Kaley Cuoco shared insights into her relationship with fiancé Tom Pelphrey, revealing why they opted for separate beds.
On a recent episode of Dax Shepard's “Armchair Expert” podcast, Cuoco discussed the challenges of their differing sleeping habits and how they navigate this aspect of their relationship.
Kaley Cuoco revealed she and Tom Pelphrey sleep separately.
Cuoco, who is known for her love of pets, often shares her bed with several dogs and her daughter, Matilda. Pelphrey, however, found it increasingly difficult to share the space. "He was like, 'I can't do this anymore.' And I'm like, 'I understand,'" Cuoco stated. This led to Pelphrey moving to the guest room.
The couple's different schedules and pets caused tension.
The decision to sleep apart evolved from discussions during couples therapy, which they both appreciate. "At first, I'm like, 'What will people think?' And he's like, 'I never see you at night,'" Cuoco explained. The couple realized that separate sleeping arrangements allowed them to maintain their individuality and personal routines.
