For it to all be true, there has to be confirmation, and all that jazz. But in this internet age, the fact checking gets skipped a lot. But nonthless, this isn't "speculation."

But just because it isn't official doesn't mean it is speculation or it isn't true. It just means that is what sources are saying.
