Sarah Paulson forced to clarify living situation with 81-year-old girlfriend Holland Taylor
Sarah Paulson has opened up about her living situation with her 81-year-old partner, Holland Taylor.
The 49-year-old American Horror Story actor and the Two and a Half Men star have been an item now for nearly decade since 2015.
The loved up couple, who have a 32-year age gap between them, were recently spotted at Primetime Emmys ceremony over the weekend (15 September).

It was clearly a good night for the pair as Taylor was nominated for Outstanding Supporting Actress for her role in AppleTV+'s The Morning Show, while Paulson
scored an Emmy nod herself for her guest appearance in Prime Video's Mr. & Mrs. Smith.
Speaking about her relationship with Taylor on the red carpet, Paulson admitted being happy to be able to 'hold her purse' for one of the biggest nights in TV.
"Holland has been my absolute rock and has been with me in all of these things for many years and tonight I'm the girl that gets to hold her purse," Paulson told carpet host Laverne Cox on Live From E!: Emmys.
"My nomination was last weekend, she's the Primetime Emmy nominee, and I feel very honoured to be standing here."
However, fans may be surprised to know that even after nearly a decade together, the pair have yet to co-own a home together.
"I have to clarify this because I said this," Paulson told Entertainment Tonight. "We don't live together meaning we don't own a home together, but we're together more often than we are not."
Meanwhile Taylor assured that their relationship thrives on 'a lot of variety' due to the fact they hang out at each other's homes so frequently.
"In one home or the other. Back and forth," Taylor added while Paulson noted: "We live together, but don't live together."
Paulson previously addressed this on the Smartless podcast earlier this year, explaining the 'secret' to their long-lasting relationship.
"We don’t live together, that’s the sort of secret," she revealed.
"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."
Paulson 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.
"No, because we like to fall asleep holding hands, Holland and I. We sleep holding hands. I like to sleep near her," she said.
Paulson then joked: "I don’t want to be around her the rest of the time."
“Just kidding", she added, laughing.
