When it comes to Holland Taylor and Sarah Paulson, their love story is as captivating as it is unconventional. Despite being one of Hollywood's most talked-about couples, don’t expect a wedding announcement from them anytime soon. In a recent chat with Andy Cohen on his SiriusXM show, Andy Cohen Live, Taylor shared some intriguing insights about their relationship.
"I don't think so," Taylor said when asked about any plans for marriage. "We've never talked about it with any interest. It doesn't seem to mean to us what it means to other people." It’s clear that for Taylor and Paulson, traditional milestones like marriage don’t hold the same significance as they might for others.
The romance between Taylor, 81, and Paulson, 49, first made headlines back in 2015, not just because of their remarkable chemistry, but also due to their notable age difference. While some raised eyebrows and suggested Paulson keep the relationship under wraps, their love was too powerful to stay hidden.
"I am the captain of my own ship, and I’ve never looked to anyone to validate that," Paulson confidently stated in a 2017 interview, underscoring her independent spirit and refusal to be swayed by external opinions.
During the recent interview, Taylor admitted that the age gap does concern her, particularly for Paulson’s sake. "It worries me for her sake," Taylor revealed. Yet, she also emphasized the deep connection they share, despite their differences. "We have a wonderful resonance," Taylor explained. "We're very interested in the same kinds of things, though we share big differences... I mean, what can I do?"
What’s truly special about their relationship is how Taylor’s extensive life experience complements Paulson’s evolving journey. Taylor, having navigated many of the same emotional terrains Paulson is currently exploring, finds joy in supporting her partner through these experiences. "A lot of the things she's going through that are very emotional and important to her right now, I went through 30 or 40 years ago," Taylor said. "She brings them up in my memory and I go, 'Oh, of course this is hard.' Or, 'Of course, that's great!' The joy of her winning that Tony... was so thrilling to see."
Speaking of Tony Awards, Paulson recently achieved a major milestone by winning her first Tony for her role in the play Appropriate. It’s a testament to her immense talent and dedication. Meanwhile, Taylor is diving into the world of Broadway with her portrayal of a Nancy Pelosi-like character in the play N/A. She shares the stage with Ana Villafañe, who plays a version of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, making for a fascinating theatrical experience.
Their professional successes are mirrored by their personal lives. Both actresses earned Emmy nominations this year, highlighting their continued prominence in the entertainment industry. Paulson was recognized for her role as a marriage therapist on Mr. and Mrs. Smith, while Taylor earned a nod for her performance as an Outstanding Supporting Actress on The Morning Show.
The couple’s journey is a compelling mix of personal fulfillment and professional achievement, demonstrating that their bond is as strong and multi-faceted as their careers. Their story defies conventional norms and showcases how love and mutual respect can create a fulfilling partnership, regardless of societal expectations.
In summary, Taylor and Paulson’s relationship stands as a powerful example of how love transcends traditional boundaries. Their personal and professional successes continue to inspire and captivate, proving that what matters most is the connection they share and the joy they bring to each other's lives.
