Sometimes the secret to a happy marriage is a sleep divorce — just ask these celebrity couples.
Carson Daly confessed that he and wife Siri Pinter had been sleeping separately since 2019 when she was pregnant with their fourth child. (Daly and Pinter welcomed Jackson, Etta, London and Goldie in 2009, 2012, 2014 and 2020, respectively.)
He noted that his sleep-apnea factored into the equation when it came to their sleeping arrangements. Daly joked to People in 2020, “We just shook hands like, ‘I love you, but it’s time to sleep divorce. It’ll be the best thing for all of us.’”
Daly, who married Pinter in 2015, added that the pair’s separate set-up has “been good” for them. “We don’t do it all the time, but a couple of days during the week — especially if I want to watch an Islanders hockey game kind of later at night — I go into the guest room, she retires upstairs to read her book or watch a show,” he told People in April 2024.
Daly noted that he and Pinter would do “whatever it takes” to maintain their relationship, even if that means sleeping apart.
“The object is to stay together,” he told People in April 2024. “That’s what we’d like to do. And so reverse engineering that, it’s like — by any means necessary, for the two of us, [we want to] still be in a relationship when we’re dying.”
