Sarah Paulson shared that she “absolutely” annoys her longtime partner Holland Taylor.

The couple have “built-in separations” in their relationship.

Paulson and Taylor have been dating for 12 years and previously revealed that they don’t plan on marrying.

Sarah Paulson is sharing insight into her relationship with Holland Taylor.

Answering questions about her 12-year romance with Taylor, the American Horror Story actress shared that the two like to give each other space. When asked by Chelsea Handler if she sometimes annoys her longtime partner, Paulson said “absolutely.”

“Yeah, we have to take breaks,” Paulson said on the Thursday episode of Dear Chelsea. “I mean, relationships are hard.”

While some might view a busy work schedule as a hinderance to a relationship, Paulson revealed that it helps her bond with Taylor.

“She’s working a lot,” Paulson continued. “And so we have these like built-in separations where we’re working and so we’re not together and that’s kind of nice.”

Throughout the years, Paulson, 51, and Taylor, 83, have been candid about their unconventional relationship. The Two and a Half Men alum recently revealed that they have separate homes in Los Angeles. Still, they do try to spend as much time together as their busy schedules allow.

“We do as much time as we possibly can, because work takes us apart constantly,” Taylor explained on The Drew Barrymore Show. “But I have an apartment here [in New York] and she stays here at my apartment when she’s here, and we stay together here when we’re both here.”
