Katherine Ryan has revealed that she sleeps in her daughter’s room rather than with her husband.
Speaking to Radio Times, the comedian explained that she simply prefers sleeping apart from her husband, Bobby Koostra, who doesn’t “demand undivided attention” from her.
“He didn’t do the other things that I’d experienced in relationships,” Ryan said.
“He didn’t demand undivided attention, he was not in competition with my daughter.
“Like, I still sleep in my daughter’s room in her sleepover bed. I don’t sleep in my bed with my husband.”
Ryan and Koostra entered a civil partnership last year; the two dated as teenagers when the comedian was growing up in Canada.
Ryan had her daughter, Violet, 11, with a former boyfriend whose identity remains unknown to the public.
Despite the fact that they sleep in separate bedrooms, Ryan told the publication that it has not affected her relationship with Koostra.
“We have sex at 10am when the kids are at school,” she said.
Ryan is not the only public figure who has spoken out about not sharing a bed with their partner.
Earlier this year, Gwyneth Paltrow revealed that she and her husband Brad Falchuk lived apart for the first year of their marriage.
“I thought it was really interesting how resonant that was for people,” the 47-year-old told Harper’s Bazaar.
“I think it certainly helps with preserving mystery and also preserving the idea that this person has their own life,” she said.
“So this is something I’m trying to remain aware of now as we merge together.”
