Actress Cameron Diaz recently shared her thoughts on a lifestyle choice that often sparks debate: married couples sleeping in separate bedrooms. During a podcast appearance, the 51-year-old star suggested that society should “normalize” this arrangement to support healthy relationships.
Diaz proposed an ideal setup where each partner has their own private space. In her vision, a couple would have separate rooms but share a common area to spend time together. She believes this approach allows for personal independence while maintaining a strong connection.
Although she supports the idea, Diaz clarified that she does not follow this rule in her own marriage. She explained that her husband, musician Benji Madden, is “so wonderful” that she no longer feels the need for a separate room. She originally formed this opinion before they wed in 2015.
Since getting married, Diaz has frequently praised her husband, calling him the “hidden gem” of her life. The couple lives in California and shares a young daughter. Diaz retired from her acting career years ago to focus on her family and enjoys the peace of her private life.
While her comments were lighthearted, they highlight a growing trend among couples who prioritize a good night’s sleep. Whether it is due to snoring or different schedules, Diaz suggests that doing what works for your relationship is more important than following tradition.
