“Renee Fleming and Timothy Jessell arrive for the formal artist’s dinner for the Kennedy Center Honors at the United States Department of State December 4, 2010 in Washington, D.C.”

More (circumstantial) proof after the jump.

A junior member of the cher public writes:

Fleming attended our interschool choral festival last Saturday and left right after it so that she could make Armida. But that man, Timothy Jessell, was definitely there as well, and I thought they were holding hands during the performance. And we all know that nobody would ever go to a high school chorus concert that includes Trinity’s godawful group unless they were a member (or soon to be member) of the family.
