Sarah Paulson and Holland Taylor’s Complete Relationship Timeline

Sarah Paulson and Holland Taylor have known one another for almost over 20 years, but it took them about a decade to finally get together. Since then, they’ve offered their fans some of the most adorable red carpet couple looks ever, as well as plenty of wisdom about love and long-lasting partnership.

Here’s their complete relationship timeline so far.

The pair met in 2005 at a dinner party, but at the time, Paulson was in a relationship with actress Cherry Jones. Taylor was also dating someone. In 2016, Paulson told the New York Times that Taylor was “probably the most exquisitely beautiful woman” she had ever seen.

Later on, the two followed one another on Twitter. In late November 2015, Taylor posted a shot of Paulson at a dress fitting, writing, “When captions fail...”

Romantic rumors naturally sparked and they were all true. In a 2019 appearance on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen, Paulson shared the details of their first romantic connection that year.

“It’s a long story. We met a very, very long time ago. I was with someone else; she was, too,” Paulson explained. “We sort of breezed by one another, and then started following each other on Twitter, and then—”

Her fellow guest Billy Eichner then asked, “Holland Taylor slid into your DMs?”

“She actually did,” Paulson replied. “Yeah, it’s pretty great.”

That November, Taylor did an interview with the radio station WNYC and while she didn’t name Paulson, she did admit she was dating someone younger than her.

“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,’” the actress joked, adding more seriously, “It’s the most wonderful, extraordinary thing that could have ever possibly happened in my life.”

She also discussed her sexuality, saying, “I haven’t ‘come out’ because I am out, I live out.”

In December, People reported that Paulson and Taylor were together, with sources saying they had been dating for “a couple months.”

Shortly after, Paulson shared her ticket stub from the play Ripcord, writing, “@HollandTaylor You sure are a genius. #favoriteactress.”

They attended the opening night of School of Rock together.
