My [24F] friend [19F] and his daughter [2F] have been living with me ever since his ex [22F] left him, should I ask if we are in a relationship?

I’ve been friends with him for over 12 years and I feel bad for what happened with him and his ex. He had a child with her while he was young, then she left him for another guy and she doesn’t want anything to do with her own daughter. They lived together but he had to move it because she wanted to move the new guy in and I offered him the other rooms at my house.

He started off by paying me rent for my house payment and his own bills, but he now pays most of the bills for both of us. He was completely broken when he moved in and he has gotten a lot better, but I can tell that he still doubts himself sometimes.

He and I slowly got “together”. He used to sleep in the guest room with his daughter, but we now sleep in the same bed together and share a room even though I have 3 extra rooms in the house. We also have tons of sex and we always have breakfast and dinner together. I also fell in love with his daughter and I am starting to feel like I am basically raising her as my own child. His ex is so stupid to throw something like this away and I feel extremelly lucky to have him here.

He’s husband material and he is a really good person plus I like how things are except that we haven’t talked about it AT ALL. I know it’s wierd, but I fon’t know how to bring the topic up. I love him and what we have, but I don’t want to say the wrong thing and ruin it. How can I bring this topic up and what should I say or tell him?

TL:DR My close friend moved in with me after his ex girlfriend left him for another guy, I fell in love with him and his daughter and I feel like he’s mine and she is my own daughter, but we haven’t talked about our relationship at all.
