When Sarah Paulson met Holland Taylor, 75 and thirty years her senior, at a dinner party a decade ago, she remembers thinking that she was "probably the most exquisitely beautiful woman I’d ever seen.”

Sarah, 43, was dating someone else at the time, and the two didn't cross paths again until a few years later. They followed each other on Twitter, exchanged some messages, went to dinner, and the rest is history. Now that the two have been together for years, the Ocean's 8 star told Modern Luxury it doesn't bother her when people critique her relationship.

“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.”

She's made similar comments about her relationship in the past. She told InStyle earlier this year that she's not quite used to her private life being so public.

“On one hand, when you’re in a relationship that makes you happy, you would be telling anyone who wanted to know about it. On the other, there’s a sort of … meal of it for people," she said. "That’s not my favorite thing. But I don’t want to spend my life jumping from shadow to shadow.”

Sarah told Modern Luxury that age doesn't really scare her, because she thinks it allows for a completely different set of roles. Sometimes she gets freaked out about turning 50 (in seven years) but then she reminds herself not to think too far ahead because she has no idea what could happen between now and then.

“And that’s just what makes life so sweet," she said. "You cross your fingers, take a deep breath and jump. And that’s really all you can do.”
