She has also been through a lot of personal transitions.
“I sang in choruses and choirs including the Oakland Youth Chorus.”
While the budding star may have loved to act, she never envisioned herself as a professional actor.
She dropped out of college after just one year and decided to pursue a different career: modeling.
As she explained toIGN, “My mom didn’t wear makeup …
I didn’t know anything.”
For a while, they were a Hollywood power couple, but their relationship wasn’t built to last.
Their divorce was finalized in 2005 and deeply affected Romijn.
“I was with him for 10 years.
Despite the heartbreak, Romijn looks back on her years with Stamos with affection.
“I have a lot of fond memories of him,” she admitted.
“A lot of things about him that I miss.”
She found herself looking for a change, although she was afraid to voice her true desires.
“I’ve never been one to make plans, because I never wanted to disappoint myself … Romijn recalled being nervous in her first paid acting gig but said that she had a blast on set.
“I remember walking out of the soundstage at Warner Bros. that night going, ‘It’s official.
This is exactly what I want to be doing.'”
Other roles quickly followed that 1997 gig.
Even harder was getting roles that allowed her to show off her wide range.
“I mean, playing somebody who’s perfect holds no allure for me, whatsoever.
It’s just boring.
I’d rather play somebody who’s a little broken.
Who’s got a darker side.”
But Romijn wasn’t done showing the world the depth of her talent.
“I was looking for anything that would get me excited,” she said.
“I was reading scripts from the film world and I was reading television scripts.
I read ‘Pepper Dennis’ and by page two I was like this girl is crazy.
I want to get involved with this.”
“I jumped at the chance,” she said.
I’d like to think that, anyway.
I don’t want to pat myself on the back too much.”
They met again at a Maxim party in Las Vegas in 2004 and quickly became inseparable.
The following year the same year that Romijn’s divorce from Stamos was finalized they were engaged.
“Jerry is amazing, fantastic,” she told Review Graveyard in 2006.
We get on so well.”
The couple were married in 2007 and have been going strong ever since.
While the two celebs seem like a match made in heaven, O’Connell considers himself the lucky one.
“I’m shocked every day that I have Rebecca as my wife,” he toldPage Six.
“It’s why Rebecca wins every fight.”
“I desperately wanted kids,” she said.
Family is a priority for me."
Getting pregnant wasn’t easy for her, though.
One of the manycelebrities who have struggled with infertility, Romijn underwent fertility treatments for finally conceive.
“That’s what real life is,” she toldRedbook.
“Once you start paying somebody else to do the grunt work, who are you?”
“They make me so proud.”
“I know a lot of people legitimate fashion people can’t stand it,” she said.
“Hate it that these, you know, social media stars are now the supermodels in fashion.
They are not true supermodels.”
“I think some models are too young when they start working,” she said.
“They’ve had a hard time with love.
Many understandably fear the process, and age-defying treatments are common among celebrities.
Rebecca Romijn is fine with the ways her body has changed over the years, though.
“You have to check your vanity at the door.”
That attitude has carried over into other body changes, including wrinkles.
“I admired my mom’s laugh lines,” she said.
And why wouldn’t she be happy getting older when the years have been so good for her?
