It turns out the key to keeping the spark alive in Matthew McConaughey’s 13-year marriage isn’t candlelit dinners or exotic getaways—it’s downsizing the bed. Yes, really.

In his new book ‘Poems & Prayers,’ the Oscar-winning heartthrob spills the tea: “Get rid of that king-size mattress,” he writes. “Sleep shoulder to shoulder in a queen.”

Apparently, when the kids stopped snuggling with them, the king-size bed made the actor's wife, Camila Alves, feel like she was “a football field away.” So he did what any good rom-com lead would do—he shrunk the bed and cuddled up to her!

Indeed, the McConaugheys are one of those rare couples who seem to have found the right balance to navigate Hollywood’s divorce-packed-land. Check out this gallery to see how other celebrities foster genuine connections—even amidst hectic schedules and the glare of the spotlight.
