Josh Peck loves having meals with his wife Paige O'Brien, except when he's eating cereal. "I chew loudly, which is why my wife makes me eat cereal in a separate room," the 37-year-old actor exclusively tells We in their "25 Things You Don’t Know About Me" feature. "It's a pity, because I really enjoy eating cereal."
The couple, who got married in 2017 and have two children, Max (5) and Shai (14 months), love gathering at the table with their friends and family. Peck has recently become the Chief Hosting Officer for Jimmy Dean, where he shares hosting tips and tricks. He also enjoys making a delicious peanut noodles dish, which he likes to pair with Jimmy Dean Sausage for added protein and flavor.
