In a recent podcast appearance, actor John Stamos opened up about his painful divorce from Rebecca Romijn, which concluded in 2005. Stamos, 62, shared that he never wished for the separation, stating, "She wanted to," and that it took him a long time to overcome the heartbreak.
He noted that Romijn, 53, has since found happiness with husband Jerry O'Connell, 52, with whom she shares twin daughters. Stamos recounted a recent, positive interaction at a party where he met O'Connell. He described the encounter as "very interesting," finding O'Connell to be "very sweet," funny, and charming.
Stamos previously described the divorce as "shattering" in his memoir, admitting his healing process was "not healthy" and involved considerable drinking.

The actor also shared anecdotes about his son Billy, including how the 8-year-old uses his father's iconic role as Uncle Jesse on "Full House" to impress classmates.
