Los Angeles Lakers owner Jeanie Buss and her husband Jay Mohr have one of the most unique marriages you’ll ever see.
Not only do they not sleep in the same bed, they don’t even live in the same building unit.
“Okay, everybody is gonna want to live exactly the same way,” Buss told Graham Bensinger in a new interview this week.
“Right now we live in a building that has three units. So I live on the top floor and Jay lives on the first floor. And so there’s a couple that live in between us.
“So where we live together, we’re at the same address except I’m unit three and he’s unit one,” she continued to explain.
“We don’t really want to change anything, because I like my space and I have my schedule and he likes his space and he has his schedule but I can take the elevator down in my slippers and hang out a little bit and go back up.
“I would recommend it to any couple that feels the same way.”
Jay Mohr expounded further on their bizarre marital living arrangement.
“It’s like, ‘All right. I’m gonna go up stairs…’ And we see each every morning, every afternoon, and every night,” he said.
“When you’re home alone in your bed it’s like, guys are gross. We just make sounds, like we sweat, the sheets get all wrinkly and weird. It’s like, ‘Aw, just let her sleep like a princess or a Barbie still in the box.’ She doesn’t need to be subjected to me, and my wrestling sweatpants, just belching in my sleep.”
Also, during the interview, Jeanie Buss talked about how people still ask her to autograph her Playboy photos from 1995 (which she does), how Jay Mohr’s drug addiction temporarily ended their relationship, and whether or not, as he claimed, she ever dated Dennis Rodman.
“I did not date Dennis Rodman. I did, he became a member of the Lakers, um…” she began to explain to Bensinger.
“Because he came out and said that,” Graham interjected.
“Yeah. I mean yes. In other words, when my dad brought on Dennis Rodman to the team it was kind of like, ‘Let’s make sure that we know where he is at all times,'” Buss responded.
“So, if it’s about, ‘Hey where are you gonna be tonight? OK, we’re all going to this restaurant, or we’re going to this club, or we’re going to this beach, or we’re going to wherever Dennis is going to be.’ You could say it was dating to say that it was making sure that I had an eye on him.”
Buss also said that her dad Jerry Buss advised her to stay away from diehard Lakers fan Jack Nicholson. Go figure.
