Does a shared life need to require shared living spaces? Cameron Diaz has some progressive thoughts about the matter. While she’s been happily wedded to Good Charlotte<\/a> guitarist Benji Madden since 2015, the actress divulged her belief that relationships<\/a> might be better off by having separate bedrooms\u2014and even separate houses<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The 51-year-old made the claim during an appearance on Molly Sims<\/a> and Emese Gormley\u2019s Lipstick on the Rim<\/em><\/a> podcast.<\/p>\n

“I have my house, you have yours, and we have the family house in the middle,” she explained of her ideal situation. “I will go and sleep in my room. You go sleep in your room. I\u2019m fine.”<\/p>\n

She noted that there would naturally be a communal space for, er, intimacy.<\/p>\n

“We’d have the bedroom in the middle that we can convene in for our relations,” she added.<\/p>\n

The unique take got the podcast hosts laughing. They joked that the actress probably shouldn\u2019t have shared her unconventional opinion with the public, but Diaz was unphased.<\/p>\n

“I\u2019ve already said it,” she responded before assuring that she didn’t actually want to live apart from her husband.<\/p>\n

“By the way, I don\u2019t feel that way now because my husband is so wonderful,” she exclaimed. “I said that before I got married.\u201d<\/p>\n

Diaz and Madden welcomed their daughter, Raddix, in January 2020.<\/p>\n

Though the couple, who welcomed their daughter, Raddix, in 2020, tend to keep a low profile, they’ve both sung their praises about each other.<\/p>\n

In an interview with Harper’s Bazaar<\/em><\/a> in 2016, Diaz mused about how getting hitched was never part of her plan.<\/p>\n

“[Marriage] was the biggest thing I\u2019ve done in my 40s, and it opened me up in different ways,” she said. “It\u2019s pretty awesome. I didn\u2019t think it was something I\u2019d do, and I don\u2019t know if I\u2019d have done it if I hadn\u2019t met my husband. It was a surprise.”<\/p>\n

Madden also shared his adoration for his wife in an Instagram post<\/a> to celebrate her birthday back in 2018.<\/p>\n

“So many things that make me so proud of you and how special you are. Thank you for being the best friend and partner to me and taking this journey of Marriage,” he wrote.<\/p>\n

“The way you live your life every day, and your compassion for the world shines [through] in your eyes, and you inspire me to want to be the best man I can be in this lifetime. You\u2019re the realest. I\u2019m so grateful to be yours. Always&Forever, and to call you my One&Only. True Love.”<\/p>\n

Since retiring from acting<\/a>, Diaz and Madden have been residing in Montecito<\/a>, California.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":42672,"featured_media":84992,"template":"","format":"standard","categories":[23,16],"yoast_head":"\nCameron Diaz Wants Married Couples Living Apart To Be Normal<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Cameron Diaz has been happily wedded to Benji Madden since 2015.
