Raven-Symoné has revealed she and her wife, Miranda Maday, sleep in separate bedrooms. The “Cosby” star and Miranda opened up about their sleeping arrangements in the April 24 episode of their podcast Tea Time with Raven & Miranda.
Both ladies agreed that sleeping in separate bedrooms saved their marriage.
Raven-Symoné, 39, admitted it was her idea to sleep in separate beds last year. Miranda feared that Raven-Symoné was dropping a hint that she grew tired of their union and wanted out of the marriage.
Miranda confessed that social pressures from her parents and TikTok users made her think that married couples sleeping apart was a red flag. But, after talking to other straight and gay couples, she soon warmed up to the idea of going to separate bedrooms at the end of the night.
“We function better in separate spaces,” Miranda explained, with Raven adding, “Yep.”
Miranda said Raven is a “sporadic sleeper” who disturbed her sleep schedule.
“Not all the time, but especially when it comes to sleep. You are such a sporadic, bizarre sleeper, and I really need sleep to function. I was like, ‘We should have separate bedrooms, then we could each decorate our rooms the way we want,’ because you had a different vibe.”
“And then we wouldn’t f–k each other’s sleep schedule up — primarily, you’re not f–king mine up,” she added. “Raven, babe, you sleep in the reverse orientation.”
The “That’s So Raven” star then admitted that she does toss and turn in her sleep.
There have been times when Miranda woke up with Raven’s “a– in her face,” while other times she ended up rolling on top of Miranda. Sleeping with raven started to become dangerous.
“Now, we’ve decided that I’m sleeping in a separate bed, and when we need each other…” Raven said. “We text! It’s perfect,” they finished each other’s sentences as they burst out laughing.
Raven said sleeping separately increases their desire for each other.
“We do what we need to. It has upped my [desire] for you. I believe in ‘absence makes the heart grow fonder.’ We work together, we live together, we eat together, we cook together, we drive together…it’s like, I’m going to have a little time to myself, and I think that it’s actually helping.”
