Actress Cameron Diaz says she wants society to “normalize” the idea of married couples sleeping in separate bedrooms.

The 51-year-old star has been married to Good Charlotte guitarist Benji Madden since 2015. The couple has one child together.

Diaz made her comments about having separate spaces during an appearance on the “Lipstick on the Rim” podcast. When one of the other women said her husband snores, the “Charlie’s Angels” star said she prefers living together, but apart.

“We should normalize separate bedrooms,” Diaz said. “To me, I would literally, I have my house, you have yours. We have the family house in the middle. I will go and sleep in my room. You go sleep in your room. I’m fine.”

“And we have the bedroom in the middle that we can convene in for our relations,” she added.

When one of the podcast hosts mentioned that her stance could be seen as controversial, Diaz brushed it off with a joke.

“I’ve already said it,” Diaz said. “By the way, I don’t feel that way now because my husband is so wonderful. I said that before I got married.”

The concept is not new to Hollywood celebrities. Actress Gwyneth Paltrow and her husband, Brad Falchuk, live in different houses.

“Oh, all my married friends say that the way we live sounds ideal and we shouldn’t change a thing,” Paltrow told The Sunday Times of their arrangement in 2019, which includes Falchuk spending four nights a week at her house and the rest at his own home. 

Another famous couple rumored to have slept apart was Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip. According to the late monarch’s biography, this arrangement worked well for them and was very common among royals and other members of upper-class British society.

“In England, the upper class always have had separate bedrooms,” Prince Philip’s cousin Lady Pamela Hicks said, via Woman and Home. She insisted this didn’t have any bearing on the strength of the relationship.

“When you are feeling cozy you share your room sometimes,” Lady Pamela continued. “It is lovely to be able to choose.”
