Yes, in a statement on the Nintendo Today! app (me neither), Nintendo announced as a daily tidbit, "Princess Peach and Mario are good friends and help each other out whenever they can". Which might not sound like a particularly controversial statement – but the internet isn't buying the 'friends' bit. Not one bit.

Even though Mario and Peach are one of the most iconic pairings in video games, Nintendo says their relationship is strictly platonic.
