Reflecting on their first interactions, Paulson told the New York Times in 2016 that Taylor was “the most exquisitely beautiful woman” she had ever met.

Despite their instant chemistry, the couple’s romantic relationship didn’t begin until 2015, with Taylor confirming her relationship with Paulson during a December radio interview.

“There’s a very big age difference between us, which I’m sure shocks a lot of people, and it startles me, but as they say, ‘If she dies, she dies,'” she joked.

How long have Sarah Paulson and Holland Taylor been together?

As of 2024, Sarah Paulson and Holland Taylor have been together for approximately nine years.

They began their romantic relationship in 2015 and in January of the following year, the couple made their red carpet debut at the 2016 Critics Choice Awards.

Two months later, Paulson offered the first insights into her new romance and her sexuality, telling the New York Times, “If my life choices had to be predicted based on what was expected for me on either side, that’s going to make me feel really straitjacketed, and I don’t want to feel that.”

“What I can absolutely say is that I am in love, and that person happens to be Holland Taylor.”

Throughout their relationship, both Paulson and Taylor have faced extensive public scrutiny surrounding their 34-year age gap.

Responding to the criticism, Paulson told the New York Times in 2018, “I do not want to be defined by who I share my bed, my home, my soul with. My choices in life have been unconventional and that’s my business, but I do want to live responsibly and truthfully without hiding.”

“Our relationship represents a certain amount of hope and risk. Maybe there’s something brave in it. Maybe it encourages others to make brave choices. What else can I say? We love each other.”
