Brie Bella has to “schedule” sex with her husband.

The 37-year-old retired wrestler and her husband Daniel Bryan – whose real name is Bryan Danielson – no longer have a “spark” in their sex lives now that they’re parents to two young children, and Brie has admitted the couple now have to plan when they’re going to be intimate with one another.
Brie – who has Birdie, three, and Buddy, seven months, with Daniel – said: “I thought one kid took away a lot of time. Then you put two in the mix who have different needs. It really wipes out all your energy and time.
“He and I actually did say the other day, ‘We need to go on a vacation.’ We feel like being away from our kids will help really spark something. Because really … you have to schedule everything out and it is awful. Nothing can be spontaneous.”
And although planning sex isn’t the most romantic way of being intimate, Brie insists she wouldn’t change anything about her family, as she’s “blessed” to have two children.
She added: “The one thing [we] said that we feel blessed with having two [kids] - because of how much it changes - is that we have such a great partnership, really great communication and a strong friendship. We respect each other and we’ll just look at each other at times and be like … ‘Should we have sex or just go to sleep? Because that means we get eight hours.’ We’ll always put more sleep [first].”
Instead of prioritising sex, the couple often spend their evenings “really talking” with each other, which the ‘Total Bellas’ star thinks is “nice”.
Speaking to Us Weekly magazine, she explained: “It’s nice, we do have a couple of hours we get before we want to crash and go to sleep, and we really talk with [each other]. You really need a strong partnership to just do parenting, like, together and be sane.”
