In the video uploaded to her channel on Sunday, Nov. 3, Phillips explained that she and Baldwin are doing a "test run" of living separately, while claiming that they "are sort of an allergy to one another."
"Billy and I are sort of in this new kind of arrangement that is actually really working for me," Phillips, 56, divulged in the clip. "I don’t know if it’s working for Billster, but I’m really happy with what we’re doing."
Calling the arrangement "totally unstructured," Phillips went on to reveal that not only are she and the Flatliners actor living in different homes, but they're also currently camped out in entirely different cities.
"I said to Billy, ‘Look, why don't we just do a little test run to see what it feels like to have me in Santa Barbara, you in Beverly Hills, and then we flip-flop. Then in between, we have date nights together, we have therapy, we have dinner with the children and we go to the beach or the museum.'"
Phillips, who shares three children with Baldwin, 61—daughters Jameson, 24, and Brooke, 19, and son Vance, 22—said that she and the actor still "have sleepovers and stuff" but they just aren't "forcing ourselves to be subjected to each other's energy 24/7."
Phillips admitted that Baldwin "is a bit more reticent about the whole thing," but during the YouTube video, she called up her hubby to get his take on their new living situation.
"I think that we're onto something." she said while FaceTiming the South of Hope Street star. "I really do, because we enjoy each other’s company. It’s so hard to articulate to people that we’re madly in love, we really enjoy being around one another, we cherish our marriage, we don’t ever want to separate. We just need a little time apart because we are sort of an allergy to one another. And it’s OK. I’m sure lots of different couples are allergies to each other."
Baldwin then chimed in to say, "The reality is you have the allergy, I have a certain energy that makes you have a— see, your back just tweaked just now...You do things that, you know, sort of alter my energy sometimes."
But Phillips and Baldwin were both laughing with one another during the conversation, proving that they're still keeping things lighthearted while trying out the new arrangement.
Baldwin even joked that he and his wife still get "conjugal visits" with one another—and it seems to be working just fine for them!
