This question has been answered pretty thoroughly above but to reiterate-
You and your partner can divide the deduction on your individual taxes however you want to as long as both of you are on the mortgage. Since you're both filing single one of you can take it or you can split it 50/50 or 75/25 or whatever. Just be consistent from year to year and don't try to have both of you take the same deduction.
