Rebecca Romijn's Daughters Have a 'Different Relationship' with Her Than with Husband Jerry O'Connell (Exclusive)

"My girls want me there all the time," Romijn tells PEOPLE

Rebecca Romijn's daughters are big fans of their mom.

Speaking to PEOPLE at the 84th Annual Peabody Awards in Beverly Hills, Calif., the actress, 51, shared that her twin daughters, Charlie and Dolly, 15, seem to favor their mom at the moment over their dad and Romijn's longtime husband, actor Jerry O'Connell, 50.

"Dads are different with them," Romijn tells PEOPLE. "We have a very different relationship. My girls want me there all the time." However, the star notes that it's "pretty cool to have Jerry" as a dad, as well.

"They're funny girls," Romijn continues. "And I like being with them because they're going to be 16 in December, which means I've only got two and a half years left with them until they're out of the house. So I want to take as much time as I can to run around with them."
