There's the Queen and Prince Phillip, Helena Bonham-Carter and Tim Burton, Diane von Furstenberg and her husband, and Bob Ellis and his wife. (For the non-Australians, Bob Ellis is a political commentator and journalist).
However, I came across another famous couple who are separate sleepers. And this quite famous couple might surprise you - it certainly did me.
They are a couple that many people would not expect to sleep apart as the veneer of their life is one of a happy, normal family with two loving parents. They eat together, exercise together and take care of each other when their family unit is challenged.
For years, it didn't cross my mind that they were thought leaders in separate sleeping but have been getting the message out there since the beginning of the 20th century.
Readers, I give you Mother Bear and Father Bear.
To quote Goldilocks - on discovering their avant garde sleeping arrangement:
She climbed on to Father Bear's bed and said "this bed is too high for me"
She then climbed on to Mother Bear's bed and said "this bed is too low for me"
She then lay down on Baby Bear's bed and said "this is exactly right"
They slept in separate beds!! How did I miss it?
If only they were still around to interview.
