AceShowbiz - Carson Daly and his wife, Siri Pinter, have found a unique solution to maintain a harmonious marriage: they sleep in separate beds several times a week. Known as "sleep divorce," this practice has been beneficial for the couple since 2019 when Pinter was pregnant with their fourth child.
According to Daly, the initial reason for sleep divorce was Pinter's discomfort during her pregnancy and Daly's sleep apnea. "We couldn't get comfortable," he explains. "We woke up and shook hands like, 'I love you, but it's time to sleep divorce.' "
After their family expanded to six members, sleep divorce continued to serve a practical purpose when Daly moved to California for "The Voice." His early morning wake-up time for "Today" also made it impractical for him to sleep in the same bed as his wife and newborn.
However, Daly emphasizes that sleep divorce goes beyond necessity. He and Pinter view it as a tool to prioritize their marriage's longevity. "The object is to stay together," he says. "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."
Daly believes that sleep divorce creates more attention for the couple's relationship. When they reunite in the morning after a night apart, they're refreshed and ready to connect. "It's been good for us," he admits. "We don't do it all the time, but a couple of days during the week, we part ways with a 'Good night, I'll see you tomorrow.'"
Despite their occasional sleeping arrangements, Daly and Pinter are happily married. They share four children, with the oldest exhibiting a talent for cooking. Cooking together as a family is another way they connect and create lasting memories. Daly praises Pinter's cooking skills, calling her "the big cook in the family."
In conclusion, Carson Daly and Siri Pinter's sleep divorce is a testament to their commitment to maintaining a vibrant and enduring marriage. By prioritizing their shared goal of staying together and embracing unconventional solutions, they have found a balance that works for them.
