Jerry O’Connell isn’t afraid of a little perspiration.
The actor candidly shared his appreciation for wife Rebecca Romijn’s body odor in an interview on the “Thanks Dad With Ego Nwodim” podcast on Monday, June 29.
Romijn, 53, came up in the conversation as O’Connell, 52, and Saturday Night Live alum Nwodim, 38, discussed antiperspirants, with the actor sharing that he prefers spray deodorants over roll-ons.
O’Connell then admitted, “I have to tell you, my wife, Rebecca Romijn, rubs crystals under her arms. And I’m here to tell everyone it doesn’t work … the crystals under the arms doesn’t work.”
“Now, I don’t mind the way my wife [smells] … it doesn’t offend me,” he continued. “This is going to get a little dirty … I kind of like it when I can smell my wife’s body odor. It’s kind of like, yeah, she’s alive, we’re alive, we’re living.“
O’Connell added, “It’s like a little kicking and, like, it’s a little funky town.”
O’Connell and Romijn have been married since 2007 and share twin daughters, Charlie and Dolly, 17.
Romijn was previously married to Full House icon John Stamos. The exes began dating in 1994 and tied the knot in 1998. Romijn and Stamos separated in April 2004, and their divorce was finalized a year later.
Jerry O’Connell and Rebecca Romijn have always tried to keep it real when discussing their marriage. Ever since saying “I do” in July 2007, the couple have been an open book about raising their two daughters and keeping their romance alive and well. “I don’t smoke myself, but listen, I live with someone who smokes […]
Earlier in June, Stamos, 62, admitted on Bobbi Althoff’s “The Really Good Podcast” that, “I didn’t want to get divorced.”
“It broke my heart,” the actor said.
“She wanted to [get divorced]. It took me a long time to get over, but I have to say that … she has a nice life, she married another guy, they have kids, they’re doing great,” Stamos added, referring to O’Connell.
Stamos also recalled bumping into O’Connell at a recent party.
Jerry O’Connell is opening up about his love life with Rebecca Romijn in a blazing new confession. O’Connell, 52, joined Bill Maher on the Monday, March 16, episode of the comedian’s “Club Random” podcast and had one simple request for his host, who has a penchant for smoking marijuana in the recording studio. “I want […]
“I met him recently. It was very interesting. He was very sweet. He was very nice,” he shared. “We were at a party together and he came over and he was super nice. He couldn’t have been sweeter. He was very, very funny and very charming.”
O’Connell also dished on their conversation during an appearance on SiriusXM’s Andy Cohen Live on June 23.
“John Stamos was at this party and I was like, ‘I got to make a beeline for him. I gotta just like, I got to go extend my hand,’” O’Connell explained. “So I went, I saw him. His beautiful new wife was there. They have a kid. I put my hand out.”
“I hugged him and I said, ‘Why didn’t you tell me about the shopping addiction?’ I’m kidding,” O’Connell joked about Romijn. “That was a light-hearted joke I was trying to come up with.”
“I made some self-deprecating jokes. I made sure his new wife was there. You want everyone to feel included,” O’Connell continued, referring to Stamo’s wife, Caitlin McHugh, with whom Stamos shares son Billy, 8. “I whispered to him when I hugged him, ‘She says you’re bigger than me.’ … I whispered, ‘She says Greeks are better lovers.’”
