While I am more than happy to wait and find out whatever our Tangle leader chooses to reveal on this matter (she knows and understands her characters far better than the rest of us ever could!), I do agree that it is still fun to speculate...
...and, no, this isn't where I'm going to now tell you what point of view I am leaning toward
! I merely wanted to contribute what I believe to be just one of the most significant passages indirectly relating to this topic, and it is contained within Chapter 23 of 'Golden Fool'.
To set the scene, it is after Fool exposed his back to show Fitz the markings on his back. Both he and Fitz are talking about 'convergence' and their roles as White Prophet and Catalyst.
Fitz writes - " I tried to speak calmly. 'That is the part I have never understood.'
He looked at me sadly. 'You understand. You simply refuse to accept it.' "
Whatever the gender of Beloved, or the relationship between he/she and Fitz, I believe we can be sure that it has actually all been out in the open for some time, and Fitz KNOWS. As with many things though, he just refuses to accept it (whatever IT is!) and, as we have only been able to glimpse the world through Fitz's own commentary, we are as in the dark as much as he ensures HE himself is, and wishes to remain
