Billy Baldwin raises eyebrows as wife Chynna Philips admits she 'walks on eggshells' over fear of 'triggering' him

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Chynna Phillips recently shared insights into the challenges she and her husband of 29 years, Billy Baldwin, have been facing, particularly in light of a recent relocation across the country, reported by Fox News.

The 56-year-old singer discussed the strain on their relationship in a candid video posted on her faith-based YouTube vlog, 'California Preachin.'

Chynna Phillips and Billy Baldwin 'getting on each other's last nerve' over arguments

Phillips revealed that the move back to the West Coast had caused tension between her and the 61-year-old actor, resulting in bouts of bickering and arguing. She acknowledged that the change in environment had become a "perfect breeding ground" for disagreements.

"Billy and I have been kind of going at it these past couple of days," Phillips admitted.

"We have just been getting on each other's last nerve, which is frustrating, because just when I feel like we're on a roll and things are starting to get better, we start the bickering again very easily."

"I was really proud of myself because we started arguing this morning, and he was like, ‘What do you want?’ And I was like, ‘I want to communicate properly. I want us to have effective communication."

As soon as Phillips expressed her need for communication, Baldwin "gained his composure" and she "did the same."

"Then we were able to have like a normal conversation about what we were both upset about," she added.

"It was definitely a victory for us because we have a tendency to just sort of spiral and the communication breakdown gets worse and worse, and we’re off to the races," she continued.

"Billy's my life partner. I mean, he's the one I want to have the healthiest relationship with. He's the one that I want to be able to talk to when I'm feeling the most vulnerable or the most upset or the most sensitive or the most in fear. He's the one I want to be able to say, Oh, my gosh, I need to talk to you."

"But sometimes I don't. A lot of times I don't because I don't want to rock the boat, or I don't want to put him in a bad mood, or I'm walking on some eggshells."

Phillips acknowledged her role in the breakdowns, expressing her readiness to take responsibility. "It's partially my fault," she admitted, recognizing the need to trust her husband and communicate openly about her emotions.

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

Billy Baldwin felt 'flatlined' after having children with wife Chynna Phillips

Chynna Phillips and Billy Baldwin's relationship has been marked by both joyous moments and difficult trials since they first crossed paths in 1991. The couple, who met by chance at an airport, eventually tied the knot four years later, cementing their bond with the arrival of daughters Jameson, 24, and Brooke, 19, as well as son Vance, 22.

Despite their enduring love, Phillips and Baldwin have faced their fair share of challenges throughout their marriage. In March 2010, Phillips made headlines when she filed for divorce from Baldwin, only to retract her petition shortly thereafter. Reflecting on her decision during a June 2010 interview, Phillips revealed her feelings of dissatisfaction and longing for more from their relationship.

"I started to feel a little flatlined, like I need more and want more, and I know we deserve more from our marriage," Phillips said at the time.

"It became so about the children and so about my business, his business, and I missed him. I really missed him. I missed laughing together, taking our little vacations together."

Despite feeling "hopeless" about the state of their marriage, Phillips and Baldwin found renewed hope through therapy and a shared commitment to work through their issues together.
