Sam Faiers on why she and her boyfriend will share separate bedrooms for YEARS

Keeley Ryan

She says she “can’t imagine” it any other way.

Eight months after welcoming their second child, Sam Faiers and her boyfriend Paul Knightley are still sleeping in separate beds.

In fact, the former The Only Way Is Essex star says they are going to continue to co-sleep with their kids for another few years.

Sam shares a bed with their eight-month-old daughter, Rosie; while Paul shares a bed with their son, Paul – and the mum-of-two says she couldn’t imagine doing it any other way.

She explained to Fabulous magazine how she moved out of the bedroom she was sharing with her boyfriend and young son while she was pregnant as she started getting “really uncomfortable” at night and kept waking them up.

Recalling how that ended up with her moving into her own bed, she continued:

“Then when I had Rosie I was so comfortable in that bed that it just continued that way. She’s still in there with me.

“I can’t imagine not having one of them in the bed with me now. It’s gone on for so long, as it’s so lovely to wake up with them and cuddle and see their little faces.

“Obviously when Paul goes to school he’ll be in his own room, but it’s such a small time that they’re this young.

“When they’re four and going to school, that’s it, they’re not babies anymore.

“I think while we can, and we’re still all comfortable with it, it’s really nice having them in the bed with us.”

Sam and Paul first met in 2014, shortly after her splitting from former TOWIE co-star Joey Essex. They found out that they were expecting their first child just a few months into their relationship.

Paul (Junior) was born in December 2015, while the couple welcomed little Rosie last November.
