Raven-Symoné Reveals She and Her Wife Sleep in Separate Bedrooms — “She Told Me to Leave!”

Raven-Symoné just got very real about married life — and let’s just say, it’s not all snuggles and shared pillows.

The That’s So Raven star recently appeared on intimacy expert Shan Boody’s popular podcast, where she opened up about an unexpected detail in her marriage to wife Miranda Pearman-Maday: they don’t sleep in the same bedroom.

Yep. Raven revealed that not only do she and Miranda have separate sleeping spaces — it was actually Miranda’s idea to kick things off.

Raven’s marriage is very bizarre. Since marrying Miranda, the two have been inseparable. Raven frequently brings Miranda, who is not a celebrity, to her interviews. And Miranda often takes over the interview, derailing them.

Raven explained, “My jaw dropped, I didn’t expect my wife to present this to me.’”

And listen — the way she tells it? It wasn’t some dramatic blow-up or shady ultimatum. It was more of a practical, boundaries-based moment between two women figuring out how to thrive in a shared space.

Raven admitted. “Our sleep styles were different. Our energy was different. And she was just like, ‘You need your own room.’ And honestly? She was right.”

According to Raven, having separate bedrooms has actually made their marriage stronger. “We sleep better, we love better, and we argue less. I wake up missing her, which is nice,” she said with a smirk

While the idea of married couples not sharing a bed used to be whispered about like a taboo, more and more people — celebs and civilians alike — are realizing that separate bedrooms might just be the secret sauce to relationship longevity.

Social media had thoughts, of course. Some fans were shocked (“I could never be in a marriage where we didn’t sleep together!”), while others felt seen. “This is actually so real,” one fan tweeted. “My partner and I have different sleep needs and separate rooms saved us.”

Raven and Miranda, who got married in 2020, have kept most of their relationship fairly private — but when they do speak out, it’s usually honest, grounded, and refreshingly non-Hollywood. This latest confession just adds to their growing reputation as one of the most relatable celeb couples out there.

And let’s be real: no one said marriage had to look like a rom-com. If separate bedrooms, solo naps, and intentional space are what keep the peace? That’s self-awareness, baby.

Raven summed it up perfectly: “We’re two different people who love each other deeply. And that means learning how to live together realistically — not just romantically.”
