During an appearance on SiriusXM's Andy Cohen Live on Thursday, July 17, the couple opened up about how they have managed their finances since getting married 18 years ago. When host Andy Cohen joked that O'Connell's finances must be hurting after his hosting gig on The Talk ended last year, Romijn, 52, revealed that she wouldn't know. 'We keep our money completely separate,' she said, later noting: 'That's like one of the first conversations you have when you decide to enter into a legal agreement together.' Romijn explained that they do have one joint account, which they call 'a community pot,' that they each contribute to quarterly. These funds are for 'family expenses' relating to their 16-year-old twin daughters, she said. 'I have to say, we actually throttle how much money we put into that account sometimes depending on who's working more,' O'Connell shared. '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.' When their children were born, the Star Trek: Strange New Worlds star said she and O'Connell decided that one parent would always be home if the other was away for work. 'So, no one else is ever going to raise them besides us,' she continued.

O'Connell and Romijn have been together for more than two decades after meeting at the Maxim Hot 100 bash in Las Vegas in 2004. The Sports Illustrated cover star was still married to actor John Stamos at the time, although the two were separated. One month later, Romijn officially filed for divorce and began dating O'Connell. They got engaged in 2005 and tied the knot in 2007, going on to welcome daughters Dolly Rebecca Rose and Charlie Tamara Tulip the following year. "We had a couple dates in Las Vegas and then I flew home and I needed a ride home from the airport," Romijn recalled while guest-hosting The Wendy Williams Show in 2019. "And I called Jerry and he drove me home and basically never left." They reflected on their instant connection again in an episode of the reality dating show, The Real Love Boat, which O'Connell and Romijn hosted in 2022. "When I met Rebecca — I know you hear 'love at first sight' — I just enjoyed her energy so much, immediately," O'Connell gushed. Romijn added, "We both decided we wanted to be with each other more than anybody else in the whole world. It was pretty cut and dried." Read the original article on People

Urgent warning as bank customers risk losing more than £500 after ‘falling into Zombie account trap'
BRITS are warned as £297B sits in dead-end bank accounts - and it's costing you hundreds a year. Brits are flushing away over £500 a year by leaving their cash rotting in low-interest 'zombie' bank accounts, experts have warned. 2 2 A staggering £297billion is sat in current accounts that pay zero interest – meaning millions are missing out on easy money. The research, by Opinium for Hargreaves Lansdown, found 56% of savers are parking their hard-earned money in accounts that give them absolutely nothing back – a 20% rise from last year. And it's younger savers who are feeling the pinch the most, with 67% of 18–34-year-olds admitting to stashing savings in current accounts – rather than moving it to proper savings pots. Even higher-rate taxpayers (81%) and investors (83%) are falling into the trap. So why are we doing it? Almost half (46%) said they want quick access to their money for emergencies, while 15% said they couldn't be bothered to move it, 14% preferred having everything in one place and 13% admitted they just hadn't got around to switching. But Sarah Coles, personal finance boss at Hargreaves Lansdown, says savers are 'paying a big price for a misguided sense of comfort'. She warns of two big dangers with the current account habit – the first being overspending. 'You don't have to transfer cash from another account in order to spend it, you just spend as normal – and find yourself eating away at your savings,' she said. One in five admitted they've burned through savings without even realising. Easy Income Boosters Money Making Tips You Need to Know The second danger is inflation. Coles explains: 'With inflation around 3.5%, a household holding £3,365 in a zero-interest account would lose £114 in spending power in just one year.' Those sitting on £10,180 would lose £344 annually – and over five years, £3,365 could shrink by £532. Coles says Brits could be earning 4.5% or more interest by switching to an online savings platform. 'These sites let you track everything in one place – and snap up the best rates without drowning in paperwork,' she added. How do I find the best savings rates? WITH your current savings rates in mind, don't waste time looking at individual banking sites to compare rates - it'll take you an eternity. Research price comparison websites such as and MoneySupermarket. These will help you save you time and show you the best rates available. They also let you tailor your searches to an account type that suits you. As a benchmark, you'll want to consider any account that currently pays more interest than the current level of inflation - 2%. It's always wise to have some money stashed inside an easy-access savings account to ensure you have quick access to cash to deal with any emergencies like a boiler repair, for example. If you're saving for a long-term goal, then consider locking some of your savings inside a fixed bond, as these usually come with the highest savings rates. Moral of the story? Ditch the dead accounts – and make your money work for you. Time to ditch zombie savings accounts You might want to keep money in a current account paying no interest because you need to use it for daily expenses. But, if you've got cash stashed away in a savings account paying little to no interest, it pays to switch to a different one. The latest data from Moneyfactscompare shows some savings accounts are paying as little as 0.49% interest on minimum £1 deposits. However, there are a range of bank accounts offering rates over 5%, including across easy access savings accounts and Cash ISAs. According to Moneyfactscompare, Chip's Easy Access Saver is offering the highest rate across easy access savings accounts, then Atom Bank's Instant Saver Reward - with rates of 4.76% and 4.75%, respectively. Savers can also get rates of up to 5.71% on easy access Cash ISAs, according to the price comparison website. Make sure you're picking the best savings account for your needs though. ISAs are a great way to save money as any interest earned is tax -free, which is not the case for easy access savings accounts. A lot of savings accounts set a limit on the amount of withdrawals you can make per year before incurring a fee too. .
