The pair have now reportedly given formal notice at the register office in Dereham, Norfolk and are set to get hitched in the next year.
A source told The Sun: “Since Stephen met Elliott it is like he has a new lust for life.”
The pair exchanged a string of messages on Twitter after meeting.
In one tweet, Elliott wrote: “I had the confidence of a gnat when I met Mr @stephenfry Show him some respect he’s the man.”
Since then the couple have been inseparable with Elliott joining Stephen on trips to Europe and the US.
A friend of the couple said: “Stephen and Elliott get on brilliantly together. It’s fantastic to see Stephen with a smile on his face again.
“He has been very, very open about his battles with drugs and depression. Elliott seems to have given him the confidence to live his life again. It’s great to have the old Stephen back.”
Stephen split from his previous partner, former make-up and vitamin salesman Daniel Cohen, in 2010, after 14 year together.
