Jerry O'Connell and Rebecca Romijn Reveal Why They Have Separate Bank Accounts
During an interview on SiriusXM's Andy Cohen Live on Thursday, July 17, the pair discussed how they have managed their finances since their wedding 18 years earlier. When host Andy Cohen joked that O'Connell's money must be suffering after his presenting stint on The Talk ended last year, Romijn, 52, said she didn't know.
"We keep our money completely separate," she stated. She added: "That's like one of the first conversations you have when you decide to enter into a legal agreement together."
She stated that these payments are for "family expenses" related to their twin kids, who are 16 years old.
"I have to say, we actually throttle how much money we put into that account sometimes depending on who's working more," he said.
"The one who's not working gets a little bit of a break and the one who is working puts in a little more," Romijn told reporters. "And we really tag-team with work."
When their children were born, the Star Trek: Strange New Worlds star stated that she and O'Connell agreed that one parent would always be at home if the other was away for business.
"So, no one else will ever raise them except us," she added.
The Sports Illustrated cover star was still married to actor John Stamos at the time, albeit they had separated.
One month later, Romijn filed for divorce and started dating O'Connell. They got engaged in 2005, married in 2007, and welcomed daughters Dolly Rebecca Rose and Charlie Tamara Tulip the following year.
"We had a couple of dates in Las Vegas, and then I flew home, and I needed a ride home from the airport," Romijn said when guest-hosting The Wendy Williams Show in 2019. "And I called Jerry and he drove me home and basically never left."
They discussed their initial connection again during an episode of the reality dating show The Real Love Boat, which O'Connell and Romijn hosted in 2022.
"When I met Rebecca — I know you hear 'love at first sight' — I just enjoyed her energy so much, immediately," O'Connell said with enthusiasm.
Romijn continued, "We both agreed we wanted to be with each other more than anyone else in the world. "It was pretty cut and dry."
