I think it's partly because of the prophecy from Crystal Kingdom:

" I saw all of existence all at once. I saw a dark storm, a living hunger eating it from within. But I saw a brilliant light heralded by seven birds, flying tirelessly from the storm. I saw seven birds: the Twins, the Lover, the Protector, the Lonely Journal-keeper, the Peacemaker, and the Wordless One."

Twins - Taako and Lup

Protector - Magnus

Lonely Journal-keeper - The Director

Wordless One - Davenport

That leaves the Lover and Peacemaker and Merle and Barry out of the seven. I think most people have assumed that Merle is the Peacekeeper and Barry is the Lover (of Lupe) but its speculation at this point. But pretty sure that plus the picture of them being close has helped that belief as well.
