Two & A Half Men’s Holland Taylor Confirms She’s In A Relationship With A Woman

Actress Holland Taylor has been on screens since the 1970s, even winning an Emmy as Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series for The Practice in 1999. However thanks to her awesome turn as Charlie and Alan’s mother Evelyn in Two & A Half Men, for many she is indelibly linked to the sitcom.

Despite her success, she hasn’t spoken too much about her private life, but now she has confirmed that she is in a relationship with a woman, adding, “I haven’t come out because I am out. I live out.”

Holland was asked about whether she’d thought about marriage in her current relationship when she spoke about her sexuality, saying to WYNYC, “Well, my relationship is with a woman, and I have not – given my generation it would not be something that would automatically occur to me. But she’s mentioned it because just from a spiritual point of view, from a heart point of view, as a deed that has a very rich symbolic gesture to it, it has its attraction. But it’s been a very casual conversation at this point. But it’s not – it would be a very private thing. I would not do that publicly. But as a symbol, as a pledge, as a plighting one’s troth I would see it – that it would be a wonderful thing to do.”

After being asked if she’d share her partner’s name, the 72-year-old actress added, “Well I feel at this point in the conversation it feels kind of awkward. Now I feel very very shy of it. I’ve been really wrestling with this lately because most of my relationships have been with women and I don’t like talking about them because I don’t like talking about the politics of it all because I’m not political about it. I think we’re ridiculous in this country about it. Ridiculous.

“And so, it’s awkward because if I talk about relationships in my life or people that have been in my life, or somebody I’ve been seeing for a while or this, that and the other thing, I’d like to be able to just say that, without having to stop and say, ‘so have you come out?’ No, I haven’t come out because I am out. I live out.”
