Rebecca Romijn and Jerry O'Connell spice up their relationship by playing badminton.

The couple - who have been together since August 2004 - say they're addicted to the racquet sport and love to play for hours.

Jerry, 32, revealed to People magazine: "I can't believe I'm saying this publicly but we play a lot of badminton."

'X-Men' star Rebecca added: "We can do it for an entire weekend. We'll play for four hours a day straight."

Jerry also revealed he and Rebecca have become addicted to ballroom dancing.

He confessed: "Rebecca and I are really into the TV show 'Dancing with the Stars'.

"We've been taking ballroom dance lessons as a result."

The pair, who are due to tie the knot, have decided to ditch lavish wedding plans for something more low-key.

Jerry explained: "It'll be something very small, with just our siblings. Rebecca has a sister and I have a brother."

Rebecca, 33, recently revealed she is desperate to start a family.

She explained: "I can't wait. It is actually getting to the point where I get tears in my eyes when I see a pregnant woman.

"Family is a priority for me."
