Giuliana Rancic, E! News co-anchor and red-carpet host has released her memoir, Going Off Script, opening up about her past love with Jerry O’Connell, a relationship we new existed but which G always kept mum on.
Dishing on the relationship, the 40-year old presenter shares that the pair met at the W Hotel in San Diego and it didn’t take long before the relationship turned serious.
Giuliana expressed that she was caught off guard when she found out that the actor was two-timing her with Spice Girl, Gerri Halliwell. “I was being two-timed…?” she questions before sharing Jerry’s less-than-sincere response: “Yeah, I know. I’m so sorry. I don’t know what happened.” Wow, seriously!?
Giuliana decided to give the relationship, and Jerry, a second chance. However, it seemed that the playboy comedian had not learnt his lesson because whilst in attendance at Maxim’s 100 Hottest women Party in 2004, the now mother-of-one spotted her man getting overly familiar with Rebecca Romijn, Hollywood actress and model. “Little did I know he was in the VIP area, talking to Rebecca as a prelude to feeling [her] up”, G exposes.
Giuliana explains how not long after that, Jerry stopped taking her calls and stopped responding to any form of communication, before the Fashion Police co-host decided to pay her cheating man a visit and confront him.
His response (again, seriously!?): “Nope. Sorry, homegirl,” he said while ending the relationship for good. “Things change, but you take care, OK?”
Jerry and Rebecca ended up getting married in 2007 and have two kids together. That same year, Giuliana found her Mr. Right in Apprentice’s season 1 winner, Bill Rancic (whom we love and adore!)
Jerry O’Connell may be a comedian as well as an actor, but we don’t think he’s very funny for the way in which he treated Giuliana.
