Cameron Diaz has shared her views on marital sleeping arrangements during an episode of model Molly Sims' podcast, sparking a conversation about what constitutes a healthy lifestyle.
"We should normalize separate bedrooms," said the 51-year-old star of The Holiday, outlining her somewhat unconventional perspective on marital living.
"To me, I would literally have my house, you have yours, and 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," Cameron explained.
She then elaborated on this concept, suggesting a middle bedroom for couples to meet for intimacy.

The couple's relationship, which blossomed into marriage in 2015 just ten months after the pair were introduced by Nicole Richie, has been a journey of deepening affection.
Nicole, who is married to Benji's twin brother Joel Madden, played a pivotal role in their meeting. Reflecting on their first encounter during a 2021 appearance on Anna Faris' podcast,
Cameron recalled being instantly attracted to Benji.
"When I saw who he was, that's what made me really be like, 'Oh, you're special, you're the guy, you're the hidden gem in my life,'" she shared.

The couple welcomed their daughter Raddix in 2020, and Cameron, during a conversation with Gucci Westman that year, shared her joy in motherhood.
"I'm so grateful and so happy, and it's the best thing ever. I'm so lucky to do it with Benji, and we're having the best time. I'm thrilled. I can't believe it."

Cameron and her family, including Benji and Raddix, live a relatively private life in Montecito, California, in their $12.67 million mansion situated in the gated community of Ennisbrook.
The property, initially listed for $15.75 million, offers the family a serene and luxurious living space.
In January, the couple celebrated their eighth wedding anniversary, and Benji took to Instagram to express his love and admiration for Cameron. "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 15," he lovingly wrote.
