Love Life Of Sarah Paulson And Holland Taylor
Considered one of the most unusual couples in Hollywood, the Sarah Paulson Holland Taylor-duo started dating in 2015. They had met each other a few years before when both of them were in relationships with different people.

Later, they bumped into each other again at Martha Plimpton’s home while promoting an event hosted by an organization. Soon, they developed a natural bond and followed each other on Twitter.
It wasn't until Holland took the first step and approached Sarah through her Twitter's private DM that the two started dating. However, the couple took about a year to come out in public with their relationship finally.
Faced Criticism For Dating A Much Older Woman
While love life is one of the best things for Sarah and Holland, some take it otherwise. Sarah is often criticized for dating a much older woman than her, with some even calling the par as belonging to two different generations.
But, Sarah didn't bother herself with the opinions of the haters. Justifying her choice to date the veteran actress, she said in the June 2018 issues of Modern Luxury:
“If someone wants to spend any time thinking I’m strange for loving the most spectacular person on the planet, then that’s their problem.”
It was not only the media that commented on her relationship. Sarah was warned about dating Holland by some of her closest individuals. One of them even pointed out the negative impact which the bond would have on her career.
“Early on, when people found out I was with Holland, someone said: ‘I think you have to be careful, I’m afraid it’s going to affect your career negatively.’ I was like, what? It never occurred to me at all.”
Luckily, Sarah isn't the one to give in to peer pressure as she went on with the relationship anyway. Today, the duo's love for each other is stronger than ever and has surpassed the test of time, too.
Holland Doesn't Enjoy Public Invading Her Privacy
Holland Taylor - Sarah's partner - insists on keeping her love life details to herself. The actress is surprised by fans' fascination with their relationship. So, it was a rare sight when Sarah posted a picture of them on Instagram this new year in 2020.

Due to the generation gap with her partner, Holland often has a hard time adjusting to things - which her partner is accustomed to. During a 2018 interview with InStyle, she said:
“I’m from an older generation, and for me it’s quite surprising how people talk about personal things of any kind in the press.”
However, Holland believes that though she feels it's natural to publicize her relationship, it doesn't necessarily mean it's terrible.
Who Is Sarah's Partner Holland Taylor?
Holland's acting career extends longer than her partner Sarah's entire life. She initially started her career performing in Broadway shows and soon moved to TV. Her TV debut came with a role in the TV film J.T. - released in 1969.
However, Holland had to wait for nearly 11 years more to get her big break on TV - which came through Bosom Buddies, co-starring Tom Hanks.
Over the years, she has acted in many successful movies and TV shows, including Two and a Half Men, Legally Blonde, Mr. Mercedes, Bosom Buddies, The Truman Show, and more.
Sarah Not Always A Lesbian, Formerly Engaged To A Man
Considering the age gap between Sarah Paulson and Holland Taylor, Holland probably isn't going to be Sarah's last partner. But, what's more, interesting is that she isn't Sarah's first love either.
The Glass actress hasn't been a lesbian all along as once she dated a man and even got engaged to him.
Before joining the lesbian club, Sarah was in a relationship with American actor-screenwriter Tracy Letts. She and Tracy were meant to be a husband-and-wife. Sadly, the pair broke up their engagement and went their separate ways.
To this day, the former couple hasn't disclosed the reason for their separation.

Sarah's second known relationship before Taylor was with Cherry Jones.
Cherry is also an actress like her ex and is known for her performances in TV shows and movies like A Handmaid's Tale, 24, Succession, Signs, Erin Brockovich, Motherless Brooklyn, Ocean's Twelve, and more. The former pair started dating in 2004 and were together until 2009.
One thing all three of Sarah's partners (either ex or current) have in common is that they are all older than Sarah. Tracy is the youngest among the three, as he is nearly a decade older than his ex-fiancee.
Meanwhile, Cherry shares an age gap of about 18 years with Sarah.
