You know that feeling when someone has it all figured out? Well, Jerry O'Connell, the charming actor married to the stunning Rebecca Romijn, recently shared his thoughts on what makes a marriage work in the long haul. And let me tell you, it’s not just about good looks and chemistry—it’s so much more. In a candid interview with Closer Weekly, Jerry opened up about the secret ingredient that keeps their love strong after all these years.
The Secret Sauce to Staying Together
Now, you might think the answer is something super complicated, like cosmic alignment or a perfect compatibility score. But according to Jerry, the secret is refreshingly simple, with a dash of humor thrown in for good measure. During the interview, he joked, “The secret to a long-lasting marriage is trying not to have kids during the quarantine.” Of course, he was just being playful. When pressed further, he got serious, saying, “No, I’m kidding. The real secret is having kids before quarantine hits. Then, when you're stuck at home with them, you look at your spouse and realize, ‘There’s no way I could survive this without you. I love you more than ever.’”
Thirteen Years of Love and Laughter
Jerry and Rebecca, the stars of X-Men fame, have been walking this journey together since they tied the knot back in July 2007. To celebrate their 13th anniversary last month, Jerry decided to do something extra special. He purchased a "cool piece" of jewelry from Rebecca's accessories line, Charlie Dolly, named after their 11-year-old twin daughters, Dolly and Charlie. The necklace, crafted with intricate detail, features a blue gemstone shaped into a small animal—a thoughtful nod to their shared love for creativity and family.

And here's the kicker: Jerry wasn't just buying any old gift. He wanted something meaningful, something that would remind Rebecca of their bond every day. “It’s a little necklace. It’s really fine jewelry, and they use this little laser to cut little animals into the jewel. It wasn’t a diamond, it was a blue gemstone,” he explained with pride. Fast forward almost a month later, and guess what? Rebecca hasn’t taken it off once. Jerry couldn’t help but grin as he quipped, “In the words of Charlie Sheen, ‘winning!’”
Date Nights Under Quarantine
Even in the midst of a global pandemic, Jerry and Rebecca haven't let social distancing get in the way of keeping their romance alive. Recently, they embarked on an adventurous RV trip with their kids, proving that family time can still feel like a vacation. Sure, it wasn’t exactly a quiet getaway—Jerry admitted the girls were “non-stop all in our business” the entire ride—but hey, sometimes the chaos is part of the charm. Despite the constant chatter, Jerry and Rebecca managed to enjoy each other’s company, finding joy in the little moments along the way.
