So, you want to know how Jerry O'Connell and Rebecca Romijn keep their marriage thriving while working side by side? The secret, according to Jerry, might just involve a little humor. “Have twins, and as they get older and become more diabolical, you can’t get divorced!” the 45-year-old joked exclusively to Closer Weekly during Hallmark’s TCA Winter Press Tour gala on February 9 in Pasadena, California. Now, this might sound like a lighthearted quip, but there’s a deeper truth behind it.
Rebecca, 46, chimed in with her take on their parenting strategy, referencing their 10-year-old twin girls, Charlie and Dolly. “Because then one of you will be stuck with them,” she quipped. “So you decide to stay together so neither of you ends up with them alone!” While it’s all in good fun, there’s something undeniably real about the dynamic they’ve created.
Life with Twins: The Ultimate Relationship Bond
Now, let’s cut through the laughter for a moment. Jerry and Rebecca, who’ve been married for 11 years, admit they have a blast together. They love spending time with their kids and their dogs, creating a home environment filled with joy and laughter. “They just bring everyone so much joy,” Jerry said, who recently cohosted the 2019 American Rescue Dog Show on Hallmark Channel alongside Rebecca. It’s clear that family is at the center of their lives.

Cellphones: The Great Debate in the O'Connell-Romijn Household
Despite all the happiness their daughters bring, Rebecca has firm opinions about certain parenting decisions. When it comes to cellphones, she’s drawing the line. “That’s not happening for as long as I can possibly go,” she told Us Weekly. “I’ve been told that grades suffer when kids get phones, so they’ll be 20 before I get them one! My kids are nagging me about it because a lot of their friends already have them … [Those parents] are ruining it for the rest of us.” It’s a stance that reflects her desire to protect her kids’ childhood and focus on family time.
Why Divorce Isn’t an Option
Rebecca and Jerry live in what they describe as a “crazy” household, and it’s precisely this chaos that keeps them together. “Our house is so crazy that we just don’t want to get divorced right now because neither one of us wants to end up with our kids and our dogs,” Jerry joked to Closer Weekly. “We realize it’s a team effort and there’s no way we can do it on our own right now!” It’s this sense of partnership and teamwork that makes their marriage work, even amidst the whirlwind of raising twins and managing careers.
