John Stamos and Rebecca Romijn were married in 1998, meeting in 1994 and divorcing in 2004.

“I was very surprised by all of that, incredibly shocked actually,” she said.

“I was sort of blindsided by it. But you know, I don’t really want to help him sell his books based on those headlines. So that’s all I really want to say about it.”

Throughout the promotion of his memoir, Stamos shared his feelings surrounding their divorce, revealing that whilst Romijn’s career grew and his plateaued, he felt frustrated.

“I hated her after we split up, and I blamed her, but after writing this book I realised it was just as much my fault,” he said, adding, “I think that she outgrew me … I didn’t work as hard as I should have at anything.”

Until now, Romijn has stayed silent on their relationship and the deterioration of their marriage, however, her husband Jerry O’Connell doesn’t share the same sentiment. 

He spoke on Andy Cohen’s SiriusXM radio show to say that he had no plans on reading his wife’s ex-husband’s book.

“There was an interest in my household, but it’s so funny, after hearing his interview beginning to end on The Howard Stern Show, any interest of reading the book went away.”

During Romijn’s interview with ET, she discussed the recognition of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, which she stars in, at the Critics Choice Awards. 

“The critics love it, and it was a real shocker to us because the Star Trek franchise is typically overlooked by these types of awards events,” she said. “The fact that we somehow shone through really means the world to us.”
