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."

Jerry O'Connell and Rebecca Romijn make surprising marriage confession after 18 years together
Jerry O'Connell and Rebecca Romijn are getting candid about their finances. The couple revealed that they don't share their financial information with each other even after 18 years of marriage. 'We keep our money completely separate,' Romijn said on Thursday's episode of Sirius XM's 'Andy Cohen Live.' Though, she noted that they do have a 'community pot' for family expenses. 'That's like one of the first conversations you have when you decide to enter into a legal agreement together,' the 'Star Trek: Strange New Worlds' star, 52, added. The couple, who share twin daughters Dolly Rebecca Rose and Charlie Tamara Tulip, both 16, went on to share that they contribute to their family account 'quarterly.' 'I have to say, we actually throttle how much money we put into that account sometimes,' O'Connell, 51, shared. While Romijn clarified that the amounts depend '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.' Romijn also divulged how they decided after the birth of their girls that 'one of us would always stay home with our daughters' while the other works. 'So, no one else is ever going to raise them besides us,' she continued. The conversation came about as Cohen joked that O'Connell's pockets must have taken a hit after his hosting gig on CBS' 'The Talk' ended last year. O'Connell, who wed Romijn in 2007, joined the daytime talk show as a permanent host in 2021 following Sharon Osbourne's exit after several guest co-host appearances. The series concluded after a 15-season run on Dec. 20, 2024. Solve the daily Crossword

Methodology: GOBankingRates surveyed annual living expenses for a family of four in all 50 states, using the 2023 Consumer Expenditure Survey (latest available) data for a married couple with children (oldest child 6-17) from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The itemized costs of living evaluated were housing, groceries, utilities, healthcare and transportation, collectively termed 'necessities.' Based on each state's respective cost-of-living index for each category, sourced from the Missouri Economic Research and Information Center's 2024 Q3 Cost of Living Data Series, the study calculated the annual cost of each necessity and summed them up to find total annual expenditure on necessities. Using the 50-30-20 budget rule, which allocates 50% of income for necessities, the study doubled the total annual expenditure on necessities in order to determine the 'living wage' for a family of four in each state. 'Living wage' is defined as the income required to be able to cover 50% necessities, 30% discretionary/luxury spending and 20% for savings. All data was collected on and is up to date as of Dec. 11, 2024.
