On Thursday, July 17, the pair talked about how they have handled their money since getting married 18 years ago on SiriusXM's Andy Cohen Live. When Andy Cohen quipped that O'Connell's money must be tight since he stopped hosting The Talk last year, Romijn, 52, said she didn't know.
She noted, "We keep our money completely separate." Later, she said, "That's like one of the first things you talk about when you decide to make a legal agreement together."
She added that these payments are for "family expenses" for their 16-year-old twin children.
O'Connell said, "I have to say that we sometimes limit how much money we put into that account based on who is working more."
Romijn said, "The person who isn't working gets a little bit of a break, and the person who is working puts in a little more." "And we really work together."
When their kids were born, the Star Trek: Strange New Worlds star revealed that she and O'Connell agreed that one parent would always be home if the other had to go to work.
"So, no one else will ever raise them but us," she said next.
The Sports Illustrated cover girl was still married to actor John Stamos, even though they were living apart at the time.
Romijn officially filed for divorce a month later and started dating O'Connell. They got engaged in 2005 and married in 2007. The next year, they had two daughters, Dolly Rebecca Rose and Charlie Tamara Tulip.
Romijn said on The Wendy Williams Show in 2019, "We went on a few dates in Las Vegas, and then I flew home and needed a ride home from the airport." "And I called Jerry, and he drove me home and never really left."
O'Connell and Romijn hosted the reality dating show The Real Love Boat in 2022. In one episode, they talked about how they felt an instant affinity.
O'Connell said, "When I met Rebecca, I know you hear 'love at first sight,' but I just loved her energy right away."
Romijn said, "We both made the choice that we wanted to be with each other more than anyone else in the world." It was quite clear.
