Facebook official

Publicly declared couple

Facebook official describes a relationship status that has been publicly declared on Facebook, marking the point when a couple's commitment becomes visible to their social network.

The term acknowledges that in the social media age, a relationship isn't fully "real" until it's announced online: We've been dating for months, but we just made it Facebook official.

Often abbreviated FBO.
