Raven-Symoné And Her Wife Don't Sleep In The Same Bed — Here's Why People Think It's The "Key To Any Happy Relationship"
Before you judge, listen to why Raven-Symoné and her wife Miranda Maday decided to start sleeping in separate bedrooms. On the latest episode of their podcast, Tea Time with Raven & Miranda, the couple opened up about the factors that led them to sleep in different beds and how they quickly learned it works best for them, both individually and collectively. The two recently moved into a new home, but when it came down to decorating, their interior design styles just didn't seem to match. "We function better in separate spaces," Miranda said, to which Raven added, "Yep." "Not all the time, but especially when it comes to sleep," Miranda continued. "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 fuck each other's sleep schedule up — primarily, you're not fucking mine up. Raven, babe, you sleep in the reverse orientation." The former childstar confirmed that she does end up in various positions while she sleeps. There have been times when Miranda woke up Raven's "ass in her face," while other times she ends up rolling on top of Miranda. Basically, sleeping with Raven can get pretty unpredictable. "Now, we've decided that I'm sleeping in a separate bed than you, and when we need each other..." Raven said. "We text! It's perfect," Miranda said as she completed Raven's sentence and they both laughed. "We do what we need to," Raven continued. "It has upped my [grunts to represent 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 like, I'm going to have a little time to myself, and I think that it's actually helping." The Cheetah Girls star actually proposed the idea of separate sleeping arrangements to Miranda last year, and it worried Miranda so much she thought that Raven was actually hinting at wanting a divorce. But Miranda eventually learned she was trying to help them both, and now she couldn't be happier with their decision to do so. Miranda stated that sources like society, parents, social media platforms like TikTok, and even heterosexual norms, convinced her that couples, especially married couples, sleeping in different beds was a red flag. Raven then touched on the meaning of intimacy and how it stretches way beyond sex. Miranda expanded on her comments saying how we've been programmed to believe that, nowadays, love is your partner writing novel-length captions about you, but she revealed she feels love from Raven in the sense of security she gets from her. I truly enjoyed this conversation. There isn't one way to love someone or one way to be in a relationship, and it's great to see couples doing what's best for them instead of following the "rules" that have been laid out for us by society.

Matthew Lawrence says he was ‘reported' by H-E Double Hockey Sticks co-star Gabrielle Union for ‘embarrassing' reason
Matthew Lawrence has recalled the time his H-E Double Hockey Sticks co-star Gabrielle Union 'reported' him to the film's director and studio after he refused to rehearse a scene. The former child actor, now 45, starred alongside Union in Disney Channel 's 1999 sports comedy about a hot shot hockey player, Dave (Lawrence), who sells his soul to the devil's apprentice (Will Friedle) so that his team will win the Stanley Cup. Union portrayed Dave's guardian angel, Gabrielle. Speaking on a recent episode of his Magical Rewind podcast, which he co-hosts with Friedle and Cheetah Girls star Sabrina Bryan, Lawrence recounted the on-set incident. '[Union] wanted to rehearse and I was like, 'No, I'm good,'' the Mrs. Doubtfire actor recounted, explaining that 'at that point in my mind, I really loved memorizing the lines, knowing all the beats, but hated running it, because it felt like it took all the freshness out of it. Especially with comedy.' 'And she got angry and went and reported me to the director and the studio,' he said. Lawrence said that was the only time in his career 'where I was called into the office for something I did on set. And I had no clue.' 'Usually I'm like the advocate and I'm fighting for kids and like, you know, women's rights,' he said. He remembered the studio heads asking about why he had turned down Union's request to run the scene. 'I'm like, 'Oh God, I just I wanted to keep it fresh!'' Lawrence recalled. 'I was embarrassed.' The Independent has contacted Union's representatives for comment. Lawrence emphasized that the point of his story was not to rehash old disagreements but instead to highlight Union's ability to stand up for herself from the very beginning — well before she became a big star with Bring It On. 'I remember the same thing,' Friedle, 48, concurred. 'I remember people saying, 'Oh, she's gonna be — she's gonna be huge. Like on the set, people were like, 'She's gonna be big.'' In 2000, Union, 52, landed her breakout role in the classic sports comedy Bring It On. She has since gone on to star in major films including Bad Boys 2 (2003), Good Deeds (2012), The Inspection (2022), and Space Cadet (2024). Meanwhile, Lawrence, who starred in the seminal seven-season sitcom Boy Meets World, has featured in 2002's The Hot Chick and Marry Christmas (2024), as well as a handful of Melissa & Joey episodes.
