Chynna Phillips Spills the Truth About Her Unconventional Living Arrangement with Billy Baldwin
Chynna Phillips recently opened up about a major change in her marriage to actor Billy Baldwin, revealing that the couple, who have been married since 1995, are now living separately. In a candid video on her faith-based YouTube channel, California Preachin’, the 56-year-old actress shared how this new arrangement has been positively impacting her.
“Billy and I are in this new kind of arrangement that is actually really working for me,” Phillips explained to her viewers. While she admitted she wasn’t sure if her husband shared her sentiments, she added, “I don’t know if it’s working for Billster, but I’m very happy with what we’re doing.”
Phillips, known for her role in Bye Bye Birdie and as a member of the musical group Wilson Phillips, described their relationship humorously, saying they “have an allergy to one another.” Baldwin, however, jokingly suggested that it was Phillips who had the “allergy.” The couple’s lighthearted comments come amid past revelations about the challenges they’ve faced together.
Earlier this year, Phillips spoke about the tension in their marriage, revealing that they had been “bickering like crazy” and that she often felt like she was “walking on eggshells” to avoid setting him off. According to Daily Mail, their recent living arrangement follows a period of increased disagreements since relocating from the East Coast to California. Phillips reflected on how the transition had intensified their arguments, mentioning in April that they were “going at it” and had been arguing more than ever.
The couple’s journey hasn’t been without its ups and downs. In 2010, Phillips even filed for divorce, though she later withdrew the paperwork. Reflecting on that difficult period, she recalled feeling “a little flatlined” in the relationship, a sentiment she shared with Us Weekly. Despite that challenging phase, the two remained committed to working through their differences.
This new arrangement seems to reflect a shift in their approach to marriage, giving them space while allowing Phillips to feel more at ease. Phillips’ openness about the separation sheds light on the evolving nature of long-term relationships and the unique ways couples may find to maintain their connection. As Phillips continues to share insights on her YouTube channel, her story resonates with many who face similar challenges in balancing personal growth with partnership.
