Tom Cruise (R) and Katie Holmes (L) with their daughter Suri EPA/- CORBIS OUTThe couple, who married in Italy last year, have master bedrooms in separate wings so Katie can get her "beauty sleep".A source told America's Star magazine: "It's a situation that works for both of them. Of course they spend time together alone at night like most married couples - after all, they conceived Suri! In fact, they even joke about having separate bedrooms to their friends - Katie says Tom snores, and this way she can get her beauty sleep!"The couple are said to have slept in separate rooms since they started dating in 2005. Katie has decorated her wing in "feminine pastel colours" and filled the space with stuffed animals.The source added: "At first, it was because Katie was Catholic and single, and they were only dating. It was the proper thing to do. Now that they are married, they don't feel the need to alter the arrangement. "When Katie moved into the house, it was made clear that Tom occupied the north wing of the second floor and that she would occupy a cluster of suites on the south wing of the same floor."Katie wanted to make herself feel at home, and she insisted on remodelling her area, which consisted of a study, parlour and large bedroom suite. Over the course of several months, Katie created a larger space to have as her own. In the end, she designed the room of her dreams, a very feminine room painted in pastel colours, with a small carousel and filled with many stuffed animals. It's a perfect fit, and Katie is fine with it."A representative for Tom and Katie has denied they sleep in separate bedrooms.(C) BANG Media International
