The always gorgeous and down-to-earth Rebecca Romijn has conquered the world of modeling and acting. Now the successful 37-year-old “Ugly Betty” star is a mother of multiples. Rebecca and her husband Jerry O’Connell welcomed their adorable twin daughters – Dolly and Charlie – in December 2008. Celebrity Baby Scoop sat down with the model mom and discussed the challenges of raising two at once, the joys of motherhood and the importance of making time alone with your partner amidst the trenches of twins.
Celebrity Baby Scoop: Is Dolly the one who looks like you?
Rebecca Romijin: Yes, Dolly is the one who looks like me and Charlie is the one who looks like Jerry. Jerry’s mother just sent us a photo of Jerry’s grandmother when she was Charlie’s age and they look identical.
CBS: And you even kept the name in the family (Charlie was named after Jerry’s brother).
RR: It just worked out that way. When I was pregnant, I named them before I even met them. I could sense which one was which. It was funny, the second or third day I was in the hospital, I tried swapping their names and nobody could do it. It was set, it was in the stars.
CBS: Your girls are absolutely gorgeous. Do you think Jerry is prepared for the teen years?
RR: No, I don’t think any of us are. We just keep reminding ourselves that if we think it’s tough now, wait till they’re 15 and revert back to toddlers. We’ll see. Wish us luck!”
CBS: How are your girls different and how are they the same?
RR: They are both extremely willful and curious and active.
Dolly is really social. She’s at this really funny age where she wants to play with the older kids at the playground. She’ll run up to groups of older girls and get right in the middle of them and start babbling and then laughing hysterically because that’s what they’re doing. She can’t even talk yet!
And Charlie’s a little more reserved. She’ll sit off to the side and observe. For a while there we thought Dolly was the wild child and Charlie was completely safe. But now we’re noticing that Charlie has got her bravado on these days. She’s climbing to the big girl slide and attempting to go down herself – which of course worries us. It’s been amazing and so cute. We laugh a lot. We try to keep it light.
Yesterday, Rebecca Romijn was photographed out in Los Angeles and I have just added 12 HQ pictures!
Rebecca Romijn and Jerrry O’Connell’s twins are only 20 months old, but they’ve already got street cred.
Of sorts…
“The horrific, horrible terrible twos have already begun!” Romijn tells us.
How so?
She and her Piranha 3D hubby say daughters Dolly and Charlie, who will turn 2 in December, have a funny way of showing them they’re tired of walking.
“They just stop in the middle of the street,” O’Connell reveals.
“If they don’t wanna go, they’ll just drop and wait, both of them!” Romijn continues. “It’s like a sit-in protest. They’re like, ‘Nope, we’re doing a sit-in.’ It’s so annoying!”
However, there is an upside to their antics. Romijn says that it’s actually become a good way to stay in shape.
“If you’re by yourself, you have to bend down on the street and pick them both up,” she smiles. “I have never been so strong in my life!”

Rebecca Romijn and Jerry O’Connell are doting parents to their one-year-old twins, Dolly Rebecca Rose and Charlie Tamara Tulip. The girls are starting to really develop little personalities and even their own language! The hot Hollywood couple told OK! exclusively that Dolly and Charlie have developed a gibberish that only they can understand!
“They aren’t really talking. They are having conversations in gibberish,” Jerry told OK! at the premiere of his new movie Piranha 3D.
“They have a very specific language that they speak with each other. They talk to us a little, but they have this very funny language. They are very specific. It’s a twin thing,” Rebecca added about Dolly and Charlie’s latest milestone.
So what words to the adorable twins with the world?
“Well they say ‘ma,’ ‘da,’ ‘doggy’ and they make animal sounds and they love scary animals like, ‘What did the dragon say,’ ” Rebecca said.
With toddler twin girls running around, it isn’t always easy for the couple to spend alone time.
“We got a sitter and went on a date for sushi,” Jerry said of the last time they spent without the kiddies. “I don’t usually go for sushi, but I do when I want to get on my wife’s good side.”
“Read between the lines,” Rebecca quipped.
Will the twins be allowed to watch Daddy in the scary movie about lethal piranhas?
“No way! But trust me, if they are anything like me, by the age of 13, they will find a way to see scary movies because when I was 13 that’s all I wanted to see,” Rebecca said.
So are there any more children on the horizon for Jerry and Rebecca?
“No, I am done, that’s it,” she said.

Since giving birth to twins girls in December 2008, Rebecca Romijn admits that it hasn’t been easy to shed the 60 pounds of baby weight she gained during her pregnancy.
“I’m still working on the last few pounds of baby weight,” Romijn, 37, tells UsMagazine.com. “I really just try to work in a half hour of some sort of workout routine every day. I try to break a sweat every day. It doesn’t always happen that way, but that’s the goal.”
Romijn — who wed actor Jerry O’Connell in July 2007 — also reveals that nowadays, her workouts are more of a family affair.
“We play a lot of badminton, we go tandem bike riding, we try to keep it fun,” the former Eastwick star says. “We try to do things as a couple and now as a family.”
And now that daughters Charlie and Dolly are 19-months-old, Romijn jokes that the two are already starting to become little troublemakers.
“We took the girls on their first merry-go-round ride. One of them was really into it and the other wasn’t having it,” the actress tells Us. “We went for a surry ride with the fringe on top — it’s like a bicycle with the baby seats in the front. They were instructed to wear helmets but they kept trying to take them off. Then they discovered it was more fun to bash each other in the heads with their helmets!”

I have just finished up the “Public Appearances” section of our gallery today by adding 300+ photos of Rebecca Romijn at events from the years 1995 through 2000.
I have a real treat for everyone today! I found an old VHS tape – who knew?! – that featured Rebecca Romijn on the “House Of Style” Anniversary Special from back in 2001 (I believe that was the year)… I was able to make 252 captures of Rebecca from the special, its definitely a must-see!
