Billy Baldwin and his wife, Chynna Phillips, live life on their terms.

The singer revealed why they don’t live together during a FaceTime with Baldwin in a YouTube video posted on his channel on Sunday.

“We just need some time apart because we’re kind of allergic to each other,” Phillips said. “And that’s okay. I’m sure many different couples are allergic to each other.

Baldwin, 61, then chimed in and claimed that it was actually his wife who preferred to be away from him, not the other way around.

Phillips lives in Santa Barbara, California, while Baldwin resides in Beverly Hills, and they sometimes flip-flop.

She said they still go to therapy, have date nights and “sleepovers.”

Although they stay in touch, they don’t “force themselves to be subject to each other’s energy 24/7.”

“I am very happy to have taken this chance. … Billy is a little more reticent about the whole thing,” Phillips said.

The mother of three also explained that she “cherishes” their 29-year marriage and has no intention of splitting.

“I think we’re onto something. Really, because we enjoy each other’s company,” she said.

“It’s so difficult to explain to people that we are madly in love,” added the 56-year-old musician.

However, Phillips – who married Baldwin in 1995 – admitted to having less “patience” with her spouse lately.

“You’ve noticed that my patience has waned over the last year and a half,” she told the actor. “My threshold and bandwidth for your energy has definitely decreased.”

In January, she also confessed to her marriage to Baldwin. was “a real struggle”.

“I’ve been with Billy for 32 years and we have a great marriage, but we’ve definitely had the toughest two years of our marriage in the last few years. It’s been a real struggle,” Phillips said at the time.

The couple shares three children: Brooke, 19, Vance, 23, and Jameson, 24.
