Holland Taylor Cheers on Sarah Paulson at Her Star Ceremony on the Walk of Fame
Sarah Paulson and Holland Taylor‘s love story is one for the history books, igniting with a playful exchange on social media!
Paulson and Taylor first crossed paths in 2005, a full ten years before they began their romantic relationship. The pair, who met at a party, were both in other relationships at the time, yet the chemistry between them was unmistakable.
It took several years for them to reconnect after their initial meeting, but a bit of modern-day social media flirting proved to be the catalyst they needed to move forward.
During a January 2019 appearance on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen, Paulson shared that they “sort of breezed by one another, and then started following each other on Twitter.” When fellow guest Billy Eichner inquired, “Did Holland Taylor slide into your DMs?” Paulson chuckled, replying: “Yeah, she actually did! It’s pretty great!”
After publicly acknowledging their relationship in 2015, the couple became a beloved duo, celebrated not only for representing a vital LGBTQIA+ relationship in Hollywood but also for their significant 32-year age difference.
Despite the skeptics, Paulson hopes that their decision to be open about their “unconventional” love can resonate with others.
“I didn’t choose to fall in love with the person I did. But I think it intrigues people because, on paper, it seems unconventional,” Paulson expressed in a 2018 interview with Elle. “For anyone worried about being misunderstood or judged, I hope they see me living my life authentically — striving to be as genuine as possible. If that inspires anyone, that can only be a positive thing.”
