Agreed, Solar. We discussed that before, didn't we? Hard time for him to keep his privacy.

Well, since it doesn't seem to be an 'official announcement', I'd assume it wasn't deliberate. But so far I haven't even looked for that article (or whatever you wanna call it) and I don't intend to do it, so... no idea, really.

gently, yes. Of course I'd be absolutely fine with it if Benedict himself decided to announce this and to talk about it in public. I'd just hope he knows what he's doing.

I just hope Benedict will be able to choose the point in time to make it public. I definitely don't want the press to make this decision.

OK, I'm getting worried now
I feel like there's something I'm missing...
Anyways, it seems to have been just one gossip site that started this off so for all we know it might not even be true. I just hope he's happy, and if it IS true that no one close to him has betrayed him by leaking this.

Pleased for him and hope it all works out well.

This ^^^^

I actually think the original website that posted this is just making it up. The reason I think that? No other gutter press (Daily Mail anyone?) has picked it up, and if they aren't touching it..... I wouldn't mind betting they have posted it to increase traffic on their site. Which is hurtful, and nasty.

Until he goes public with anyone I won't be speculating either way. Nothing changes for me, love and respect him just the same. As long as he's happy, single or attached, I'm happy.

I agree.
I'd be genuinely pleased for him if he found his soulmate, and would still feel exactly the same about him.
But I'm also beginning to wonder if this is another stunt by people trying to get traffic/followers for their site - people definitely use his name to do this, sadly.

Guess who climbed the Sydney harbour bridge?!?

That's right! Our all-action hero!!!!!

Gosh he's packing it into this life, I love his approach. Makes me wanna go do stuff! Do everything!

And while we're at it lets discuss the nape of the neck!! And no product in his lovely soft, thick hair....

And he got the heart sign right - FINALLY!!

**Posted by besleybean** April 17, 2014 9:57 am

I wonder if he's just indicating he loves Australia...or something else?!

That made me laugh out loud!!!
And yep, he's nailed the heart sign at last! I love his love for life!

**Posted by clareiow** April 17, 2014 10:03 am

I'd say he was "hearting" the view from up top! Must have been incredible. I'd love to do something like that.

**Posted by batchlock** April 17, 2014 10:06 am

One thing... HIS NECK

**Posted by clareiow** April 17, 2014 10:17 am

I know Batchlock....it's the best view in Australia right now....

I know right? You can't even see his face and it's still stunning.

The man can do no wrong in my eyes..... swoon
