John Stamos Says 2005 Divorce 'Broke My Heart'

On a June 10 podcast he framed the split as a long source of pain and said sobriety followed by fatherhood reshaped his life.

Overview

  • Stamos told Bobbi Althoff on The Really Good Podcast that his first divorce “broke my heart” and that he did not want the marriage to end.
  • The actor referenced his 1998–2005 marriage to Rebecca Romijn and said it took him a long time to get over the split.
  • He described recently meeting Romijn’s husband Jerry O’Connell at a party and called O’Connell kind, funny and charming.
  • Stamos said quitting drinking about a decade ago improved his wellbeing and that his later marriage to Caitlin McHugh and their son William “Billy” Christopher reflect that recovery.
  • News outlets note these remarks largely revisit material from Stamos’s 2023 memoir and prior interviews, reporting his personal reflections rather than new corroborating facts.
