Holland Taylor and Sarah Paulson have their own views on marriage, choosing a relationship that works for them rather than following traditional expectations.
During an appearance on The Drew Barrymore Show, Taylor opened up about how she and Paulson, 51, manage their living arrangements while balancing their professional commitments.
“Well we do as much time as we possibly can, because work takes us apart constantly,” she said.
“But I have an apartment here [in New York City], and [Paulson] stays here in my apartment when she’s here.”
The couple also have separate homes in Los Angeles, though that has changed somewhat in recent times.
“In LA, I have a separate house from hers, but her new house, she hasn’t moved into.
“It’s been almost a year since she’s been staying in my house in LA, too. So we’re together as much as geography and our jobs let us be.”
Why they’re not married
Taylor and Paulson first crossed paths in 2005, but their relationship didn’t turn romantic until early 2015. They went public with their romance in March 2016. Yet despite more than a decade together, the couple have never walked down the aisle.
During a November 12 appearance on Chelsea Handler’s Dear Chelsea podcast, Paulson opened up about her views on marriage.
“I’m happy that I haven’t been married,” Paulson said. “I feel that I’ve maintained some sense of myself in a way.”
“The bond, the connectivity I have with Holland, I feel married to her,” Paulson explained, “but I don’t have or have never had the need to have it be something written in stone somehow.
“The stoneness of it gives me the heebie-jeebies.”
She went on to describe how being unmarried gives her a sense of ‘freedom’.
