Make Page Six a Preferred Source Billy Baldwin and Chynna Phillips revealed they’re “living separately, but adjacent” as they navigate marital issues.
“I never imagined Billy and I would be in the situation we’re currently in,” Phillips wrote on Instagram on Saturday alongside a photo of the pair in the car.
The Wilson Phillips singer, 58, admitted she and Baldwin, who have been married since 1995 and share three children, have a “super confusing” and “complicated” dynamic at the moment.
Phillips told her followers they can “get more context” from her and Baldwin’s new YouTube channel called “Holding On: Billy and Chynna.”
In a video released Saturday, Phillips and Baldwin detailed how they’re managing their relationship struggles.
“We went to therapy years ago, and [our therapist] called it ‘the One Thing,’” said Baldwin. “He’s like, ‘How are you not being fed? What are you not getting in a relationship? I want one thing. You give Chynna what she needs, you give Billy what he’s asking for.'”
“It’s so simple, yet it’s pretty difficult,” the “Silver” actor added. “It’s pretty challenging to do that consistently. When you’re together 30 years, it becomes more challenging.”
The couple explained they struggle to communicate since they have such different backgrounds.
“She’s a California girl, hippie chick, who is very laid back. … I’m not. I’m a New Yorker,” Billy shared. “So the way I was raised and the way I communicate can be defined by her [as] intense [and] urgent.”
Phillips told her husband she wants him to “let go just a little more in your life” of all the “strains and the stresses” he’s carrying, to which Baldwin replied, “It’s hard.”
“I think God played this cruel language where he wired women to want emotional intimacy … that leads to physical intimacy,” Baldwin explained, noting he gives Phillips “everything she wants for, like, 48 hours after we’ve been together physically.”
Baldwin added, “So I think I want the physical intimacy that leads to the emotional intimacy that she’s looking for.”

In an Oct. 23 Instagram teaser of their YouTube series, Baldwin and Phillips revealed they “live in separate houses.”
“Here’s the problem. Sometimes the way I communicate causes her to have a nervous breakdown,” Baldwin said in the video, before telling his wife, “And you control and manipulate.”
Elsewhere in the clip, Phillips asked Baldwin, “Where in the Bible does it say that I have to live under the same roof 24/7 with my husband?”
Baldwin told the camera, “She said I want to spend my life with you, but I want to spend it adjacent.”
Phillips opened up in a November 2024 YouTube video about her and Baldwin’s prior living arrangement, which consisted of living in two separate homes in Southern California.
She was residing in Santa Barbara, Calif., while the “Gossip Girl” alum was staying in Beverly Hills.
The couple said they moved back in together at the end of that year, with Phillips gushing that Baldwin was “an awesome roommate.”
