Jerry O’Connell & Rebecca Romijn are expecting twins!
Rebecca Romijn and Jerry O’Connell will soon be on double diaper duty.
Us Weekly has learned that Romijn, 35, and O’Connell, 34, are expecting twins this winter.
A spokesman for the couple confirmed the news Monday morning.
The babies will be the first children for the pair.
Romijn and O’Connell met at a party in 2004; he proposed a year later. They got married in an intimate ceremony in Los Angeles in July 2007. See their wedding photo.
A source close to the actor tells Us, “Jerry couldn’t be happier about becoming a dad.”
Earlier this month, O’Connell told Us that they had been trying to have kids.
“It would be amazing if it happened,” he said at the Much Love Animal Rescue’s “Bow Wow WOW!” event in L.A. July 19. “I hope it does happen.”
He joked that the conception process had been “a lot fun for me,” adding that they go at it “at least a few days a month!”
Asked about the secret to a happy marriage, O’Connell told Us, “We have a lot of fun together. I really enjoy being with her. I think Rebecca really enjoys being with me.”
Next up: O’Connell will star in the new Fox sitcom Do Not Disturb (premiering this fall). Romijn will star in the drama Lake City (due in November) and will return for a handful of episodes of ABC’s Ugly Betty in the fall.
Do they ever want to work together?
“Yeah, but we are so afraid of that Gigli effect!” O’Connell joked. “You can’t really go there anymore. It’s over. It’s done.”

The thing with celebrities is that they are all tarting fmailies later so having children is not on their side SOOOOOOOO they turn to invitro I wouldnt be surprised if J.Lo and the red head from Desperate Housewives both had invitro.

The redhead from Desperate Housewives DID have in vitro - she said so! She said that rather than going on honeymoon, she was getting fertility treatments etc.
Really, though - it’s like a twin explosion in Hollywood!
