Matthew McConaughey Says Switching to a Queen-Size Bed Strengthened His Marriage

The advice comes from his new collection Poems & Prayers.

Overview

  • In a Fox News Digital interview, McConaughey said a king-size bed left him and Camila Alves feeling distant once their children stopped crawling in at night.
  • He described replacing it with a queen so they sleep “shoulder to shoulder,” insisting the tighter setup is “good for your marriage” and leaves no space for kids.
  • The tip appears as a short poem in Poems & Prayers, published in September 2025, which pairs personal reflections with faith-tinged writing.
  • McConaughey also stressed carving out couple time alongside parenting, saying the example spouses set for their children matters.
  • The couple married in 2012, recently marked 13 years together, and share three children: Levi, 17, Vida, 15, and Livingston, 12.
