Jerry O'Connell and Rebecca Romijn keep their money separate
The couple - who have been married since 2007 and have twin daughters Dolly and Charlie together - lifted the lid on their finances during a joint appearance on SiriusXM's Andy Cohen show, revealing they keep the money they earn but pay into a "community pot" for parenting expenses.
Host Cohen turned the conversation towards money by describing Rebecca as the breadwinner in the household since Jerry's run co-hosting The Talk TV show ended last year, and the actress, 52, said: "We keep our money completely separate ... There's, like, a community pot."
The X-Men star went on to explain the couple made the decision to keep their money separate right at the start of their marriage, saying: "That's like one of the first conversations you have when you decide to enter into a legal agreement together."
Jerry also pointed out how much money they put into their "community pot" varies and depends on how much work is coming in.
He said: "I have to say, we actually throttle how much money we put into that account sometimes," and his wife added: "The one who's not working gets a little bit of a break and the one who is working puts in a little more. And we really tag-team with work."
Rebecca revealed the couple's work also depends on childcare because they promised to always make sure one of them was home to care for their daughters, who are now 17 years old.
She said: "We also decided when our girls were born that one of us would always stay home with our daughters. So, no one else was ever going to raise them besides the parents."
Jerry previously admitted he hopes his girls follow him into showbusiness after he started his career at the age of 11 with a role in Stand By Me.
He told UsWeekly: "I have one daughter who's auditioning for the school musical. They're doing Urinetown, so we went to [dinner] last night and we went over her lines in the diner, so that was really funny. I'm going to have a couple nepo babies!
"I'm throwing it out there. It's the family business!"

Andy Cohen supports Jax Taylor's decision to quit The Valley
Andy Cohen has welcomed Jax Taylor's decision to quit The Valley. The 46-year-old star recently announced that he was walking away from the reality TV series in order to focus on his sobriety, and Andy has now voiced his support for Jax's decision. Andy, 57, told People: "I think it's a good decision. I think he needs to work out s*** without cameras around." The TV host believes Jax is "very committed" to his sobriety journey. Andy actually spoke to Jax off-camera about how to rebuild his life and his relationship with his estranged wife, Brittany Cartwright. Andy said: "This comes up at the reunion — I have kind of a serious conversation with him about his need for control and his anger issues, and what it's going to take to get to a better place with Brittany and in the world. And I hope he takes the time to lean into this, away from the cameras." Jax recently confirmed that he was quitting The Valley. The reality star confirmed he won't be part of the third season of the Bravo show following an "incredibly challenging" year, which saw him split from Brittany - the mother of his four-year-old son Cruz - and subsequently check into rehab for mental health and addiction treatment. Jax told Us Weekly: "After an incredibly challenging year and many honest conversations with my team and producers, I'll be stepping away from the next season of The Valley. "Right now, my focus needs to be on my sobriety, my mental health, and co-parenting. Taking this time is necessary for me to become the best version of myself — especially for our son, Cruz." Jax previously admitted that he's been battling a cocaine addiction for more than 20 years. He said on the Hot Mic podcast: "I have substance issues - primarily with cocaine. It's hard to say out loud. I've been dealing with this on and off since I was 23 and now I'm 45. "There was times where I would stop doing it but then there were times where I'd go heavy on it. "I just want to let people know this is a really, really tough disease and it's a really tough sickness."

Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham fuel Fleetwood Mac reunion speculation
Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham have fuelled speculation of a Fleetwood Mac reunion. The former couple, who have not been on good terms since guitarist Lindsey was axed from the group once again in 2018 in acrimonious circumstances, unexpectedly shared a pair of matching Instagram posts on Thursday (17.07.25). Stevie shared a handwritten line from the 1973 Buckingham Nicks song Frozen Love which read: 'And if you go forward…' Lindsey then shared a near-identical post with the next line: 'I'll meet you there." And that's not all because bandmate Mick Fleetwood went on to share a video of himself listening to the track, which was shared onto the group's Instagram page too. His post was captioned: "Magic then, magic now." The 78-year-old drummer previously admitted he is keen for Stevie and Lindsey to put their differences aside. Mick - who co-founded the iconic rock band in the 1960s - told Us Weekly: "I always have a fantasy that [Stevie] and Lindsay would pal up a bit more and just say everything's OK for them both. But we've had such an incredible career." Mick planned to reunite the band before Christine McVie passed away in November 2022, aged 79. The veteran musician has "struggled" to find a direction since Christine's passing - but he remains hopeful of working with another band in 2026. Mick shared: "I miss playing as much as we used to. I'm hoping next year, one way or another, some band somewhere will say, come and play with drums or something. "So I always love to do whatever I can do working on an album that next year we may tour with it. I don't know, [but] not Fleetwood Mac." Meanwhile, Mick previously admitted that he would love for their to be "a healing" between Stevie and Lindsey. The musician hopes that they can mend their relationship, even if it doesn't lead to a Fleetwood Mac reunion. Mick told MOJO: "It's no secret, it's no tittle-tattle that there is a brick wall there emotionally. "Stevie's able to speak clearly about how she feels and doesn't feel, as does Lindsey. But I'll say, personally, I would love to see a healing between them - and that doesn't have to take the shape of a tour, necessarily."
