“I think it certainly helps with preserving mystery and also preserving the idea that this person has their own life,” she told Harpers Bazaar in 2020, revealing that they finally moved in together a year later.

So which other famous couples are known for sleeping in separate beds – and most importantly, why?

1. Cameron Diaz and Benji Madden

During a recent podcast, Diaz admitted that her and Madden are more than OK with their separate living arrangements. “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,” she said, adding that they have yet another bedroom “that we can convene in for our relations”.

2. Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip

Though no longer with us, this royal couple – who were together for 73 years until Philip’s death in 2021 – were famous for their living arrangements. According to an interview with Prince Philip’s cousin Lady Pamela Hicks in 2012, having one’s own bedroom is a long-standing tradition for stiff upper Brits.

“In England, the upper class have always had separate bedrooms,” Hicks told royal biographer Sally Bedell Smith. “You don’t want to be bothered with snoring or someone flinging a leg around. Then when you are feeling cosy, you share your room sometimes. It is lovely to be able to choose.”

3. Kevin and Danielle Jonas

The royals aren’t the only ones prioritising a good night’s sleep in their marriage. Kevin, one half of Jonas Brothers, is such a terrible snorer that his wife Danielle opted out of sleeping beside her new husband fairly quickly, according to reports in In Touch Weekly. “They are still crazy about each other,” a source told the publication in 2011, adding that “the snoring has become a big joke for their friends”.

4. Helena Bonham Carter and Tim Burton

While this Hollywood powerhouse pair are no longer together, their break-up had nothing to do with their quirky living arrangements, which worked for the pair for 13 years before their split in 2014. The self described “bonkers couple” were famous for living next door to each other in London. “We see as much of each other as any couple, but our relationship is enhanced by knowing we have our personal space to retreat to,” the star of The Crown told The Telegraph in 2010.

5. David and Victoria Beckham (sometimes)

“When you’ve been married that long, some regular distance does you both good,” an insider also told Us Weekly.

6. Donald and Melania Trump
