Jerry O'Connell has said he used to think his acting career, which started when he was still a kid, would always be his number one priority. But once he got married to model Rebecca Romijn and became a father to twins, the things that mattered most to O'Connell had significantly shifted.
As O'Connell recalled to People, he and Romijn connected at a Las Vegas party back in 2004, while Romijn was in the middle of divorcing "Full House" star John Stamos. Although there was no funny business going on between O'Connell and Romijn in Sin City, the two did have immediate chemistry. A couple months later, she and the "Jerry McGuire" actor started to date. And the rest is history.
Although O'Connell is madly in love with his wife, it still took a bit of time before he could adjust from "Hollywood big shot" to "family man." Of the transition, he said on CBS' "The Talk" (via Yahoo!), "I always put work first. It's just what I did. It's kind of how I was raised...when I met my wife and we had kids my wife was like 'You can't,' there was a specific job, and my wife was like 'You can't do it. You can't leave me alone. We have twins.'" He went on to add, "My wife made me prioritize my family over making money. By the way, it was a fight, but my wife was right."
