Paulson and Taylor first met at a dinner party in 2005, though sparks didn’t fly right away. They reconnected years later via social media and made their relationship public in 2015. A photo from that initial party was on Paulson’s fridge for years before they developed a romantic connection, she previously shared onThe View.
“I am thrilled and I feel very lucky to be with a person who is smarter, wiser, wittier than I, and that just makes my life better in every possible way,” Paulson said. “It makes me want to be a better person and a fully realized person.”
