Billy Baldwin and wife Chynna Phillips share rare embrace after revealing they live 'separate lives'

As a seasoned observer and empath, I find myself deeply moved by the rollercoaster ride that is Chynna and Billy’s marriage. With decades of love between them, they seem to be grappling with the complexities of maintaining a long-term relationship, especially as both individuals evolve and their interests diverge.

Outside Jayde’s Market in Los Angeles, Billy Baldwin and his wife Chynna Phillips were spotted showing a less common display of affection, coming after their recent announcement that they have been living apart.

On a particular day following a conversation about their unique lifestyle, where they split their time between various houses and urban areas across California, the duo was spotted visiting a humble neighborhood market located at the Glen Center jointly.

Even though they had been arguing intensely prior to deciding to take some space, the 56-year-old actor and singer – married since 1995 – appeared to be deeply in love as they warmly embraced in the midst of a parking lot, radiating happiness.

At his relaxed gathering, Baldwin opted for a casual outfit consisting of a light grey tee, blue jeans, and a pair of classic Converse shoes.

At some point, he was spotted with an icy drink and a pet carrier, housing his cute kitten.

Phillips had a relaxed appearance, wearing a loose white button-down shirt with black and white stripes on the pants, paired with sandals.

Instead, she chose to wear her long, golden hair in twin tails and added a touch of style with red-hued sunglasses and a lengthy tanned coat.

As they left Jayde’s Market, Phillips carried a large shopping bag, canned drink and her iPhone. 

The recent encounter takes place following her posting a video on her religious YouTube channel, California Preachin’, discussing the unusual approach they’re utilizing to maintain their relationship.

She shared with her audience that Billy and herself have entered into a unique setup that’s proving beneficial for me. I’m unsure if it’s equally beneficial for Billster, but I’m extremely content with how things are progressing between us.

The star later added that the pair have ‘an allergy to one another,’ though Billy insisted it was Chynna who has an allergy to him.

Following Chynna’s statement about their argumentative behavior earlier in the year, and her apprehension about potentially upsetting him due to her careful steps.

In her latest video, Chynna mentioned that they are carrying out a small trial run since they reside in different homes, one in Santa Barbara and the other in Beverly Hills. However, they continue to arrange ‘date nights’ along with therapy sessions and family dinners involving their three kids: daughters Jameson, 24, Brooke, 19, and son Vance, 22.

“Could you help me locate the specific passage in the Bible that requires continuous cohabitation between a married couple? I’m curious to see if such a rule exists.

In simpler terms, you could say, “I need to look after him, treat him with kindness, show him compassion, follow his instructions, or, in other words, respect his authority.

She acknowledged that many find the scripture challenging, yet it’s clear what it states – women should submit to their husbands. She understands this concept, and she intends to comply. However, she clarified with a laugh that her submission will be practiced only when in their presence.

She noted that she and Baldwin could enjoy ‘overnight visits’ or spend time at their leisure, but they’re not obligated to constantly interact with one another around the clock.

Later in the video she shared a FaceTime conversation with her husband.

Hey love, I tried reaching out thrice, but you weren’t available. Guess it wasn’t my timing, huh? You know, not all things in life sync up with my rhythm, sweetheart.

As they continued to chat she said of their new living arrangement: ‘We’re on to something.’

She expressed that there’s a unique joy in our presence that’s hard to put into words. What I mean is, we have an intense affection for each other, we truly savor the time spent together, we highly value our union, and we can’t imagine being apart from one another.

As a relationship coach with decades of experience, I have seen countless relationships that seem to be more like allergic reactions than harmonious unions. In my personal journey through love and heartbreak, I’ve learned that sometimes, spending some time apart can help alleviate the symptoms of this “allergy.” It’s not always easy, but it’s often necessary for growth and understanding. Just as people with food allergies need to avoid certain triggers to maintain their health, couples who find themselves reacting negatively to each other may benefit from a period of separation to regain balance and perspective. I’ve seen many relationships thrive after taking the time to rediscover themselves and their partners, free from the constant exposure that can lead to an allergic reaction in love. It’s important to remember that every couple is unique, and what works for one may not work for another. But if you find yourself feeling drained or irritated in your relationship, it might be time to consider a brief period of separation as a means of finding relief and rebuilding the connection that brought you together in the first place.

Baldwin remarked, “The truth is, you have an allergy,” and he possesses a particular ‘energy’ that tends to irritate her.

Billy commented, “People often say that they bring out the best in each other. In my case, however, I seem to bring out the worst in her.

She replied: ‘I would think that’s true. You’ve noticed that my patience has faltered over the past year and a half. My threshold and my bandwidth for your energy has definitely decreased.’

He believes this is often accurate due to our collective life experiences. As time passes, we both grow older, and women like you go through menopause.

‘Oh okay, you’re going to blame this on the menopause?’ she asked.

‘No, but that’s a contributing factor,’ he said.

Chynna explained to Billy, “I need to be honest with you, Billy. There are actions of mine that set you off, cause you stress, and sometimes during the week, I perform certain actions that might make you withdraw slightly. As a result, your behavior towards me changes a bit.

He consented and provided an illustration of a past incident where he had requested her to massage his back, to which she responded negatively. At that moment, she explained she was experiencing back discomfort and was in a grumpy state of mind.

The dynamic couple also joked about having ‘conjugal visits.’

In the video title, Chynna expressed that marriage is like a roller coaster, but she believes she has discovered a method to exit the ride, without physically leaving it!

Billy and I are collaborating to create a living arrangement that suits us both. Some might say we’re a bit unconventional, but we believe we’ve found an effective solution.

‘Does distance really make the heart grow fonder? Well, we’re certainly about to find out.’

She added: ‘Keep praying for Billy, he’s a bit confused about where we stand… Makes perfect sense, because I am too [crying emoji].’

Later on in the comments, she emphasized again that the decision was made to strengthen their marriage. After some spectators voiced their worries, remarks such as “This separation will only bring harm” were made.

Hi Everyone! Just wanted to clarify, I’m fighting for our marriage, not against it. The deep-rooted love we share is something that will surely stand the test of time.

‘Marriage is deep waters and I’m running a tight shipwreck! Me & Billy are peanut butter & jelly.’

Previously, Chynna discussed the highs and lows experienced by the couple. Back in April, she admitted to having numerous disagreements and arguments with Billy, claiming that their conflicts increased significantly since they moved from the East Coast to California.

Billy and I have had a bit of friction lately, as we’ve been really irritating one another.

She expressed her frustration, saying, “It’s disappointing as we seem to be making progress, and things are improving, but then the arguing starts all over again.

Chynna confessed that at times, she finds herself treading carefully around the actor and grows anxious about expressing her emotions towards him, as she wishes to avoid upsetting him or causing discomfort.

‘It just comes down to me not wanting to trigger him. But the truth is, me having that fear is keeping us from true intimacy. It’s preventing me from opening up to him. I’m trying to guard his feelings and yet I’m causing more trouble in our marriage by doing that. I’m shooting myself in the foot,’ she added.

In 2010 she filed for divorce from Billy, before quickly withdrawing the papers.

At the time she told Us Weekly that she’d ‘started to feel a little flatlined’ in the marriage.

The focus shifted towards the kids and work, both mine and his. I genuinely missed him. I missed the shared laughter, the small trips we took together.

In the chilly month of January, I found myself embroiled in a complex dynamic with my partner due to my growing fascination with religious matters. This newfound interest sparked what felt like an undercurrent of tension – a power struggle, if you will.

She stated during her YouTube livestream, “I’m not the same individual as I was 30 years ago, and I don’t want our marriage to be like it was 30 years ago.

It’s high time we advance and develop ourselves. He agreed, but I suspect he felt something along the lines of, “You don’t share the same interests as me.” in his mind.

In the year 2022, Chynna embraced Christianity, and in January she disclosed that this change of belief had become a significant point of contention for them.

After a six-month break, Billy reappeared on their YouTube channel, sharing that things were continuing positively for them.

Billy stated, “It hasn’t evolved into the kind of partnership you’ve been longing or anticipating.

‘But I still absolutely love you, absolutely adore you, and completely support you. That’s why I’m sitting here now. That’s why we go to church together. That’s why we pray together. That’s why we talk about faith together, That’s why I do this stuff for you … It’s because I’m a supportive, loving husband who adores his wife wants to spend the rest of my life with you, no question.’
