Linda Perry talks about romance with Sara Gilbert

Sara Gilbert and Linda Perry have been an item for eight months but the world just learned of the star coupling in November.

“It’s so awesome,” Perry told E! Online’s Marc Malkin Thursday at the Critics’ Choice Awards. “I would never have expected that me and her [sic] would be dating.”

“We met and we just instantly connected,” Perry added.”We’re so alike but so different, too. It really works.”

So, is marriage a possibility?

“I don’t know,” Perry tells Malkin. “We gotta get through a year first. It’s been eight months. We’re going on nine. We haven’t even lived together yet.”
