Holland Taylor, 80, laid down some romantic wisdom for us mere mortals when speaking about her relationship with Sarah Paulson, 48.

“I think we each follow our own path, so we’re not exactly the same,” Taylor said when asked about the secret to their success as a couple. “We do some things separately so everyone gets to be true to what they believe. She’s much more social, and I like a little bit of alone time, so I have that. She spends some time with friends and not with me, so it’s a good balance.”

They started dating in 2015 and were, of course, immediately subject to skepticism about their 32-year age gap, but Paulson shut it down.

“If anyone wants to spend any time thinking I’m strange for loving the most spectacular person on the planet, then that’s their problem,” she said. “I’m doing just fine.”

But there was a time when she was worried about going public with the relationship as she was warned that it might have a negative impact on her career.

“It occurred to me, ‘Should I not?’ And then I thought, ‘Why would I not?’ The fact I’m having this thought is wrong. But I had a moment of societal concern; wondering if, maybe, people who didn’t know that about me would be like, ‘Wait, what?’ But then, you know, I did it anyway.”

Let this be a lesson to you, folks: the next time you face one of life’s many quandaries, simply ask yourself, “What would Sarah and Holland do?” and then reap the many rewards.
