Love is love! Sarah Paulson And Holland Taylor, Elton John And David Furnisand more famous gay couples have had their fairy tale romances out in the open.
The American horror story actress was first linked to Taylor in 2015, and the couple has been going strong ever since. In January 2019, Paulson opened up about her relationship with the Two and a half Men alum started.
“We met a long, long time ago,” Paulson continued Watch What Happens live with Andy Cohen, joking that Taylor slipped into her DMs. “I was with someone else… and then something happened on Twitter. We did something at Martha Plimpton’s house, it was for an organization she worked with, and we both did a PSA for it. We kind of got mixed up and started following each other on Twitter.
Since going public with her relationship with Taylor, Paulson has been candid about her “unconventional” personal life with the Emmy winner, who is 32 years her senior.
“I don’t want to be defined by who I share my bed, my home, my soul with,” she said City & Country in 2018. “My choices in life have been unconventional, and that is my business. But I do want to live responsibly and truthfully without hiding. It’s complicated because there’s a lot of hate in this world, and a lot of good can come out of quote-unquote, normalizing something for people who don’t see it as normal.”
The Ocean’s Eight actress added: “Our relationship represents a certain amount of hope and risk. Maybe there’s something brave in it. Perhaps it encourages others to make courageous choices. What more can I say? We love eachother.”
For John and Furnish, who have been together since 1993, it was important to remain individuals even as they became such an iconic couple. The couple finally tied the knot in December 2014, after same-sex marriage was legalized in the UK, and they share two sons, Zachary and Elijah.
“It’s really important in any relationship that one partner doesn’t lose themselves in the other, and that’s really easy when you’re involved with a celebrity,” Furnish told the Observer in 2001. “They get so much attention and so much reverence anyway that it would be really easy to just get swept up in their other half. I had my own career, my own identity. The worst thing I could do was sacrifice that.
