LOS ANGELES, June 5 (UPI) -- Sarah Silverman and boyfriend Michael Sheen don't always see eye-to-eye.

The 44-year-old actress and comedian opened up about her relationship with the 46-year-old actor Wednesday on The Ellen DeGeneres Show. Silverman said she and Sheen agree on critical issues, but joked about their very different interests.

"We like almost none of the same things," she shared. "I mean, we're like-minded in I think the most important ways, but he loves magic and he loves going to Pirate Adventure and I would rather be home and watching Law and Order.

Silverman and Sheen were first linked in Feb. 2014, following the actress' breakup with comedian Kyle Dunnigan. The star revealed she has no plans to marry, however, until same-sex marriage is legal everywhere.

"Who would? That said, I love when my friends get married and I'm so happy for them," she explained. "But I just don't understand the instinct to want to join a club that is elitist. I mean, it's like joining a country club that doesn't allow Jews or black people. What's the difference?"
