Overview
- In a Nov. 7 video the couple posted on their Holding On channel they filmed heated exchanges and discussed a therapist’s 'One Thing' rule, saying the idea is simple but hard to do consistently after three decades together.
- The pair are living in nearby but separate homes, a deliberate arrangement they call 'separately, but adjacent' that they say is meant to give space while they work on the marriage rather than signal a formal divorce.
- Both have identified a mismatch in how they communicate—Baldwin describing himself as intense and urgent and Phillips as more relaxed—and they say those differences feed recurring fights and stress around emotional and physical intimacy.
- Phillips told Fox News Digital she once considered ending the marriage and 'calling a lawyer' during prior 'treacherous' periods, but said Baldwin’s recent willingness to do intentional work produced some breakthroughs.
- The couple’s channel already features multiple candid videos and promos that chronicle painful stretches followed by reported progress, and their decision to make therapy public may shape how long-term couples talk about living apart and repair work.
