At the premiere of Netflix's show, titled Star Search, in which Sarah starred as a judge opened up about the key to her and Freddie's peaceful marriage.

"Separate bathrooms," she declared, via E! News.

She continued, "That's what I always say."

Chrissy Teigen, who is also starring as a judge on the show, revealed a similar rule she practices in her marriage to husband John Legend.

Chrissy shared that she does anything to "keep the sexy and preserve the sexy" like maintaining private spaces and these things make the difference.

Freddie also reflected on keeping his bond strong with wife Sarah in a conversation with Variety in July 2025.

He said, "Marriage is hard, no matter what business you’re in. What works for us might not work for everyone else. We work at it."

"I’m not perfect. She’s not perfect. We piss each other off, but we respect one another," the actor added at the time.
