The secret of marital happiness? 5 Hollywood couples who live separately

There are couples who openly say that they feel more comfortable sleeping in different rooms or at least in different beds. As a rule, such a decision is beneficial - it improves the quality of sleep (especially if one of the spouses snores loudly or likes to spread out, with arms and legs spread wide).

And in an interview with NewBeauty magazine, the star, who was 53 at the time, shockingly admitted she would like to have a baby with Johnny: "I know it's crazy, but I could carry someone else's egg. I'd probably be the oldest person to do it..... But I'd love to."

In May 2023, the former revealed on the Smartless podcast that the secret to this happy relationship is separate residences, "We don't live together. Holland and I spend a lot of time together, but we don't live in the same house..... I think it has to do with being together when we want to be and not being together when we don't."

In addition, Sarah noted that she has a lot in common with her beloved, "When we're at a play, watching a movie or TV show, we like the same actors and the same characters.... We do have very similar tastes. I think we're interested in the same things about people's characters: what are the motivations behind their actions, what comforts them and what hurts them.... We just like to analyze these things."
