Why Holland Taylor and Sarah Paulson Don’t Plan to Get Married: Their Unique Love Story

Holland Taylor recently shared insights into why she and her longtime partner, Sarah Paulson, have no immediate plans to tie the knot.

During an appearance on Andy Cohen’s SiriusXM show, *Radio Andy*, on August 8, the 81-year-old actress opened up about her relationship with Paulson, whom she has been dating since 2015. When Cohen inquired if marriage was on the horizon for the couple, Taylor responded that it wasn't a priority for them.

“We’ve never really discussed it seriously,” she admitted. “Marriage just doesn’t hold the same significance for us as it does for many others.”

However, she did note that they wouldn’t rule it out entirely, saying they would consider it “if the time felt right.”

As Cohen praised the couple, Taylor, known for her role in *Two and a Half Men*, reflected on what makes her and Paulson, 49, such a strong match.

“We share a deep connection. We have similar interests but also significant differences,” Taylor explained. “There’s a considerable age gap between us, which I sometimes worry about for her sake.”

Despite the age difference, Taylor emphasized that it hasn’t been a problem in their relationship. She’s been able to offer Paulson support and understanding, particularly in challenging times.

“Many of the things Sarah is experiencing now, I went through decades ago,” she said. “When she talks about them, it brings back memories for me, and I can relate to her emotions, whether it’s something difficult or something joyful.”

Taylor also expressed her pride in Paulson’s recent achievements, especially her Tony Award win last June for Best Performance by an Actress in a Leading Role in a Play for her role in Appropriate on Broadway. “Seeing her happiness was incredible,” Taylor added.

Paulson has also spoken about their relationship dynamics. On the SmartLess podcast in May, she revealed that although they’ve been together for a long time, they don’t live together full-time.

“We spend a lot of time together, but we don’t actually live in the same house,” Paulson said. “We’re together when we want to be, and apart when we need space.”

When asked if they’d consider separate rooms instead of different houses, Paulson clarified that they often share a bed and still “fall asleep holding hands.”
