Sarah Paulson revealed the secret to her successful relationship with Holland Taylor.
“We don’t live together, that’s the sort of secret,” the “American Horror Story” star explained on Monday’s episode of the “Smartless” podcast.
“Holland and I, we spend plenty of time together but we don’t live in the same house,” she added. “We’ve been together for a long time now and I think part of it has to do with, we’re together when we wanna be and we’re not when we don’t.”
Paulson, 49, was asked if she and the “Legally Blonde” star, 81, considered having separate bedrooms rather than two different homes, to which she said, “No, because we like to fall asleep holding hands.”
“We sleep holding hands — I like to sleep near her.”
“I don’t want to be around her the rest of the time,” the actress quipped before admitting she was “kidding.”
Aside from living apart, another secret to the couple’s nearly nine-year romance is growing separately.
“I think we each follow our own path so we’re not exactly the same,” Taylor told in November 2023. “We do some things separately so everyone gets to be true to what they believe.”
The “Wedding Date” star continued, “She’s much more social, and I like a little bit of alone time, so I have that. She spends some time with friends and not with me, so it’s a good balance.”

Paulson and Taylor took their romance public in December 2015 after the “Two and a Half Men” alum gushed over her love for a mystery woman during an appearance on WNYC’s “Death, Sex & Money.”
At the time, the couple’s nearly 32-year age gap stirred up a frenzy amongst critics but Paulson later shut down the haters.
“If anyone wants to spend any time thinking I’m strange for loving the most spectacular person on the planet, then that’s their problem,” Paulson told Modern Luxury in May 2918. “I’m doing just fine.”
The “Glass” star, who first met Taylor in 2005, previously admitted she hesitated to take their relationship public after being warned her age gap with the fellow actress would negatively impact her career.
“It occurred to me, ‘Should I not?’ And then I thought, ‘Why would I not?'” Paulson said during an interview with the Edit in 2017.
“The fact I’m having this thought is wrong. But I had a moment of societal concern; wondering if, maybe, people who didn’t know that about me would be like, ‘Wait, what?’ But then, you know, I did it anyway.”
