Here’s the thing, unless either the writers directly indicate they are supposed to be gay, or otherwise the narrative makes it so obvious that they are gay that you don’t even need word of god to figure that out [and just so we have a clear definition that we can agree on, by “obvious”, I mean something like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IBTQrNeg7Ow, where the Biker-like guy, Otokosuki, leaves absolutely no room for doubt regarding his sexuality for anyone watching.] we can’t assume they are gay, especially not if journalists just make the innuendo. Journalists have also claimed that Poe Dameron and Finn were gay as well, yet last I checked, Finn’s dating a girl, and even Poe is implied to possibly have a thing going on with Rey by the end of The Last Jedi.

In other words, do not buy into journalist claims of characters being gay or anything else unless it’s either directly backed up by the films or otherwise explicitly stated via word of god. Especially in this day and age where journalists are more likely to just treat their own opinions as facts.
