Jerry O’Connell Gets Real About a Wild Rumor: Is He a ‘Cuck’?

Looks like Jerry O’Connell is turning the rumor mill with his latest revelation on the podcast “Deux/U.” Recently, he tackled a rather eyebrow-raising claim about himself being a ‘cuck’—a term that generally refers to someone who enjoys watching their partner be intimate with others. Laughing it off, he recalled how he fell victim to this spicy gossip during a previous episode when the host joked about him liking to observe romantic escapades. Who knew a little curiosity in the podcast world would lead to such wild speculation?

O’Connell went on to clarify that while he may have been in the same hotel room as a friend who hooked up with someone, he “was not watching anyone.” It’s funny to think how quickly rumors can spiral—one little anecdote and suddenly there’s a scandal. He admitted the whole notion is “not his thing,” but cheekily added that he’s open-minded about the idea. Imagine the dinners with his wife, Rebecca Romijn, after this!

The actor has been married to Romijn since 2007, and the two clearly share a playful and humorous dynamic. During their chats about their beginnings at a Maxim Hot 100 party in Las Vegas, you can sense the warmth and connection they have. They’ve survived almost two decades of marriage, so they obviously know what keeps things spicy—just perhaps not in the way the rumors suggest. What do you think? Is a little playful speculation about celeb couples all in good fun, or does it cross a line?
