Este Haim believes separate bathrooms are an “essential” part of her marriage.
The Haim singer and bassist – who married Chainalysis co-founder and CEO Jonathan Levin in California, on New Year’s Eve 2025 – has stressed the importance of keeping romance alive in a long-term relationship, but also admitted personal space is vital.
Discussing her previous comments about how her marriage’s success was for her and Jonathan to “always be dating”, she told People magazine: “I think people misunderstood that.
“What I meant was, you need to continue leaving little notes for each other. Flowers are nice. Don’t get complacent – and separate bathrooms, I think, are also pretty essential…
“Yes, I have a busy life. Yes, you have a busy life. But s*** gets stale really quickly if you don’t keep it sexy, and you don’t take each other out or send me a silly nude. Let’s keep it spicy.
“That’s what I meant by always dating, because when Johnny and I were first dating, that’s what it was, it was very playful. And so when we got engaged, I was like, ‘We can’t lose this. Keep it.’”
However, the 40-year-old musician doesn’t want to have a separate bedroom from her husband, even though he’d have a better night’s sleep.
She said: “I have a bit of a snoring problem according to my husband, so I would understand if he wanted to sleep in a different bed, but it won’t happen. Sorry.”
Este and Jonathan want to feel as though they are always “courting” and enjoy regular date nights.
Of one recent outing, she said: “We went back to where we went on our first date. We went to Pioneer Works … It was a day of music and art, and there was good beer and wine, and it was just really nice to go back to our roots.”
Este previously expressed her belief that couples should “always be dating” to maintain a happy relationship.
She told People magazine: “Keep pursuing, even if you’re in a relationship.
“You should always be dating. You should always be working toward having a better relationship.
“Relationships are work, and I think people forget about that.”
For those who don’t have a partner, Este encouraged singletons to “go have a good time”.
She added: “If you’re single, go have fun. You know, we’re on a spinning rock in a vast universe, like, go have a good time, yeah.”
