'My partner and I don’t live together. If we did, that would be the end of us...' The famous couples who live apart!

Being in love with someone or being in a serious relationship usually means that you set up home together. But that isn't always the case, especially for the rich and famous. The following stars have decided that absence does indeed make the heart grow fonder and live apart from their lovers. Read on to find out who they are and why their living situation works for them...

Although the ‘Big Bang Theory’ actress and Karl Cook are not married anymore, when they were a couple they lived apart. Speaking on the ‘Bad Behavior’ podcast, Kaley revealed that they were about to move in together, but also stated that having their own space is something that was working very well. She said: "The older I get, I know now what works for me. Even when Karl and I met, and I knew I was totally in love with him and we wanted to get married, we both really like our own lives and we actually like our own couches."

In 2018, actress Gwyneth Paltrow got married to her second husband, Brad Falchuk, but they kept living in their own homes. In an interview with The Sunday Times newspaper, the ‘Politician’ star said that they made their decision based on a close friend’s advice. She said: "All my married friends say that the way we live sounds ideal, and we shouldn't change a thing.”

‘Homeland’ star Claire Danes and her husband Hugh Dancy lived separately, due to their busy work schedules. While she was filming ‘Homeland’ in North Carolina, Hugh remained in New York working as well. Speaking to Net-A-Porter, Claire revealed it was a “tough” time for them. She said: "That distance is corrosive, and I’m just bad at it. And I don’t particularly want to get good at it. We learned along the way how essential it is for us to be physically together as often as possible.”

One of the most legendary celebrity couples is this one undoubtedly! While Tim and Helena are sadly no longer together, they were in a relationship for 13 years … living separately! The film stars lived in a conjoined property, each one in different sides of it. Bonham Carter once told the Daily Mail: "We see as much of each other as any couple, but our relationship is enhanced by knowing we have our personal space to retreat to."

The proud parents of three children tied the knot in 2010, but decided not to live together. Also, the fact that she was living in New York and he was living in Los Angeles, did not make things easier, as they both had their lives and careers established there. Speaking to Entertainment Tonight, the model revealed that it is not easy, but that they try to see each other as much as possible. She said: "We don't go longer than two weeks without seeing each other. It's absolutely fabulous. I love it. We just meet in L.A. or New York. We meet in Paris, Miami. It's pretty sexy.”

‘Younger’ star Nico Tortorella got married to his beloved Bethany in 2017, after 11 years together. Back then, however, he told People that they had decided not to live together. Nico said: "We still don't live together. We see each other on a weekly basis. We're face timing all day, every day." The couple is also openly and proudly polyamorous!

Brangelina were one of the most famous couples of all-time, although sadly they are no more. A close source to the pair once told Us Weekly magazine that in the months prior to their 2016 divorce Jolie and Pitt had been living separately, although they were still sharing the same property. The source said: "Angelina basically had her own wing and he had his.”

According to Marie Claire, ‘Erin Brockovich’ actress Julia Roberts and hubby Danny Moder do not live together, even after more than 15 years of marriage. The outlet informed that, at some point, the pair purchased a $9 million mansion where Moder spends a significant number of days on his own.

'The X-Files' actress opened up during an interview with The Sunday Times newspaper, revealing that the key to her marriage’s success is living separately. Discussing her union to ‘The Crown’ creator Peter Morgan, she said: "My partner and I don’t live together. If we did, that would be the end of us. It works so well as it is – it feels so special when we do come together.” It seems the unusual living arrangement didn't work because they are no longer a couple.

A former White House worker told the Daily Mirror newspaper that the former President of the United States and his wife Melania slept in different wings of the White House when he was the leader of the free world.
