Overview
- In early November the couple began posting candid videos on their YouTube channel Holding On that show therapy-informed conversations, arguments and moments they call breakthroughs.
- Phillips has described their current arrangement as living “separately, but adjacent,” meaning they occupy nearby houses to give space while continuing to work on the marriage.
- Their therapist’s “One Thing” rule asks each partner to identify one core need and try consistently to meet it, a tactic Baldwin and Phillips say is simple in concept but hard to sustain after decades together.
- The pair attribute recurring conflict to mismatched communication styles and different expectations around emotional and physical intimacy, with Baldwin calling his approach intense and Phillips describing herself as more laid-back.
- They have not announced plans to divorce and have promoted a wider series rollout later in November as a public record of their repair work while acknowledging the process remains difficult.
