A public relationship for a private person

Holland Taylor is opening up about what it's been like dating someone so famous and in the public's eye when she's much more private herself.

The 77-year-old confirmed that they were dating back in 2015, but only recently started talking about what their relationship looks like behind closed doors.

Opening up to The Advocate, Taylor revealed that it's been a challenge being so public when she's private, but that she's proud of her girlfriend for her wide success in Hollywood.

"The relationship with Sarah became so public because she’s an enormous star and I was somewhat well known," she said.

"It became a news event and so I wasn’t going to deny it," she added.

When it came to when she felt comfortable coming out, Taylor said it was something that she never really had to think about.

"I think I was about 29 or 30 when I had my first relationship with a woman," she said. "But I didn’t talk about it per se. It would never have occurred to me to talk about my personal life in an interview anyway."

"When I started to be known, it was just a subject that never came up in a sense that no one would ask me," she continued. "I don’t know why no one would ask me, but they didn’t. And I don’t know what I would have said. It’s so funny. I can’t really remember any anxiety about that. I had not been in a relationship for a very long time."

Taylor also said that she's not a fan of labels, and prefers to be known for who she is, rather than what her sexuality may be.

"Well, if you said, ‘What is your sexuality?’ I’d say I’m gay," she said.

"I really don’t like the definitions. I just feel like I’m a person. It’s not the major defining thing of my life. It’s not defining. I’m a human being. That’s defining," she added.

The happy couple has been quarantining together during the pandemic, and have been trying to keep themselves busy while the world hunkers down.
