Rebecca Romijn and Jerry O’Connell recently spoke to the Daily Mail about their 15 years of marriage. They talked to the publication at the Vanderpump Dog Gala and said their trick for being together so long was keeping the situation “light.”

Romijn and O’Connell also joked that their teenage kids are the reason they haven’t split up. The fun-loving couple married in 2007 and have 14-year-old twin girls, Charlie Tamara Tulip and Dolly Rebecca Rose.

O’Connell said, “Have teenage children, and then they become a problem,” and to this, Romijn said, “So, you sneak out together!” 

“You also become too afraid to split up because one of us might get full custody, and we’re frightened of that, so we try to stay together,” O’Connell joked.

During the interview, Romjin shared that she and O’Connell have honed the ability to find humor in everything. She said, “I guess we just keep on laughing. Keep it light. You have to lighten up about everything. You have to be able to move on quickly.”

O’Connell also revealed that his hack is to avoid conflict. He stated, “If there’s an argument brewing, I try not to engage. I try to distance myself.” When his wife countered by saying that he’s “not very good at that,” O’Connell replied, “I’m very good at that! I disengage!”

The actor and co-host of “The Talk” further explained that he always leaves the house once an issue breeds. He said, “I ran out! If I think a fight is happening, I run! My wife is also a Scorpio. It’s a different situation.”

Romijn and O’Connell met in Vegas at a Maxim Hot 100 pool party. During an appearance on “The Rachael Ray Show,” O’Connell reflected on how they came across each other.

He said, “Rebecca was in the VIP section; I was not. I waved my arms until I caught her attention and then grabbed her and said, ‘I’m with her, I’m with her.'” Romijn explained that the meeting was a “little more complicated” because she was at the show with her best friend and had a date.

The “Femme Fatale” actress explained that her best friend eventually gave O’Connell her number. When he noted that she was there on a date, her friend went, “I hate that guy,” and encouraged O’Connell. He said, “We’ve been pretty inseparable ever since.”
