Cameron Diaz’s Ideal Marital Living Arrangement Involves Not One, Not Two, but Three Separate Bedrooms

For as long as it has been the cultural norm in America for married couples to sleep in the same bed every night, there has been a small but vocal minority of people who insist that sleeping in separate bedrooms is actually totally fine. Healthy, even! Cameron Diaz is on the side of the separate sleepers. In fact, Diaz wants to know why we have to stop at separate bedrooms. Why not entire separate houses?

“We should normalize separate bedrooms,” Diaz (who is married to Good Charlotte guitarist Benji Madden) said on the podcast Lipstick on the Rim. “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.” She added, “And we have the bedroom in the middle that we can convene in for our relations.”

This would be a perfectly sensible arrangement if you were, say, the king of England or the heir to a real estate empire or Helena Bonham Carter and Tim Burton. You know, someone who can afford to buy half a suburban block for your family alone. Unfortunately, even his-and-hers bedrooms is a stretch for most of us who live here on Earth. I mean, has Cameron Diaz looked at interest rates recently? Does she know about the housing affordability crisis?

But this is a debate so contentious that Diaz argues against herself in the same interview. “By the way, I don’t feel that way now because my husband is so wonderful,” she clarified. “I said that before I got married.”

We got ourselves a real Henry VIII over here.
