Good news! First Elphaba and Glinda patched things up, and now Jerry O'Connell and John Stamos' years-long feud is over.
Two years after O'Connell publicly declared that he wouldn't read Stamos' memoir, If You Would Have Told Me, in which the Full House alum makes some choice comments about his 2005 divorce from Rebecca Romijn — whom O'Connell married in 2007 — the duo has seemingly made amends. At least enough to pose for a selfie together.
On Saturday, The Talk alum shared a smiling selfie with Stamos and his wife Caitlin McHugh at Howie Mandel's 70th birthday celebration.
"First @zohrankmamdani and @realdonaldtrump," O'Connell captioned the Instagram post, referencing the recent meeting between New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani and President Donald Trump. "Then me and @johnstamos."
Political quips aside, O'Connell shared kind words for the couple, adding, "Gorgeous fam and gorgeous people @johnstamos & @caitlinskybound."
Mandel was more than happy to take credit for the reconciliation. "This is what I do," the America's Got Talent judge quipped in the comments. "I bring people together. You're welcome."
Stamos published his memoir in October 2023, in which he addresses both the highs and lows of his career and personal life, including his divorce from Rebecca Romijn, to whom he was married from 1998 to 2005, and his long road to sobriety, which began with his DUI arrest in 2015.
In a conversation with PEOPLE at the time, Stamos said the divorce "shattered" him. "In my mind back then, she was the devil, and I just hated her," he said. "I couldn't believe how much I hated her, and it ruined my life." He eventually recognized that he played "some part" in the split. "You start thinking, 'She wasn't the devil. Maybe I was as much to blame as her.'"
But O'Connell had no interest in Stamos' realization. During an appearance on Andy Cohen's SirusXM radio show in November 2023, he told Cohen that he and Romijn don't have "any interest" in diving into the memoir especially after learning the book accuses Romijn of cheating during their relationship and Stamos spoke about how he felt "emasculated" during his marriage to Romijn in an interview with Howard Stern.
O'Connell noted that it got "awkward" with his twin daughters with Romjin. "My children are 14 and they see what we see now," O'Connell said at the time. "There's no hiding, there's no more keeping things from them. It's pretty crazy when your kids come out for breakfast and go, 'Hey mom, your ex has a book out and called you the devil. What are your thoughts?'"
In Stamos' interview with Stern, the actor spoke about how he struggled with Romijn's rising fame during their marriage. "I think that she outgrew me," he said, acknowledging that he should've tried harder to save the marriage. "I didn't work as hard as I should at anything."
As for the Star Trek: Strange New Worlds star's thoughts, she shared her perspective with Entertainment Tonight in January 2024. The actress confessed that she was "blindsided" by Stamos' book.
"I was very surprised by all of that, incredibly shocked actually," Romijn said. "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."
Romijn and O'Connell met at the Maxim Hot 100 bash in 2004 and married three years later. Their twin daughters were born December 2008.
Stamos married McHugh in February 2018, two months before they welcomed their son, Billy, 7.
