Jerry O'Connell Responds to Fan Surprised to Learn 'Fat Kid from Stand by Me’ Married X-Men’s Mystique

Jerry O’Connell has been married to Rebecca Romijn since 2007. On X (formerly Twitter), O'Connell responded cheekily to a fan asking if "the fat kid from Stand By Me is married to Mystique," Romijn's 'X-Men' character.

A user on X (formerly Twitter) wrote O’Connell, 50, a somewhat forward reply to a post from the actor consisting of pictures of him and Romijn, 51. The four images O’Connell posted included a screenshot of a user criticizing his untrimmed eyebrows, apparently prompting him to enlist his wife’s help in tweezing them beyond recognition. O’Connell and Romijn tied the knot in an intimate ceremony in Los Angeles in July 2007 after meeting in 2004.
