Actors Sarah Paulson and Holland Taylor may have the keys to success when it comes to sustaining a longtime relationship, but they don’t have the keys to just one residence.

The couple, who have been together since 2015, live in separate homes, Paulson revealed this week.

The “American Horror Story” star, 49, said that while she and Taylor “spend plenty of time together,” they don’t “actually live in the same house.”

“We’ve been together for a long time now and I think part of it has to do with, we’re together when we wanna be and we’re not when we don’t,” she told Jason Bateman, Sean Hayes and Will Arnett during Monday’s episode of their podcast, “SmartLess.”

However, the Emmy-winning actor noted that she still often shares a bed with the 81-year-old stage and screen star, known for roles in “Legally Blonde,” “Two and a Half Men” and “The Practice.”

“I like to sleep near her. I don’t want to be around her the rest of the time,” Paulson quipped about before adding: “Just kidding.”

She also shared that Taylor had never previously been in “a long-term relationship” before they began dating, whereas Paulson had been in two relationships that lasted more than five years.

“To get to be her age and sort of not having really cohabitated with someone for a long time, I think it was a lot to sort of all of a sudden have me and all my neediness in her space,” she said.
