not? What they like generally doesn't come into play. What doesn't matter is trying to gauge how into each other they are based on if they like each other's posts and comments, when we get actual hard evidence. I thought that level of paranoia was reserved for those mentally challenged teenage hetero couples.

R489 I personally don’t track their likes or the timing of their likes as any sign of what’s happening in their relationship. Why waste time on such meaningless things when I can look at actual interesting things like Monaco trip with Richard’s parents, dog walks, Boston and now Milan together, NYTimes non-denial?

R489,Exactly! I know Brandon can make his own decisions for himself, I just don’t want him to get hurt because when he’s in a relationship he is 100% invested in it, I don’t want him to get used like how Sam used him for his album and to show off a hot boyfriend and thn later deleted every single picture and post on his Instagram and basically just ghost him but still had the nerve to talk about him in the press...I want Richard to make some effort because it seems like it’s only Brandon who is doing it....

r495 Richard isn't making an effort because he doesn't like a post? Or have pictures everywhere? You know how stupid that sounds?

R495 it seemed like a genuinely relationship with Sam. Sam didn’t need it use Brandon for album sales. You make no sense at all. Take off the tin hat

R's inviting him all over the place, having him meet his parents, moved in with him after a few months, probably made the first move LBR, and he's making no effort. The crackheadery

Sam has dated guys much better looking than Brandon. Flynn was not a trophy boyfriend.

Popular high school jock ignoring his secret bf all over again..

R491 Well I've seen the romantancising of the IG activity when it plays in their favor, placing feelings based on their IG activity. For example when Brandon liked that doorknob post or when Brandon likes posts of Richard or when Brandon posted that photoshop of James Dean. People assigned feelings to him saying stuff like oh Brandon's so in love etc. So I don't think I am.

Every single one of Sam's BF's have been trophy BF's probably

R495 and btw Madden doesn’t need to use Flynn either for anything. Richard is doing amazing on his own and one could argue Brandon is actually a risk career wise

Look. Maybe Richard DIDN’T like the frenzy caused by him accidentally tagging his location. Maybe that is why he didn’t like B’s comment, in an effort to not fan the flames more. So what? Him not liking attention on his relationship didn’t start with Brandon. He never has, with girlfriends either. Let’s face it, their social media activity means more to US than it does to them. Richard didn’t like a single thing Brandon posted for months until those pap pics, and we KNOW they were fine, in fact better than fine at that time, complete with Richard moving in with B. A like or a follow is nice to see, that’s all. It’s not the be-all and end-all. And it’s not the measure of someone’s effort in a real life relationship at all.

R502 he’s allowed to have trophy BFs if that’s what he wants. He’s famous. Most musicians and celebs get to date really hot people so this is not new

Anyone wanna hop onto the other thread to ignore all this bitching about irrelevant shit? Let me know and I'll join...

R might like to show affection in real life (like a sane person), B might like to do it both on social media and in real life. He is younger after all. Of course people are gonna get excited over positive social media activity ffs, but implying that inactivity is the be all and end all of a relationship is what we're rejecting

I’m not sure how Richard not liking an Insta comment means he’s not putting in an effort? We have already established that he flies all over the world just to spend a couple days with his boyfriend. I’d say that’s a mighty big effort.

Brandon spends a lot of time on Instagram and is a prolific liker of posts. Richard doesn’t seem to pay as much attention to social media.

This tells me the average age on this thread is 13 and the eldergays have been hushed away into the Golden Girls thread.

Ummm Sam admitted he has a boyfriend on Ellen while he was promoting his album...so yes he did use Brandon to promote his album..

R503 EXACTLY! Jesus, Brandon is potentially a big, big risk for him, and a complete departure from his whole love life lived in the public eye so far. I honestly don’t know why people try to say “he did things this way with Ellie, he should do them the same with Brandon” anyway. First of all, that relationship ended, so whatever he was doing didn’t end up working out anyway. Second, sure it’d be nice in an ideal world. But we don’t LIVE in that ideal world. You can’t compare that way. For a Hollywood actor like Richard, there is a massive difference between dating a woman and dating a man. Him openly dating a man has potentially huge consequences for him that dating a woman never would. And yet, he’s not letting it stop him. He’s still dating Brandon, still traveling around the world with him (literally last month people were freaking out thinking that he “wouldn’t let” Brandon go to New York with him for the Met Gala!!), still living his life. And yet people are still judging away on how open or not open he is compared to his past girlfriends and Instagram activity?! When we know they’re in Italy together right now and have travelled to Monaco, New York, London, Boston and now Italy together all in the last MONTH?!

Wow just woke up and screamed at all the content. I think Richard obviously tagged himself in Milan, but then deleted it after the hoopla 20 or so minutes later. I still find it hilarious that it’s clear he doesn’t care if people know he’s there with Brandon. Brandon loooooves him, that smile comment is so adorable and def on brand for him LOL. I think Brandon will always be the more engaging of the two when it comes to social media. Richard has only liked his posts ONCE and that was a few days after he first followed Brandon (and was obviously intrigued/attracted) by him. I doubt it matters for them in real life as they’ve been traveling together nonstop whenever possible these past several months. It’s clear that Richard wants/needs to be in his presence and just like they don’t show PDA, I’m sure Richard is all over him in private - that’s just his MO. People comparing this to how Sam and Brandon operated just have to understand that sam was an ALREADY out gay man who never hid anything when it came to his private life- plus he also said he was happy his relationship with Brandon served as “great representation for LGBTQ couples since we don’t see it a lot”. I think that’s why they were more keen to do the OTT comments on EVERY IG photo and ofcourse the PDA.

Richard and Brandon just seem super happy to be together, and in my opinion it’s obvious that Richard pursued Brandon first and quickly, so it’s not like Bflynn is not getting reassurance where it actually matters.

Richard liked Brandon post just now, are you happy now? LOL

I know it’s complete wishful thinking but damn if we can get pics of them together in Milan that would sure be swell 👌🏻🙏🏻

I find OTT social media engagement cringey so it's a win for me baby!

HAHAHA are those motherfuckers reading this thread

lol they are reading this

Laughing imagining B getting upset R isn’t liking or commenting on his every single move on SM.

“Richard, I know you basically admitted we were dating to the NYT, but where is the effort? Where are those likes? Do you even care about me?”

R513 Haha I personally don’t think it matters either way, but maybe it will shut up some of the complainers. ;-)

I wish you cunt fraus would fuck off back to Tumblr.

maybe a bd coming out?

god if they are i feel so SO sorry for them

I wonder what Richard’s friends think of Brandon. Gemma seems to really like him. I wonder if his friends Daniel and Jeremy were like “finally...he’s a good one”.

DL threads are pretty high on gossip searches

R518 LOL! Maybe he grabbed Richard’s phone when R wasn’t looking and liked the post himself.

I don’t think they’re looking through here since they have better things to do (like sex and exploring). I think Richard just likes stuff when he feels like it lololol. I’m sure he saw the old sam comments everywhere and told Brandon early on “yeah babe....I won’t be doing that, but I still love you” LOL

R521

A big dick coming out? Yes, please!

(Unless you mean Big Dick coming out. Then I'm in two minds. Ma Madden has put so much into the marriage.)

Yeah, these threads would be one of the first things to come up after googling their names. I hope they're both smart enough not to do that!!! And if they are reading this, I'd like to imagine them laughing maniacally at our stupidity.

R523, Finally? Can y'all shut the fuck up putting down a past of which you have no knowledge?

Secondly, these are young men. They're not the leads in some "Barbra Streisand finds love after getting a blonde rinse + perm combo" rom-com. Finally indeed (at 32!?).

“Richard babe, could you take your cock out of my ass for a moment and go like that post of mine you haven’t liked yet?”

Yeah, I don't think they are reading this, lmao. They might have stumbled across some of the old threads and noped out ASAP for their own sanity.

Ouuhhh....maybe B is reading this thread after all. How odd and timely.

Is Brandon a Datalounger ???? FOr some reason I get this vibe...hmmm

R531 they are likely so focused on each that they are ignoring everything. I bet they are that annoying couple that just ghosts friends, activities etc because they are honeymoon phasing.

Richard liking his boy and father in law!

R530 LOL seriously though, that’s how some here are acting like B must think.

yes, o...i think the sardinia thread was a hint from b trolling us. that is the bd trip. b seems impish

Ew let’s not defend Sam Smith

I feel like Brandon reads the Bonnie Franklin threads, if only for tips to keep the lazy eye at bay.

let’s not talk about him at all

Thank God Richard liked that photo otherwise the catfight would continue

Wow I think they do read this thread!! I’m glad I made my opinion even tho it’s not popular here out there,so if they do read it he knows that he better not mess with Brandon!

r534 Richard is now B's zaddy

So, I wonder if they were really spotted out together looking extra couply or if people just speculated they were together and made a rumor out of that? Regardless, we got confirmation from the actual men so that’s all that matters lol

What Sardinia thread? Did I miss something?

In honor of Father’s Day: (I really love that first pic.)

I do get the feeling Richard occasionally posts here on the DL as Mrs. Patrick Campbell.

Liking every verified user comment but Brandon's is pretty funny

Plot twist! Brandon is the Chasten/Pete Troll !!

You guys are gonna fight me, but it’s still interesting Richard wasn’t liking B’s posts even when they started living together, and began liking suddenly after the weed cigs walk lol

Someone asked about places to stay there Friday. It popped up today. I think it was a hint. I mean a quick more secluded jaunt than Ibiza.

I think they will then attend the Jonas wedding in Paris but I do not know when that is. The Solstice? Next weekend? Then Idk

No, Richard liking the post doesn’t mean he reads these threads. Why do we have so many tin hat posters? He literally liked it in normal time. Jeez

Location tagging Milan and then untagging it cracks me up. You can't put the genie back in the bottle, R. There's something a bit "clueless dad" about that.

Of course they don’t read this. I doubt they even log on to twitter

Very perfect timing,isn’t it? I’m 98% sure they read this thread and I think we help him make a decision on his Ny times non-denial statement as we were bitching in the earlier threads about him being a coward that we basically dared him to do it !

looks romantic and secluded enough.

i bet o is throwing cards

R553, honey, just stop.

R548, that's been noted long ago. Hell, they noticed on LSA months and months ago.

I joked about them reading this thread, but there is no way in hell they do. Even the more moderate posters would look like tin hats to them. They're smarter than that.

R551 I can imagine him, right after realizing the repercussions of the Milan tag:

“Fook! Delete! Delete!”

Sardinia thread was the only thing that poster has posted

I love how this thread is always tittering on the brink of being completely loony-level, Larrie Batshit crazy and some are fighting daily to keep it somewhat sane. The struggle is kinda hilarious to see.

what's this sardinia shit? something made up?

Richard looks like he was just laughing in the beginning of that little video hahahaha. I love that they seem happier these days. Seeing Brandon last summer after the breakup was just sad...he has a genuine smile back on his face and I’m happy for that.

R561 of course it’s made up

People keep typing Larrie like it has shared meaning beyond people who read those threads...

it'll never be larrie/charmie levels of insanity because this is clearly real, but extremely loony this thread can be sometimes yes.

hunches

and they were in geneva only not the alps and had their father's day

R562 Brandon was having a great time last summer after the break up he didn't look sad to me. Those photos of him at Pride were fantastic

R556 I know lol just curious why he did that

R can be quite childlike. Note how he drops his shoulder for a second at the beginning of the Dad/Son charity vid. Bashful AF. There's a gif of his Globes win that has a similar vibe.

He might have been sad about possible backlash he was getting from Sam fans

R567 Oh yeah he was having a blast at Pride, but there were some videos he posted on his stories that concerned fandom. He was drinking a lot more and would randomly post IG stories from his car with the caption “patience” and it wouldn’t make sense. He seems like a genuinely happy person in general, but he def seemed down a lot more often around this time last year.

R558 If he appears tomorrow at Armani FS I doubt he would care people know he’s in Milan

That pic Brandon posted with his dad is exactly the level of fun and joyous vibe that I imagine Branson has in real life all the time. He just comes of as such a happy person.

I think Brandon brought Richard to Italy for his birthday so they can recreate scenes from Call Me by Your Name.

R573 He said in an interview that’s how he is, outgoing and happy person

I think people are projecting about Brandon post Sam. That tweet claiming to see Brandon crying in public... I don't know. I don't take it as gospel.

R574 Ughh... they will have a better love story

R574 barf

R576 I don’t think he was that down either. Let’s not emphasize how depressed he was, and concentrate how happy he is now

R274 and anyone else who had a problem with the timeline. I have no doubt some are trolls trying to derail the conversation while a few seem legitimately concerned. For the former, all I can say is... Don't like the timeline? Don't use it. Simple as, problem solved. For the latter, the timeline is just a compilation of publicly available info. No phones were hacked to procure information, no personal data has been disclosed (I have seen, about a decade ago and on another anon gossip site, the sharing of certain actors' home address, for example). No one has begged for info on hotels to go wait for them outside those places. No one's broken into anyone's private territory. I'm just saying, we're nowhere near real stalker territory, we're just bringing some order to the mess of info we've gotten in over 30 threads. If it's helpful to you? Great. If not, no worries. But genuinely, there are no red lines being crossed here.

Shameless, HMU at yvmaterials at Gmail.

R576 Thank you. I'm a Brandon fan and I wasn't concerned at all. It's like they're trying to paint him as some sad sack over Sam who was miserable until Richard showed up. I remember last summer he was at Pride having a blast then he went to London where he was having fun with his friend.

R576 Yeah, I never believed that story because he was on vacation with family during that time he was apparently spotted crying at his father’s work but if you saw his stories, the sadness would be sporadically there (which again is normal as no one is 100% happy 24/7) and confirmed by him that he was going through a lonely time in his L’official interview. He just seems more overall happy now and it’s a beautiful thing to see.

R572 Relax, it was just a joke.

R571, I guessed he learned a lot from his relationship with Sam, not to be too public and showy.. I feel bad for him because he is most known only as Sam Smith’s ex and not as an actor ...I would hate to be labeled like that....

They are both GLOWING from every pore. Fulfillment.

Here's that next thread FYI, we're getting close to filling this one up.

I thought we decided to make a timeline because people outside of this thread believe we are tin hats and prancing ponies who base everything in that 1st set of pictures ?

R568, I presume he kept SM engagement with Brandon to a minimum to keep their relationship (and rumours) offline. What he didn't bank on was that his (and other) fans would note how much time he was spending with Brandon yet not engaging with him on SM despite both following each other.

In the aftermath of the weed pics, I think his increased engagement was a similar choice to his NYT non-denial. I think it can be summed up as "my life is an open book, I'm just not going to read it to you."

We don’t know the real reason Brandon cryed in public, plus it’s his personal stuff. Let’s not bring this up anytime you want to convince everyone he was that sad after break up with Sam. I’m sure he didn’t want to be spotted and even more some user to tweet about it. This feels really intrusive. We just don’t know.

R584 That irks me. If the media insists on calling him SS’s ex, can they at least also mention that he’s an actor from 13RW? It’s like they just completely dismiss his career.

He's an actor. Patiene could relate to waiting on potential bookings to come through.

"My personal life is personal" and "my life is an open book, I'm just not going to read it to you" do not add up at all.

R587 it was made for that reason and so there was some kind of reference in case thread newbies had any questions. people twisted it into some kind of elaborate stalker blueprint

Patience for R to come out!

R587, to me, it's several reasons. I'm invested in the timeline because it helps me get a clearer picture and because I also wanna help others, including new additions to the thread, be able to follow everything more easily. At the same time, it's def a good defense whenever someone tries to tell you that you're crazy, or tries to misrepresent the past in some way, which I have seen trolls doing in the past. And also, it makes sharing links and stopping repeated questions regarding the same thing more manageable in this thread...

R590 the media does it for search purposes. Sam Smith added to the article adds search discovery and therefore site traffic. It’s not that deep.

R591, that’s why the Sun article was hilarious because they made him into a big deal who is influential in Hollywood and thn write another article as him being Sam Smith ex...

Yo Brandon doesn’t have a lazy eye (as stated in a previous thread). His eyelid is just droopy. Whoever keeps saying that doesn’t seem to know what a lazy eye is or looks like.

R596 I am aware of that. I have a degree in journalism and I have been both a reporter and editor. Using SS for search terms is fine, but leaving out the fact that B is a fairly well established actor is piss-poor journalism.

@anony i was gonna suggest adding the date sam unfollowed and then refollowed and then unfollowed R on insta to the timeline. i can't remember dates but i think it was mentioned in a previous thread. that little bit of info cracks me up, i think it's a good addition :-)

R587, we did. It compresses the information already contained in these thirty-something threads. Yet, I see hardly anyone complaining about the existence of these threads... Hypocritical, huh.

Do y'all not realise that calling him Sam Smith's ex is another way of saying Richard Madden's current?

R587 That'd make sense if the timeline was documenting their interactions only but when you're documenting their every move.. it does look weird.

R592, of course they do. That quote was used by David Hyde Pierce about his sexuality. It's another way of saying "I'm out here living my life. The details are there for the world to see. I choose not to comment."

I understand criticism of Madden's comment to the NYT. But he IS living his life publicly with Brandon by his side much of the time. He's not giving the golden quotes many would like. But there is an open book aspect to all this - the pap pics, SM posts & likes could all be avoided if R&B truly wanted to live a PRIVATE private life.

People affirm things in different ways.

If Brandon just had a droopy eyelid it would be visible in every pic of him. It is not. In contrast, lazy eyes can become more noticeable when someone is tired (e.g. Bonnie Franklin towards the end of taping night). And that's why Brandon's eye looks that way only some of the time.
