Veteran actress Holland Taylor has revealed that she and her long-term partner, Sarah Paulson, have no plans to tie the knot, even after nine years of dating.

During a rare conversation about her relationship, the 81-year-old Emmy Award winner explained that a legal contract doesn’t hold the same significance for them as it does for many others.

“I don’t think we’ll get married,” Taylor said. “No, we’ve never talked about it with any interest.”

Taylor, best known for her role as Judge Roberta Kittleson on ABC’s The Practice, went on to say that they prioritize their emotional connection over a legal bond.

When complimented on their loving relationship, Taylor gushed about their strong emotional connection, saying they share a “wonderful resonance” and similar interests.

However, she acknowledged that their 31-year age gap can lead to “big generational differences” that sometimes worry her.

Taylor, who has never been married, said that Paulson is going through emotional experiences that she went through decades ago, adding, “What can I do?”

Paulson has spoken highly of Taylor, calling her the “smartest, wisest, funniest, most extraordinary person” she’s ever met.

While appearing on Andy Cohen’s SiriusXM show, the Emmy Award winner, 81, made a rare remark about her relationship while explaining why she doesn’t believe they will ever tie the knot

Paulson has also praised Taylor’s wit, humor, and physical beauty, saying she finds her partner “incredibly sexy” and the “most beautiful woman” she’s ever seen.

The couple, who met in 2005 but didn’t start dating until a decade later, credit their independence and separate living arrangements as the key to their successful relationship.

In May, Paulson revealed on the Smartless podcast that they enjoy their alone time and don’t feel the need to be together 24/7, saying, “We’re together when we wanna be and we’re not when we don’t.”
