Sara Paulson has showered other half Holland Taylor with so much love on her birthday, and hearts everywhere have melted.
The American Horror Story actress, 48, and The Practice star, 80, have been dating since 2015.
They first met at a party a decade earlier, but they were both dating other people at the time.
Fortunately, the universe brought them back together, with Holland actually sliding into her now partner’s DMs after they reconnected while working on a project for Martha Plimpton.
Expressing her love for her girlfriend as she hit the big 8-0, Sarah posted an adorable photo of her girlfriend, looking super glam with a full face of make-up, posing next to some pink streamers.
Seemingly struggling to sum up her love in words, Sarah began in her caption: ‘What to say…’

Addressing her partner directly, the Ratched actress continued: ‘You are sitting at the counter not 15 feet from me, drinking your chocolate coffee as usual. I am happiest this way-YOU near.
‘When we talk about what it means to live- what this human experience is all about, we always end up somewhere where you aren’t exactly sure if you’ve contributed enough- if it’s mattered.’
She went on: ‘I can list all the ways in which you matter, ways you’ve contributed to the lives of those around you, as well as the world at large (ANN for one) But I can speak to some piece of this acutely… You matter to me. YOU. MATTER. TO. ME.
Sarah later took to her Instagram Story to share a slew of private snap for her other half’s special day (Picture: Instagram)

‘You’ve changed me. In all the important ways. Sharing my life with you has made everything else make sense.’
Sarah concluded her heartfelt message: ‘Happiest Birthday to you, Holland V. Taylor. I just want to say thank you. Thank you for loving me. I will never be the same.’
Lost for word’s at the emotional tribute, Holland responded in the comments: ‘What a moving LOVE LETTER—’
The Emmy winner was met with a wealth of birthday wishes from other stars too, with Samuel L. Jackson commenting: ‘HAPPY BIRTHDAY, HOLLAND🎶🎶🎂💕👊🏾👊🏾‼️’
Of course, there was birthday cake – and sparkler candles! (Picture: Instagram)
Orange Is the New Black star Uzo Aduba wrote: ‘This is beautiful. The photo, the words. ❤️❤️’
A very moved Lena Waithe simply commented: ‘Tears.’
Sarah went on to share more personal snaps on her Instagram Story in honour of Holland’s special day.
‘Happiest birthday to my person’, she wrote on one, which captured Holland sitting on a swing, looking out at the sea.
‘Always doing this. Literally. ALWAYS’, she wrote on another, which sneakily caught Holland re-applying her lipstick.

‘Loves a mango and wearing my bathing suits’, she added to another pic, which showed the star on a boat, looking as happy as can be as she nibbled on some fruit.
She later posted a short clip of a slice of birthday cake, with sparkler two candles in the numbers 8 and 0 burning brightly.
Despite their 32-year age gap, Sarah and Holland have remained all loved up for seven years now, and have simply brushed off critics of their relationship.
In the interview in 2018, Sarah was asked to talk about being in a relationship with an older woman.

She replied: ‘I do not want to be defined by who I share my bed, my home, my soul with. My choices in life have been unconventional, and that’s my business.’
However, she also hopes that living their truth out in public can help to break down some stigma around age gaps in relationships.
‘Our relationship represents a certain amount of hope and risk. Maybe there’s something brave in it. Maybe it encourages others to make brave choices. What else can I say? We love each other,’ she gushed.

Speaking of bravery, Holland herself has previously praised Sarah as ‘brave’ for falling in love with her.
‘A big age span is a challenge to any relationship. And she’s just very brave,’ she said in 2020.
‘She’s very brave and she is very truthful and she’s going to live her truth. And so I basically am following her lead and I’m blessed.’
