I looked over the transcript, and it seems that the "unrequited love affair"
is a paraphrasing by the press. JKR said:

<<*Dumbledore fell in love with Grindelwald, and that that added to his
horror when Grindelwald showed himself to be what he was.>>
*
To me, this doesn't mean they didn't snog or shag, and it doesn't mean that
Grindlewald didn't reciprocate some degree of emotion and/or sexual
interaction with Dumbledore, just that after everything with Arianna,
Grindlewald's life took a different turn from Dumbledore's.

I'm just really looking forward to all the fic about them! For now,
Marauder's fic is a good start, and you can find it at
