Jerry O’Connell’s Personal Life Jerry

O’Connell is married to Rebecca Romijn, who he met on the set of Stand by Me (former model and actress). When Romjin was with her then-husband, John Stamos, they met for the first time at a party in 2004.

People asked O’Connell about their first meeting, and he said,

“I met my wife and her ex-husband, John Stamos, during a wedding celebration.” ‘Wow,’ I recall thinking. This young lady is both attractive and amusing.’ Throughout the party, I spoke with her. My wife recalls that party and our interaction. We got along swimmingly. My wife and I got along swimmingly. The first time we met, we clicked.”

Despite their obvious chemistry, O’Connell revealed that nothing happened between them.

Romijn divorced Stamos in 2005. After their divorce, O’Connell began hanging out with her and soon began dating her. Their story was told by O’Connell.

“I spent the entire day with her and her companion. That night, a group of us went out to supper. It wasn’t even close to being a date. ‘Take her phone number,’ her companion, a guy, suggested to me. ‘I believe she intends to call you.’ It was something I was doing. I acquired her phone number and called her, and we met up in Los Angeles following her Vegas trip. We went for a walk.”

“I’d like to tell you about my wife, and she expresses it better than I do, but we met.” We began to hang out. I came to stay the night… I was never going to leave. That is the reality. We had an instant connection.”

In 2005, the couple confirmed their engagement after months of dating. During their trip to New York, O’Connell proposed to her. He stated,

“I can’t believe she agreed to marry me when I asked her.” I keep expecting Aston Kutcher to appear and inform me that I’m being ‘Punk’d.’

Finally, on July 14, 2007, the pair married in a secret ceremony in Los Angeles in front of 100 family and friends. On their wedding day, the bride wore a Ralph Lauren gown with Neil Lane jewelry.

The couple stated that they were attempting to conceive a few months after their wedding. A spokeswoman later confirmed Romjin’s pregnancy with twin girls. O’Connell mentioned having children in his speech.

“I’m overjoyed that I’m having girls.” ‘I want a boy,’ I know guys are supposed to say. I’d like to play baseball,’ but I believe I’d be better at raising daughters… I’m looking forward to it. They’re going to be a tough bunch of ladies. They won’t have sex with me till I’m dead. If they don’t date boys at all and are only interested in their father, that’s exactly what I’m want.”

Dolly Rebecca Rose and Charlie Tamara Tulip O’Connell were born on December 28, 2008, to the couple. Dolly, their first kid, is named after country artist Dolly Parton, while Charlie, their second daughter, is named after O’Connell’s brother.

The couple has been together for nearly a decade and has yet to face divorce rumors.

Previous Experiences

O’Connell formerly dated Giuliana Rancic, an American-Italian TV personality, from 2003 to 2004. Rancic accused him of cheating with Geri Halliwell, a singer, and songwriter after they split up. According to Rancic,

“Was it possible that I was being double-timed for one of the lesser Spices?”

She went on to say,

“He was as upset as the customer service guy who tells you your baggage didn’t make the trip.”

On Watch What Happens Life, O’Connell finally responded.

“For those who don’t know,” says the narrator. Giuliana Rancic is a celebrity who published a book about herself, and we dated and then didn’t date, and I was in the book.”

“I don’t want to say anything nasty,” says the speaker. She was a lovely young lady. We had a great experience. It had been decades.” (Actually, it’s been a decade.) I mean, I don’t think cell phones existed back then. I believe it was a horse and carriage. ‘It was, you know, a long time ago.’

He was also associated with a number of women, including Sarah Michelle Gellar, Estella Warren, and Debra Pelletier.
