Meghan Trainor & Daryl Sabara’s New Toilets Have Them "Knees to Knees"
Originally appeared on E! Online
Meghan Trainor could have her Gucci on, she could wear her Louis Vuitton, but she knows her new toilets are what will really make you look.
After all, the “All About That Bass” singer recently detailed how she upgraded her and husband Daryl Sabara’s infamous double-john set up in their new home’s primary bathroom.
“We’re moving into a new house, and it has a toilet facing this way, and a bidet across from it,” she explained on a July 8 episode of the Armchair Expert podcast, noting she will transform the bidet into a second toilet. “It’s gonna be a little different, but it’s a tighter bathroom area, so we will be close. Knees to knees. And that’s better. I want to see him.”
And while the “Me Too” singer—who first revealed her double toilet set-up in 2021—understands her interior design choice isn’t for everyone, she noted that the impromptu add-on in her old home was “the best invention” in her “entire” life.

“When we first got there, there was this old school bidet, and I was like, ‘We’re not going to use that,’” she recalled. “I was like, ‘We have an extra toilet, let’s just pop that one next to it.’ And my plumber laughed at me. And I said, ‘What’s so funny my dude? Get up there. Get it going.’”
Despite Meghan noting that she was “destroyed” on the internet for facilities, podcast host Dax Shepard—who admitted he and wife Kristen Bell also have his and hers lavatories—had never heard about it, and gushed, “This is so romantic.”
Encouraged by Dax’s interest, Meghan—who shares sons Riley, 3, and Barry, 12 months, with Daryl—gave more details on her double loos.
“One is bougie,” she enthused. “It has a shared toilet paper—I put one in the middle for him. I get the bougie toilet and he gets the cold one.”
In addition to her and Daryl’s joint wees—she emphasizes the couple will rarely pass a bowel movement together—Meghan also admitted that she emulated their set-up forher son Riley’s potty training.
“Don’t attack me, internet, but I pooped with him,” she explained. “Everyone hates when I poop near people, but listen, we both pooped at the same time. He was on his little potty and I was over here. I was like, ‘We did it, buddy!’”
As for making Meghan feel ashamed for her double defecations? She’s begging her critics to let it go.
“Sorry you don’t know what love is,” she clapped back at her haters. “Get over it.”

A First to Remember
Set up by their mutual friend Chlo? Grace Moretz, Meghan Trainor and Daryl Sabara went on their first date in July 2016. And it was on that initial outing that the couple kissed for the first time, leaving Meghan instantly smitten.
"He was the best kisser ever," the "All About That Bass" singer raved to Cosmopolitan in 2017. "I know I'm really good at kissing, but I was shocked when he was."
Meghan went on to gush over her boyfriend's bedroom behavior and how confident he made her feel.
"No one expressed how they liked my body out loud in the bedroom until I met Daryl," she said. "He is obsessed with it—every inch."
By date six, Meghan and the Spy Kids alum had exchanged those three little words.
Sex Shop Stop
The Internet erupted into a frenzy when photos of Meghan and Daryl leaving a Los Angeles sex shop were released in 2018. But, years later, Meghan took to TikTok to set the record straight on the viral photographs.
"It was for a friend who was too shy to buy a vibrator and lube so I brought it for her," Meghan sang in a September 2022 TikTok. "It was embarrassing."
She added, "It wasn't for us. I mean we get freaky, freaky but not too much." But Meghan did confess there was one "sad thing" about the paparazzi capturing the couple's NSFW shopping trip.
"My husband decided to wear his beach shoes and the paparazzi got a picture of it," she shared. "Oh no! The world saw. And it was after a workout, we didn't look good."
But Meghan doesn't care about the pictures being out there. Why? "My friend had good sex," she said. "So it was worth it in the end."
Brotherly Love
Meghan's 2022 album Takin' It Back included some of her sexiest songs about her marriage, which she worked on with two surprising collaborators: her brothers Ryan and Justin Trainor.
"It's like, 'Let's just like hookup and have a good night,'" she explained on E! News' Daily Pop at the time. "And I'm like, 'God, I'm writing this with my bros.' But it's just like normal for us. We're just writing songs, telling stories."
Potty Talk
In October 2021, it wasn't Meghan and Daryl's bedroom habits that was making headlines, but rather their bathroom preference when she revealed that they have two toilets right next to each other for when they'd wake up with then-infant son Riley.
"Nobody knows this, but in our bathroom, there was one toilet, and a lot of time in the middle of the night when we're with the baby, we've got to pee at the same time," Meghan explained on Spotify's Why Won't You Date Me? podcast. "So I was like, 'Can we please have two toilets next to each other?'"
She added, "We got two toilets sitting next to each other and we've only pooped together twice. We pee at the same time a lot."
After Meghan's toilet talk made headlines, she addressed all the buzz surrounding their unconventional bathroom set-up, admitting to E! News she "didn't see" the reaction coming.
"The amount of times that we pee at the same time in the middle of the night makes me so grateful that I have two toilets because I don't have to wait for him or he doesn't have to wait for me," she explained. "We're so in sync. It is gross, but I love it."
Meghan also set the record straight on social media.
"We pooped ONCE together and we laughed and said never again…," she tweeted on Oct. 6 2021. "But he will hang out with me if I'm (popping emoji) cuz WE SOULMATES." And she's not here for any s—t talk, adding, "i legit miss him when I'm away from him. And we pee together obvi."
No Touching Rule
While she was expecting their eldest Riley, Meghan revealed during an interview with TODAY Parents that she was not having pregnancy sex.
"Maybe this is weird, but mentally I can't have sex while our son is in between us," she explained in November 2020. "All my pregnancy apps say it feels really good. But all I can think about is that there's a little boy in my belly."
Even after welcoming Riley in February 2021, Meghan and Daryl abstained from having intercourse "for a year," she revealed on her Workin' On It podcast.
"Do not look at me, do not touch me," Meghan said in the April 19 episode. "It took me so long to even consider having sex with him." She added that during that time, though, Daryl was a "saint" and that she still "made sure he was fine."
Family Meeting
While trying to conceive baby No. 2—son Barry, who made his arrival in July 2023—Meghan would keep her immediate family members in the loop about her sex life, "whether they like it or not."
Because she lives with her fam, including her brothers, Meghan explained she would "announce" to them, "'Hey, we're trying for a baby tonight,'" she explained to Access Hollywood. "I'm also obsessed with the science of it, so I'm like, 'Guys, if I'm pregnant, I'm implanting right now!'"
As for her family, they weren't as enthusiastic as Meghan. "They're like, 'Ugh,'" the pop star admitted. "And I'm like, 'Well it's so cool!'"
She added, "They're my best friends. They're gonna hear it whether they like it or not."
Growing Pains
After years of hearing Meghan gush about her sex life with Daryl, her fans were taken aback in April 2023 when she detailed their "painful" encounters on the Workin' On It podcast.
Speaking with her brother Ryan and guest Trisha Paytas, Meghan revealed she sometimes "can't walk" after intercourse with "big boy" Daryl.
"I wish I could make Daryl smaller," Meghan said of her husband's member, going on to share that she has been diagnosed with vaginismus, which is defined by involuntary tensing of the vagina. "My p---y is broken, though," she said. "I have p---y anxiety."
"I thought that every woman walking around was always in pain during and after sex," she continued. "I was like, doc, are you telling me that I could have sex and not feel a single bit of pain?"
Meghan then opened up about the how the couple navigated getting pregnant with their second child, which included the "Made You Look" singer icing her vagina after sex.
"It's to the point where I'm like, 'Is it all in?'" Meghan explained. "And he's like, 'Just the tip. And I'm like, 'I can't do anymore.' I don't know how to fix that."
