How it started! Jerry O’Connell opened up about the early days of his romance with wife Rebecca Romijn — and joked that he had a very narrow window to make his move.“The only reason I am with Rebecca Romijn is because when I met Rebecca when I was 30, literally, I was like Eminem in 8 Mile,” the Talk cohost, 48, exclusively told Us Weekly on Wednesday, October 19, while promoting his new show, The Real Love Boat. “I had one shot,” he said, referencing Eminem’s hit song “Lose Yourself,” adding, “That was it.”The Scream 2 star noted that his wife, 49, says that he “sold” himself to her. “I’m still processing that one,” he quipped. “I did a song and dance.

I had a routine.”The Eastwick alum then chimed in to contradict her husband’s story. “No, Jerry was utterly charming, as you can imagine,” she recalled to Us. “And hilarious, and of course I fell for that immediately.”O’Connell and the former model tied the knot in 2007, two years after getting engaged.

In February 2019, Romijn revealed that the duo met at a Maxim Hot 100 party in Las Vegas. “Just to give a little more details, Rebecca was in the VIP section of the party, and I was not,” the Kangaroo Jack actor added. “I saw you in the VIP section and you were newly single, and I was like, ‘I got to get some of that, right there.’ It was a pool party, so I took my shirt off.

I did some pushups right there and got some oil. I was super flexing.”Romijn was previously married to John Stamos, whom she wed in 1998.
