"X-Men" stunner Rebecca Romijn, her "Crossing Jordan"-star boyfriend Jerry O'Connell and "Oprah" interior decorator Nate Berkus dished about their love lives during an intimate poolside lunch on Saturday at The Four Seasons Hotel in L.A. The juicy stuff was traded within earshot of a Lowdown spy.

"Did you start dating instantly as soon as your marriage broke up?" Berkus was heard asking John Stamos' ex-wife, whose flack officially announced their separation in April 2004, after five years of marriage.

"Yeah, but we'd actually been separated a year before we told the press about it," Romijn confided. "We were in couples' therapy before and after we separated, and we briefly got back together. But we fought from the very beginning, and we just fought and fought. I just got so sick of John being mad all the time. He was always so mad."

As for O'Connell, Romijn told Berkus they initially met briefly at the Beverly Hills Hotel five years ago. "He made me laugh," she recalled. But they didn't become an item until June 2004, when they met in Las Vegas - poolside at the Hard Rock Hotel - where Romijn was on hand for the Maxim Hot 100 party.

Yesterday, Hollywood flack Lewis Kay - who reps both Romijn and Stamos - said only: "It is unfortunate that your source would eavesdrop on what was obviously a private and personal conversation."
