Cameron Diaz enjoys her space!

On Tuesday, Molly Sims and her best friend Emese Gormley released their latest episode of their podcast Lipstick on the Rim with a segment featuring the Charlie’s Angels alum, 51, and her Avaline wine business partner Katherine Power.

As the ladies talked about health conscious lifestyles, Diaz opened up about what she once considered her ideal living situation for her household.

After one of the women admitted her husband snores, the Bad Teacher star — who married Good Charlotte rocker Benji Madden in 2015 — had a confession of her own.

“We should normalize separate bedrooms,” Diaz chimed in before explaining her reasoning.

“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 continued.

When one of the hosts joked the revelation might be controversial, the group joke that the Shrek alum shouldn’t have shared it.

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

Diaz and Madden, 44, share a 3-year-old daughter named Raddix, whom they welcomed in January 2020.

"Happy New Year from the Maddens!" the couple wrote in their announcement post on Instagram at the time. "We are so happy, blessed and grateful to begin this new decade by announcing the birth of our daughter, Raddix Madden. She has instantly captured our hearts and completed our family."

Earlier this year, Benji and Diaz celebrated their 8-year wedding anniversary.

"In Love, Inspired, Happy and Grateful," the “Lifestyles of the Rich & Famous” artist wrote in a sweet Instagram tribute to his spouse and daughter. "Eight years married, side by side, and now a little one for us to guide🐣let's do 80 more and then forever ❤️❤️❤️ happy anniversary 1*5*✨@camerondiaz my ❤️❤️‍🔥🌹🌎."

Though the couple is typically private when it comes to their baby girl, during an October visit to The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Diaz shared a cute suggestion for a way that her husband and Raddix could collaborate creatively.

"When he's at home, does he do songs for your daughter or… ?" Fallon asked.

"Yeah, he makes up — he has, honestly, I'm like, 'Why don't we just… you need to do a kids' album,' because he has the best songs," the star says. "They play in my head all the time because he sings them to her and she knows the words. And it's the sweetest thing ever. It really is. It's so… it kills me."

"He has some bangers," Diaz joked. "I'm telling you."
