Jerry O'Connell Wants His Daughters to Marry Into Royalty

Jerry O’Connell poses for a photo while making an appearance on Extra at Universal Studios Hollywood on Wednesday (December 20) in Universal City, Calif.

The 43-year-old actor opened up this week about how he’d like his and wife Rebecca Romijn‘s daughters to marry into royalty, just like future princess Meghan Markle.

“They can date anyone they want when they grow up, but I’m using this Meghan Markle thing as a point of reference for them,” Jerry told Us Weekly.

“‘Guys this is what I’m talking about. Meghan and a prince. This is what I expect.’ That’s the bar now. I would be cool with them marrying a royal. Anytime Meghan Markle is on the news, I point to them and go, ‘Girls there she is. That’s a princess. That’s what I’m talking about.’ I’m trying to motivate them,” he said.

Jerry‘s twin daughters Dolly and Charlie are nine-years-old!
