A day after talking about their unconventional lifestyle, which involves residing in different homes and cities in California, the couple was seen hanging out together at a small local market in Glen Center.
Despite revealing that they were ‘arguing like crazy’ before making the decision to spend more time apart, the actor and singer, both 56, who married in 1995, looked happily in love as they embraced in the middle of a parking lot.
For their relaxed gathering, Baldwin, who starred in the films Flatliners, Backdraft, Sliver, Virus, The Squid and the Whale, wore a light gray T-shirt, jeans and a pair of Converse.
At one point, he could be seen carrying an ice-cold drink and a cat carrier with his adorable feline inside.
Meanwhile, Phillips cut a casual figure in a loose-fitting white button-down shirt, black-and-white striped pants, and sandals.
Billy Baldwin and his wife Chynna Phillips were seen sharing a rare hug outside Jayde’s Market in Los Angeles after recently revealing that they are living apart.
She opted to style her long blonde hair in pigtails and accessorize her look with red-tinted glasses and a long tan coat.
When they left Jayde’s Market, Phillips was carrying a large shopping bag, canned beverage and his iPhone.
Their latest sighting comes after sharing a video, posted to their religious YouTube channel, California Preachin’, about the surprising way they are making their relationship work.
‘Billy and I are in this new kind of arrangement that is really working for me. I don’t know if it’s working for Billster, but I’m very happy with what we’re doing,” she told her followers.
The star later added that the couple has an “allergy toward each other,” although Billy insisted it was Chynna who was allergic to him.
It comes after Chynna said the couple were ‘arguing like crazy’ earlier this year, and that she had been ‘walking on eggshells’ for fear of ‘provoking’ him.
In her new video, Chynna said they are doing “a little test” as they live in separate houses in Santa Barbara and Beverly Hills, but still get together for “date nights” as well as “therapy” and dinners with their three. children: daughters Jameson, 24, and Brooke, 19, and son Vance, 22.
‘I really felt like, where in the Bible does it say I have to live under the same roof 24/7 with my husband?’ Can you find that writing for me?’
A day after talking about their unconventional lifestyle, which involves residing in different homes and cities in California, the couple was seen hanging out together at a small local market in Glen Center.
“I mean, I have to take care of him, I have to be kind to him, I have to be gentle with him, I have to obey him or, what’s the word…submit.”
‘There are so many people who hate that scripture that we have to submit, but that’s what it says. He says we must submit to our husbands. So I understand all that. And I will, I will submit. But I will submit when I am around,” he said with a smile.
She added that she and Baldwin can have “sleepovers” and spend time together whenever they want, but they don’t “force themselves to be subject to each other’s energy 24/7.”
Later in the video, she shared a FaceTime conversation with her husband.
“Honey, I called you three times and you didn’t answer,” she told him, to which he replied, “Not everything works on your schedule, honey.”
As they continued to chat, she said of their new living arrangement, “We’re on to something.”
Their latest sighting comes after sharing a video, posted to their religious YouTube channel, California Preachin’, about the surprising way they are making their relationship work.
‘Billy and I are in this new kind of arrangement that is really working for me. I don’t know if it’s working for Billster, but I’m very happy with what we’re doing,’ she told her followers.
‘We enjoy each other’s company. “That’s what’s so hard to explain to people: that we are madly in love, that we really enjoy being together, that we cherish our marriage, and that we never want to be apart,” he added.
‘We just need a little time apart because we’re kind of allergic to each other. And that’s okay, I’m sure many different couples have allergies to each other.
Baldwin added that “the reality is that you have allergies” and that he has “a certain energy” that bothers her.
Billy added: ‘You know what people say: “We bring out the best in each other”? No. I bring out the worst in her.’
She replied: ‘I think that’s true. You may have noticed that my patience has wavered over the last year and a half. My threshold and bandwidth for your energy have definitely decreased.’
‘I think that’s true in general because of the things we’ve been through in life. We’ve gotten older and menopause is coming,’ she said.
‘Oh, okay, are you going to blame it on menopause?’ she asked.
“No, but that’s a contributing factor,” he said.
The star later added that the couple has an “allergy toward each other,” although Billy insisted it was Chynna who was allergic to him.
Chynna then told him, ‘You have to admit, Billy, that I also do things that provoke you and frustrate you, and that I may do some things throughout the week that may make you shut down a little, and then treat me a little differently.’
He agreed and gave an example of when he had asked her to stretch her back and she said no, to which he said she had ‘back pain’ and was in a ‘bad mood’ at the time.
The dynamic couple also joked about having ‘conjugal visits.’
In the caption of the video, Chynna wrote: ‘Marriage is a rollercoaster, but I think I’ve found a way to get off the ride, without having to “get off the ride.”‘
‘Billy and I are working together to structure a living situation that works for both of us. We may be crazy, but we think we’re onto something.
‘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 little confused about where we are… It makes perfect sense because I am too (crying emoji).”
Later in the comments, she reiterated that the move was to improve her marriage, after several fans voiced their concerns, with comments such as: “Nothing good can come from this separate living situation.”
Chynna wrote: ‘Hello friends! Guys, I’m fighting for our marriage, not against it. We have decades of love between us, that’s definitely not going anywhere.
‘Marriage is deep waters and I’m running a shipwreck! Billy and I are peanut butter and jelly.
Chynna previously opened up about the couple’s ups and downs. In April, she said she had been “butting heads” with Billy and that they had been “arguing and arguing” more than ever since they moved from the East Coast to California.
The couple share three children: daughters Jameson, 24, and Brooke, 19, and son Vance, 22.
‘Billy and I have been doing it these last few days. We’ve been getting on each other’s nerves.
“It’s frustrating because just when I feel like we’re on a roll and things start to get better, we start arguing again,” he added.
Chynna admitted that she sometimes feels like she’s “walking on eggshells” with the actor and gets nervous about sharing her feelings with him because she doesn’t want to “make waves” or “get him in a bad mood.”
“It all comes down to I don’t want to provoke him. But the truth is that having that fear prevents us from having true intimacy. It’s stopping me from opening up to him. I’m trying to protect his feelings and yet I’m causing more problems in our marriage by doing so. “I’m shooting myself in the foot,” he added.
In 2010 she filed for divorce from Billy, before quickly withdrawing the papers.
The moment she said Us weekly that she had “started to feel a little stuck” in the marriage.
“Everything became as important to the kids as it was to my business, their business, and I missed it. I really missed it. I missed laughing together, taking our little vacations together.
And in January she claimed that her growing interest in religion created a “power struggle” between her and her husband.
“I’m not the same person I was 30 years ago and I refused to have the same marriage we had 30 years ago,” he said during a YouTube livestream.
‘It’s time for us to mature and grow up. He was okay with it, but I think for him it was also like, “Well, you don’t like the things that I like.”
Chynna has been married to Billy since 1995; They are shown together in December 1995 in New York City.
Chynna converted to Christianity in 2022 and revealed in January that her faith had become a “glaring issue” between them.
Billy later appeared on his YouTube channel and said that they were still going strong after a six-month period of separation.
“It hasn’t turned into the kind of partnership you were hoping for or hoping for,” Billy said.
‘But I still absolutely love you, absolutely adore you and support you completely. 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 together about faith. That’s why I’m doing this for you… It’s because I’m a loving and understanding husband who adores his wife and wants to spend the rest of my life with you, no doubt.’
