If something is de facto it means it is a reality, a fact of life, even if not approved in law (de jure).

eg: Kosovo exists as a de facto country because, de jure, it is still part of Serbia.

eg de jure one cannot park one's car on the pavement but de facto everyone does.

Answer

de facto means "actually" or "a practice in use" or an "existing situation" but not official or recognized by law. So in a de facto relationship, a relationship exists even though it is not "officially" recognized.

De facto means 'fact of life', or 'concerning fact' in general terms. A de facto relationship is one, in which both the partners are not married, live together, not related as siblings, and are over the age of 18.
