Rebecca Romijn's Jeffrey Epstein link exposed by husband Jerry O'Connell
Jerry O'Connell made a surprising revelation during a comedy show in the Hamptons as he casually announced that his wife, Rebecca Romijn, once visited Jeffrey Epstein's private island. O'Connell, 51, clarified that the former supermodel's visit to the infamous island, owned by the disgraced financier, was strictly professional. The moment came during a performance with comedian Seth Herzog at an event in Montauk – Epstein's island came up as part of a stand-up act. "Everyone went," Herzog joked during his set, as he referenced the wide-ranging rumors about Epstein's circle, according to Page Six. "Let's make like the beginning of the universe: have a Big Bang. These are the lines Hawking is working with." Stephen Hawking, the renowned physicist, visited Epstein's private island in 2006 as part of a science conference in St. Thomas. He was never accused of any wrongdoing. O'Connell then chimed in with his own surprise confession about Romijn, 52. "Actually, my wife told me she went to Epstein Island. There was a modeling shoot there. My wife was modeling at the time," the actor said, as he caught the crowd off guard. He quickly confirmed the context of the visit and emphasized it was purely for her work. "I'm so sorry, everyone. I know this is a comedy show, but that's the end of that story. There was no massaging of feet." "Anyone else want to confess?" Herzog quipped. His confession about his wife on Epstein's island comes after the couple recently made a surprise admission about their unconventional approach to their 18-year marriage. O'Connell and Romijn have their own nontraditional rules regarding how they manage their finances. "We keep our money completely separate," Romijn confessed during an interview with Andy Cohen on Sirius XM. "There's a community pot" for family expenses, she explained, also sharing that the couple contribute to the account "quarterly." O'Connell chimed in and said, "We actually throttle how much money we put into that account." "Depending on who's working more… The one who's not working gets a little bit of a break, and the one who is working puts in a little more," Romijn added. "And we really tag-team with work." O'Connell and Romijn tied the knot in 2007, two years after she divorced "Full House" star John Stamos. Romijn and Stamos were married from 1998 until 2005.

Jerry O'Connell shockingly reveals his wife Rebecca Romijn went to Epstein Island
Jerry O'Connell made a shocking revelation about how his wife once went to Jeffrey Epstein 's island during his comedy show. During his comedy set, the 51–year–old actor recalled how his now–wife, model Rebecca Romijn, once visited the private island in the U.S. Virgin Islands for modeling work. He explained that her visit to the infamous island owned by the disgraced financier was not for anything untoward. He did a stand–up comedy set with Seth Herzog at Cynthia Rowley's store in Montauk this past weekend and shared the Femme Fatale star's story about her trip to the private island in the U.S. Virgin Islands, per Page Six. He said that Romijn did not meet Epstein and the former model was just there for a photoshoot — which occurred sometime between Epstein purchasing the private island in 1998 and his death in 2019. The incident seemingly occurred prior to the Hollywood couple, who recently revealed why still they have separate bank accounts after 18 years of marriage, getting together and having been married for nearly two decades. 'Actually, my wife told me she went to Epstein Island. There was a modeling shoot there. My wife was modeling at the time.' O'Connell said: 'I'm so sorry, everyone. I know this is a comedy show, but that's the end of that story. There was no massaging of feet.' While Herzog was doing a comedic bit on the disgraced billionaire and his island, he also made jokes about the late cosmologist Stephen Hawking even going there — even though he was never accused of any sexual misconduct. Epstein was an American financier and convicted sex offender who died in prison waiting for his sex trafficking trial. He owned a small private island called Little Saint James in the United States Virgin Islands, southeast of Saint Thomas. The private island is the site of a number of alleged crimes, notorious and colloquially known as Pedophile Island due to allegations of sex trafficking and abuse. Accusers claimed that the billionaire's private island was the center of an international sex trafficking ring and the base for his criminal enterprise. A number of prominent names have been mentioned in court documents related to Epstein with the files being unsealed and released in stages since his death in 2019. Many high-profile figures named in newly released US court documents detailing the connections of the sex offender and reveal the list of people who were known to have visited the infamous island, whether or not they were involved in the crimes or not. O'Connell name-dropping his wife having been to the island for work unrelated to Epstein comes shortly after they revealed their secret to the success of their decades-long marriage. The power couple appeared on Sirius XM's Andy Cohen Live on Thursday as Romijn shockingly explained: 'We keep our money completely separate.' She did note that the longtime couple do share a 'community pot' for family expenses. Romijn said: 'That's like one of the first conversations you have when you decide to enter into a legal agreement together.' The two — who share 16–year–old twin daughters Dolly Rebecca Rose and Charlie Tamara Tulip — explained that they both contribute to this pot 'quarterly.'

Rebecca Romijn, Jerry O'Connell admit unconventional approach to 18-year marriage
When it comes to Hollywood marriages, Jerry O'Connell and Rebecca Romijn have their own nontraditional rules. After 18 years of marriage, the longtime couple made a surprise admission about how they manage their finances. "We keep our money completely separate," Romijn, 52, confessed during an interview with Andy Cohen on Sirius XM. "There's a community pot," she said, for family expenses, also sharing that the couple contribute to the account "quarterly." O'Connell chimed in and said, "We actually throttle how much money we put into that account." "Depending on who's working more… The one who's not working gets a little bit of a break, and the one who is working puts in a little more," Romijn added. "And we really tag-team with work." After the birth of their twin daughters, the couple made the conscious decision that one of them would always stay home with their children. "No one else is ever going to raise them besides us," she said. Romijn and O'Connell welcomed Charlie and Dolly, now 16, in 2008. The conversation kicked off when Cohen joked that O'Connell's wallet likely took a hit after his hosting gig on CBS' "The Talk" wrapped up last year. O'Connell and Romijn tied the knot in 2007, two years after she divorced "Full House" star John Stamos. Romijn and Stamos were married from 1998 until 2005. The Hollywood couple's comments come after Stamos previously described the former Victoria's Secret model in a negative way while discussing their divorce. In his memoir "If You Would Have Told Me," Stamos said he felt like Romijn was the "Devil" and "evil" when their marriage was falling apart and he "hated" her at the time. He said he later realized he was "as much to blame" as her at the end of their marriage. "My wife's ex-husband recently wrote a biography and it referred to my wife in a negative manner… a lot of people have asked me about that in the press," O'Connell said in 2023. "And it would be easy for me to say like, 'Screw you, how dare you ask me that,' but really it would be bringing attention to a situation that I don't want to feed into." He added, "There's children involved. Teenage children who read everything on the internet. So you don't want to like feed that fire."
