The 74-year-old actress has been dating the 42-year-old star since 2015 and Holland is head-over-heels for her girlfriend.

Speaking on SiriusXM's 'Sandyland with Sandra Bernhard', she said: "I'm the luckiest person in the world. I can't talk about my life today and not mention this wonderful love.

"It has to be part of what is the most wonderful thing in my life. The whole embrace of this wonderful relationship, which makes everything else makes sense."

Sarah and Holland first met at a dinner party over 10 years ago but only started dating after reconnecting on Twitter.

Speaking previously about their relationship, Sarah revealed she was "absolutely in love" with her partner.

She said: "If my life choices had to be predicated based on what was expected of me from a community on either side, that's going to make me feel really straitjacketed, and I don't want to feel that. What I can say absolutely is that I am in love, and that person happens to be Holland Taylor."

And during a TV interview at the 2016 Emmy Awards, Sarah said on camera: "Hi, Holland - Holland Taylor, if you're watching, I love you."

A delighted Holland replied on Twitter: "If I'm watching...?? If I'm WATCHING??? YES, I'm watching-!!! good LORD! ... I LOVE you!!!"
