Shark tank star Barbara Corcoran she is happy to sleep in a separate bedroom from her husband, Bill Higgins — especially because it keeps their more intimate moments from getting too long.
“I got to invite him into my bedroom and it’s like it’s his birthday. “How old are you, Bill? Come in!'” Corcoran, 75, quipped in a preview for the upcoming episode of The Jamie Kern Show in Limaper people. “(Does it) make sex better? No, but he thinks so.
When host Jamie Kern Pet asked if Higgins finds sex more enjoyable with their arrangement because it’s a “sure thing,” Corocoran replied with a laugh, “Yeah! And I like it because it’s a short thing. Not sure, but short.
“My idea of ​​a special night with my husband is a good game of Scrabble,” she continued. “He’ll often say S or S and I’ll say ‘Scrabble’ because the first S stands for sex and I’ll say ‘No Scrabble’ and I like to beat him at Scrabble and he likes to beat me at Scrabble and that’s great evening.’
Corcoran noted that there are many other reasons why she has kept a separate space from her husband of nearly four decades, noting that her career plays a role in her desire for “me time.”
“I think there’s something to be said for your personal space. I lead a very busy life. I have a huge family that I always entertain. I have very sincere, active friends, and what I need more than anything else is a break, and my husband does not relax,’ she explained. “He has ideas that don’t make sense. And to come out energized at the end of the day listening to it and nodding and contributing to the conversation? I don’t have enough.”
She added: “I’d better go to my room and have an hour to myself.”
Corcoran said Higgins was well aware of the rules of their household, sharing that he would follow her if she entered the “living room” but “didn’t dare” join her in her bedroom.
“I get to invite him into my bedroom and I like it that way,” she said. “He’s never asked me out again because he knows I’ll never walk into his bedroom, but I have to invite him into mine.”
This isn’t the first time Corcoran has spoken about this preferring separately sleeping pattern in marriage. During the performance of Today with Hoda and Jenna in March, she noted another reason to choose her own night space.
“He’s such a mess,” Corcoran said of Higgins. “He puts loads of stuff everywhere and I’m very tidy so I couldn’t sleep well at night. I sleep like a baby now.
Corcoran and Higgins married on Valentine’s Day in 1988. The couple share a son, Tom, who they welcomed in 1994, and a daughter, Kate, who they later adopted.
Earlier this year, Corcoran shared her best marriage advice that doesn’t involve the bedroom.
“You really have to accept your partner for who they are and not hope through marriage that they will change,” the TV personality said hello in February. “Because they never do.” You should be pleased! What you see is what you get.
