Sarah Paulson has had her eggs frozen.
The 43-year-old actress – who is in a relationship with 75-year-old actress Holland Taylor – is still unsure whether she wants to have children but she’s taken measures to preserve her fertility as she’s worried she will "regret" not starting a family in the future.
She said: "I love kids, but I’m very impulsive and I was afraid that I would have children and then regret it. But that’s not something I feel entirely confident about either, because I might regret not having them, too. So I froze my eggs, just in case."
Before dating Holland, Sarah was in a relationship with former ’24’ star Cherry Jones, who is 18 years her senior, and she admitted she’s always got on well with older people.
The actress – whose parents divorced when she was a child – told the Sunday Times Style magazine: "I was always looking for some kind of grounding force.
"People look at me and Holland and say, ‘Mommy issues’, but I parent her as much as she parents me, so that’s not it.
"I’ve just always had older friends. I think a lot of people have a stunted way of looking at older people, it’s a way of distancing themselves from something that they think will not happen to them. I have the good fortune of being with someone who is older and wiser than I am."
The ‘People v. O. J. Simpson: American Crime Story’ actress came out when she kissed Cherry in congratulations after her then-partner won a Tony award, and she feels "lucky" it has never had an impact on her career.
She said: "I was lucky. And I felt really protected. I never had to worry that my job was in jeopardy."
