Jerry O'Connell Addresses Rumors That He Could Be a 'Cuck'

Jerry O’Connell will never forget one rumor that spread about his private life.

“Is this where you say I like to watch people have sex?” O’Connell, 51, asked on the Thursday, August 14, episode of the “Deux/U” podcast. “Just to refresh everyone, I was one of the first celebrity guests on your podcast, and I made the mistake of saying, ‘What’s the weirdest story that has come in about me?’”

Be careful what you wish for because you might just get a rumor beyond your wildest dreams.

“You said, ‘I don’t want to say. I don’t want to say,’ and I was like, ‘Just say it,’” O’Connell told the unnamed podcast host. “You said there was a tip that came in that I like to watch people make love. I think they call them cucks, right?”

A cuck is a term often used to describe someone who receives pleasure from their partner being intimate with another person.

While the podcast host couldn’t stop laughing after realizing the actor remembered the tip, O’Connell joked that it’s “something I think about every day.”

“It’s seared in my memory,” he continued. “Have there been any stories that came in where I watched people perform sexual acts?”

Fortunately, The Talk cohost has not been the subject of any additional tips.

“Just to let you know, there could be a level of truth to all of your stories in the sense that I called up my friend, and we were sharing a hotel room, and he may have hooked up with someone who was there,” O’Connell shared. “I was not watching anyone. I left the hotel room. I was not watching anything.”

After some thinking, O’Connell — who has been married to Rebecca Romijn since 2007 — wonders if the woman who hooked up with his friend sent the tip.

Regardless, the actor said, “It’s not my thing.”

“I promise all of your listeners,” he added. “It’s not my thing, but I’m open to it. It might be fun to watch sometimes.”

All jokes aside, O’Connell and his wife recently celebrated their 18-year wedding anniversary. As for how they met, it all goes back to Las Vegas.

“We met at a Maxim Hot 100 party in Las Vegas. True story,” Romijn, 52, revealed while guest-hosting The Wendy Williams Show in February 2019. “It was a pool party in Las Vegas.”

O’Connell added, “I saw you in the VIP section and you were newly single, and I was like, ‘I got to get some of that, right there.’ It was a pool party, so I took my shirt off. I did some pushups right there and got some oil. I was super flexing.”
