Everyone's favourite Hollywood couple, Holland Taylor and Sarah Paulson, have shared the secret to their happy relationship.

Actors Holland, 81, and Sarah, 49, have shared almost a decade together despite scrutiny, owing to their 32-year age gap.

The duo first met in 2005 but didn't go public with their romance until 2015.

Sarah often takes to Instagram to share heartfelt pictures of her with Holland, proudly displaying their love for the world to see.

And just yesterday (13 May), Sarah dished the dirt on what the secret behind their blissful partnership really is.

Appearing on the Smartless podcast, hosted by fellow actors Will Arnett, Jason Bateman and Sean Hayes, Sarah opened up about her relationship.

She said: "We don’t live together, that’s the sort of secret.

"Holland and I, we spend plenty of time together but we don’t live in the same house.

"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.”

It sounds foolproof, even though so many of us are conditioned to a 'traditional' living situation with our partners.

Sarah was then asked whether it's possible they could just sleep in separate beds, rather than in separate houses altogether - and Sarah's reply had us swooning.

She said: "No, because we like to fall asleep holding hands, Holland and I. We sleep holding hands. I like to sleep near her."

She then joked: "I don’t want to be around her the rest of the time."

“Just kidding", she added, laughing.

Adding more context to their set-up, Sarah shared a bit of background about their relationship history.

She explained: "Holland, before me, had not been in a kind of long-term relationship, whereas Holland is sort of my third, you know, more than five year relationship.

"So, I tend to do that and have more experience doing that. Holland hasn’t.

"And so, her life, and to get to be her age and sort of not having really cohabitated with someone for a long time, I think it was a lot to sort of all of a sudden have me and all my neediness in her space.”

In November 2023, Holland also explained that their social batteries are wired differently in an interview with Page Six at the 2023 Second Stage Theater Fall Gala.

“I think we each follow our own path so we’re not exactly the same", Holland said.

"We do some things separately so everyone gets to be true to what they believe.

"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."

Personally, I think it's starting to sound kind of perfect to me - if you're able to afford your own space, of course.
