Rebecca Romijn and her husband Jerry O'Connell have two kids and a life together, but that doesn't mean they share everything.
The couple, who have a reported combined net worth of $20 million, made a surprising confession about their finances during an appearance on SiriusXM's Andy Cohen Live on Thursday.
Marital finances
Despite their 18-year marriage, Rebecca, 52, revealed that she and Jerry, 51, have always kept their finances separate.
"We keep our money completely separate," she said when Andy joked that Jerry must be feeling the pinch after his hosting gig on The Talk ended last year.
"That's like one of the first conversations you have when you decide to enter into a legal agreement together," she added.

However, the amount they put into their joint account depends on "who's working more."
"I have to say, we actually throttle how much money we put into that account sometimes, depending on who's working more," Jerry added.

Jerry and Rebecca have been married since 2007 after meeting at the Maxim Hot 100 bash in Las Vegas in 2004.
She was separated from her husband, John Stamos, at the time, but filed for divorce one month after meeting Jerry, and the two began dating.

"We both decided we wanted to be with each other more than anybody else in the whole world," Rebecca added. "It was pretty cut and dried."
The couple previously opened up about why they think their marriage has lasted longer than most in Hollywood.

Jerry added that he tries to avoid conflict with his wife. "If there's an argument brewing, I try not to engage," he said.
"I try to distance myself," he continued, before jokingly adding: "I run out of the house, I get out of there! I run out! If I think a fight is happening, I run! My wife is also a Scorpio. It's a different situation."

Jerry was quizzed on whether he and John had seen each other after the Full House actor moved into the neighborhood in 2021. "I have not, but I make sure that my hair is perfect every day just in case I do see him," he said on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen.
He added that he was "on the lookout" for John, but said that "it would be very friendly if we did".
