Holland Taylor and Sarah Paulson have built a lasting relationship since they began dating in 2015, but even their strong personal connection does not mean they want to work together on every opportunity. Taylor, 83, recently revealed that she and Paulson, 51, had been offered the same project and ultimately decided to turn it down. During an appearance on Today, Taylor explained that they had discussed the possibility and questioned whether sharing the screen would feel uncomfortable. When asked to identify the project, she playfully refused to reveal its name, leaving fans curious about what the couple had passed up. Taylor recalled asking Paulson whether the idea would feel “creepy,” and Paulson apparently agreed that it might. Although neither actress disclosed further details, Taylor made clear that they were not enthusiastic about pursuing the opportunity together.
The couple has also attracted attention for choosing not to own a home together, despite spending much of their time in each other’s company. Paulson previously clarified that her comments about living separately had been misunderstood, explaining that they do not share ownership of one property but are together more often than not. Taylor described their arrangement as having plenty of variety, with the two moving between their respective homes. For them, the flexibility appears to suit their relationship rather than signal any distance between them. Taylor also praised Paulson for her thoughtful nature, describing how she regularly checks on close friends and remembers what is happening in their lives. She said they share a curiosity about human behavior, often thinking about what motivates people, what makes them happy, and what causes them pain. Their connection, Taylor suggested, is rooted in that shared interest in understanding others. While the mystery project remains unnamed, the couple’s comments offer a glimpse into a relationship shaped by affection, independence, and a clear understanding of what works for them.
