Raven-Symon has been married to her wife Miranda Maday for almost five years now, and theyve become inseparable in the process. From hosting their ‘Tea Time’ podcast together to regularly attending red carpet events, the pair is rarely seen apart from each other. But one place where they seem to need their space is when they lie their heads to sleep at night.
In the latest ‘Tea Time’ podcast episode, Raven-Symon was quizzing Miranda Maday about how their marriage expectations have shifted since saying I do. Miranda didnt hold back, spilling that their sleeping situation was the one thing that had gotten a major glow-up. Raven was low-key shook that her wife brought it up, but the 38-year-old wanted to talk about it to normalize having space in a relationship.
Apparently, when they moved into their new spot, Miranda and Raven realized their taste in interior design was quite different. Additionally, Raven-Symon’s wild, flip-flopping sleep moves were giving Miranda a hard time closing her eyes at night. Youre such a sporadic, bizarre sleeper, Miranda told her wife. Not only did they get to decorate their rooms to match their own aesthetic, but it also saved them from clashing over their sleep schedules. Miranda jokingly told Raven, Primarily, youre not f***** up mine.
Raven-Symon jumped in, thinking back on the exact moment they knew sleeping in the same room wasnt it for them. It was right around the time of their engagement when the pair was in bed and Ravens sleep acrobatics went all the way left, chile.
Miranda woke up to her wifes whole backside in her face after a violent flip that had her thinking she was wide awake. You flipped yourself up and over and put your entire a** on my face, Miranda recalled. That was the final straw, and the two agreed to having their own space at least at night.
The conversation continued in the comments section of their TikTok post, with fans weighing in with their opinions. See some of their thoughts below.

@shuzberight42 commented, yes, please normalize this! sleep is so important and not everyone can sleep comfortably with another person next to them!
@chrishools2 wrote, I genuinely dont get how some people are so insecure, that they feel they have to sleep in the same bed.
