Watch: Jerry O’Connell Poses With Wife Rebecca Romijn’s Ex John Stamos 2 Years After Public Feud
Jerry O’Connellrevealed his favorite part of Rebecca Romijn’s mystique.
The 52-year-old admitted that he’s a fan of how his wife smells, even though her crystal deodorant doesn’t really work.
“This is going to get a little dirty,” he said on the June 30 episode of Thanks Dad with Ego Nwodim. “I kind of like it when I can smell my wife’s body odor. It’s kind of like, yeah, she’s alive, we’re alive, we’re living.”
As for what he likes about her natural smell, O’Connell—who shares twin daughters Charlie and Dolly, 17, with Romijn—said, “It’s like a little kicking and, like, it’s a little funky town.”
After podcast host Ego Nwodim pointed out that his interest in his wife’s smell was a sign of love, the Sliders alum agreed, expressing how grateful he is to be with his spouse.
“I’m shocked I’m with my wife,” he confessed. “For those who don’t know, my wife’s name is Rebecca Romijn, supermodel, like on the cover of magazines. I couldn’t believe my wife chose to be with me, like from a marital standpoint, from an emotional standpoint, from a physical standpoint. And I’m very appreciative.”
Indeed, the Stand by Me star and the X-Men actress, who married in 2007, have been candid about the quirky aspects of their relationship.
In fact, the couple previously shared that they have happily kept their finances separate throughout their 19-year marriage, except for one joint account used for their children’s expenses.
“We keep our money completely separate. I mean there’s like a community pot,” Romijn said in a joint interview with O’Connell on SiriusXM’s Andy Cohen Live in July 2025. “That’s one of the first conversations you have when you decide to enter into a legal agreement together.”

But while they keep their cash in their own accounts, the Punisher alum opened up about what they tackle together.
“We really tag-team with work,” Romijn—who previously hosted a season of The Real Love Boatwith O’Connell—explained to Andy Cohen. “We also decided when our girls were born that one of us would always stay home with our daughters, so no one else is ever going to raise them besides us.”
