Home with side-by-side toilet has buyers kicking up a stink - realestate.com.au
Meghan Trainor raised plenty of eyebrows when she revealed her home with husband Daryl Sabara has a rather unusual feature: two toilets in the bathroom located directly next to each other.
The 'All About That Bass' singer made the revelation on an episode of Nicole Byer's podcast Why Won't You Date Me? in 2021, claiming the couple 'pee at the same time a lot.'
'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,' she said at the time.
While certainly a unique way to bond, Trainor's bathroom habits aren't, perhaps, that unusual if a recent sale listing in Burns, Oregon is anything to go by.
The log cabin-style home comes with two side-by-side toilets, each with their own loo roll.

Bathroom in the kitchen a shock surprise
Aus's worst neighbours exposed
This unique toilet set up is taking couple time to the next level.
The side-by-side toiles overlook matching side-by-side sinks.
It is like a public bathroom stall, but taken one step further, as no dividing wall separates the toilets from each other.
In lieu of traditional tiles, the floor is covered in plush salmon carpet – the shade presumably chosen to hide a world of sins.
The toilets look onto a matching pair of his-and-hers sinks, placed below a large mirror.
Meanwhile, Meghan Trainor his n' hers toilets are … an interesting choice. Picture: Instagram
Unsurprisingly, the bathroom has already attracted attention on social media, with users torn over the unusual layout.
'I can't even look my husband in the eye after he comes out of a regular bathroom,' one person commented on reddit.
Another person wrote: 'It's a choice. Not one I'd make, but some couples have 'comfort' levels way beyond mine'.
'Having two toilets side-by-side does nothing. Literally NO ONE wants to to sh*t right next to someone else. The point of having separate bowls is in case two people need to go at the same time, or don't want to share a toilet area for personal hygiene reasons. This is worse than a public bathroom, which at least has stalls,' a third wrote.
The house is on the market for $US385,000 ($594,000) following a recent price cut. Unusual bathrooms strike chord with buyers and tenants
While side-by-side toilets may seem a little out there, it's not the strangest bathroom setting to have caught national – and sometimes global – attention.
In 2020, an old terrace at Port Melbourne tested how far renters would go for an inner city lifestyle, with the kitchen and bathroom sharing a space.
Advertised at $400 a week, tenants could live at the two-bedroom property, where the only shower is right beside the stove and the toilet was found outside in the paved courtyard.
Yes! That's a bathroom is in the kitchen.
It must have been the year for unusual bathroom listings with a separate inner Sydney studio offering tenants a room with a different kind of view.
The apartment on Bourke St appeared to seamlessly blends the shower and toilet with the kitchen.
Recently renovated, the studio had done away with bathroom walls and instead opens the space up with glass.
While the glass walls allowed light to flow into the small home, it also meant the toilet could be admired from the comfort of the bed.
This Surry Hills home has a room with a different kind of view.
Meanwhile, an Aussie share house listing sent shudders over what renters may be tolerating in a tight market only last year.
The rental listed on a share house group social media site, claimed: 'rent includes furnished private room and bathroom'. However, the ad raised some serious questions when the only bathroom pictured was a portaloo.
The listing also stated that there was no access to the kitchen.
Social media was having none of it with one of the images of an outdoor portaloo seeing the listing flagged on popular Reddit forum sh*trentals.
There were no other images of bathrooms except the portaloo set up.
It includes a shower – over the toilet in the portaloo.
'Private bathroom or portaloo? Came across this listing with a private bathroom … and photos of a portaloo,' a Redditor said.
'Also, photos of a kitchen that you don't have access to! Preying on the international student community in the area undoubtedly.'

Channel 9 reporter Hannah Sinclair weds partner in lavish Bali wedding
Don't miss out on the headlines from Entertainment. Followed categories will be added to My News. Nine reporter Hannah Sinclair has married her longtime partner in a lavish Bali wedding. The network's European correspondent exchanged vows with Mitch Burke on a clifftop with panoramic ocean views on Friday, with guests sharing photos of the celebrations on social media. Sinclair, who moved to London from Sydney late last year, wore an elegant spaghetti strap silk gown, and opted for a broadbrimmed hat over a traditional veil. Nine reporter Hannah Sinclair married her partner Mitch Burke in Bali. The couple said 'I do' at a stunning venue on a cliff. Burke, for his part, wore a white tuxedo jacket with a black bow tie. The aisle, which Sinclair walked down with her mother, was set atop a pool of water and lined with bouquets of flowers. The aisle was adorned with flowers. The couple said 'I do' under an archway of flowers with the sweeping ocean view in the background. Changing into a bubble hem mini dress for the reception, Sinclair's guests shared videos of the fairy-light covered dance floor and fireworks display. Among guests included Sinclair's Nine colleagues Gabrielle Boyle, Lizzie Pearl, Ashley Carter and Tim Davies. An outfit change for the reception. The pair danced the night away. It comes after Sinclair held her hen's party in Canggu the night before her wedding day, sharing wild photos and videos as she danced the night away with a group of friends who were all dressed in pink. 'I have the best family and friends in the world,' Sinclair wrote. Sinclair's hen's party was held the night before the wedding. The journalist, who started her career with Southern Cross Austereo in Tasmania, first joined Nine's Perth bureau in 2016, before moving to Sydney two years later. Sinclair took up a role with A Current Affair in 2021, and was later promoted to her current correspondent gig which she started in September last year. Hannah is the European correspondent for Nine. Sharing the news on Instagram at the time, Sinclair said working in London was her 'dream job'. ''She was unstoppable, not because she did not have failures or doubts, but because she continued on despite them.' This quote really resonates with me as I reflect on how far I've come in my 10 year career as a journalist,' she wrote. 'Today's my last day for a white with the amazing team at (A Current Affair). Next week I start my dream job in London as Europe Correspondent for Nine, and boy, am I excited.' Originally published as Channel 9 reporter Hannah Sinclair weds partner in lavish Bali wedding

Hailey Bieber ditches her wedding ring as Justin Bieber divorce rumours loom
Don't miss out on the headlines from Hook Ups & Break Ups. Followed categories will be added to My News. Hailey Bieber fuelled rumours that she and husband Justin Bieber are headed for divorce after she was spotted without her wedding ring while out and about in New York City. The model was photographed going ring-less on Thursday as she stepped out on two separate occasions — the first being for breakfast at The Commerce Inn in the West Village. Photos obtained by Page Six reveal she wore a khaki trench coat and sunglasses for the outing, but made sure to leave her $US500,000 jewellery piece at home. Hailey Bieber and Justin Bieber have sparked rumours they're headed for a split. Picture: MEGA/GC Images Hailey, 28, was later seen that evening with models Camila Morrone and Suki Waterhouse as they headed for a girls' night out at Chez Fifi on the Upper East Side. For her second look, the billionaire babe looked chic in a black leather coat and matching high-neck top with wide-leg jeans. A rep for Hailey did not immediately respond to Page Six's request for comment. Divorce rumours have followed the couple for some time. However, the speculation appeared to be reignited earlier this year after Hailey unfollowed Justin, 31, on Instagram in March. Hailey and Justin have been engulfed by rumours of trouble in paradise. Hailey and Justin welcomed a son, Jack, last year. The Rhode Skin founder claimed the unfollowing happened because of a glitch that took place when Justin deactivated and reactivated his account. Hailey addressed the incessant divorce speculation that has plagued the famous pair since their 2018 wedding in her Vogue interview last month, calling out 'bitches' who won't 'move on.' 'Well, I thought seven years in it would've [died down] already, and it hasn't,' she said. 'You would think after having a child, people would maybe move on, chill out a little bit, but no,' the first-time mom, who welcomed son Jack Blues with Justin last August, added. 'So I guess these bitches are going to be mad.' The couple also continues to face added scrutiny as many have expressed their concern for the 'Beauty and a Beat' singer's wellbeing after he was seen acting erratically and recreationally smoking marijuana on several occasions. In April, a source confirmed to Page Six that Justin is 'going through a hard time' and that Hailey was worried for him. 'Hailey is doing her best to be there for him, but there's only so much she can do,' the source said at the time. 'Hailey loves Justin with all her heart, but that doesn't necessarily mean she's happy.'

Royals mark Prince William's birthday by sharing photo
King Charles and Queen Camilla have marked Prince William's birthday by sharing a photo of the royal on the Royal Family's Instagram and X profiles. The monarch, 76, and wife Camilla, 77, posted the snap of the future king kneeling in a field on Saturday as William turned 43, with the image also shared earlier this year during his visit to farmland owned by the Duchy of Cornwall in Bath. Charles and Camilla captioned the snap, which showed William smiling as he sat on a rock wall: "Happy Birthday to The Prince of Wales!" The caption was followed by a balloon and confetti emoji to mark the celebration. William has also marked his 43rd birthday with a furry celebration - posing for a new photograph alongside four black cocker spaniel puppies. "It's a very happy birthday," he said in a caption alongside a snap of him with his pets posted on his and wife Catherine's Instagram page. He added: "Love C, G, C, L, Orla and the puppies." The photograph, taken by Catherine, Princess of Wales, 43, earlier this month at Windsor, was shared on the Prince and Princess of Wales' official social media accounts on Friday morning. It showed the Prince of Wales surrounded by the playful pups, who were revealed last month by The Sun to be the offspring of the family's pet spaniel Orla. The photo was posted with a caption featuring the initials of the couple's children - Prince George, 10, Princess Charlotte, nine, and Prince Louis, six - along with Orla. The new additions to the royal household were born earlier this year, although their names - and the identity of their father - have not yet been revealed. According to The Sun, Orla, who joined the family in 2020, was originally a gift from Catherine's brother James Middleton, 37, a dog breeder who also bred their late dog Lupo and Orla's parents. A source told The Sun at the time: "Mother and babies are doing well." The couple's children are said to have quickly bonded with the puppies. Last year, the Royal Family marked William's birthday by posting a childhood photo of the royal in his father's arms. Catherine also shared a personal image at the time showing William enjoying time on a beach with their children. The birthday celebration comes amid Catherine's ongoing return to public life following her cancer diagnosis. She recently pulled out of her scheduled appearance at Royal Ascot, with Kensington Palace confirming her recovery remains the priority.
