All thanks to Uncle Joey! Candace Cameron Bure and husband Valeri Bure have been married for more than 20 years — and still like packing on the PDA.
The Full House star was introduced to the hockey player through her costar Dave Coulier while filming the ’90s sitcom. After less than a year of dating, Bure proposed. The twosome wed in 1996.
“He makes me laugh a lot, which is a very good quality,” she gushed to Us Weekly exclusively in 2019. “He’s just such a bold person. We always have interesting conversations. I love his passion and his strength so very much. He’s so supportive of me and our children.”
The couple share daughter Natasha (born 1998) and sons Lev (2000) and Maksim (2002).
“My kids are young adults and teenagers and I’m OK in their eyes,” Cameron Bure told Us. “They don’t mind hanging out with me. I don’t care if I’m cool in their eyes, but the fact that they actually enjoy hanging out and want to be my friend is, like, the biggest win for me ever.”
While Cameron Bure often gushes about her man, she isn’t afraid to admit that they’ve hit rough patches.
“Marriage is a wonderful, beautiful thing but there’s always going to be tough times,” she told Us in 2018. “There’s no one that has this amazingly perfect marriage. … You just hang in there and stick with it.”
The actress added at the time that her business schedule helps keep the spark alive. “Because I travel a lot, that’s the secret!” she told Us. “Because, you know, being away from each other makes the heart grow fonder.”

“[Lori Loughlin and I] were looking at these two cute men on the ice, and I was like, ‘I wanna meet that one, the blonde one,’ which was Val,” she recalled in 2014 of seeing Bure for the first time. “We went on a date the very next day, and in less than a year we were engaged.” Shutterstock; Eric Charbonneau/Shutterstock
"My husband is a natural-born leader. I quickly learned that I had to find a way of honoring his take-charge personality and not get frustrated about his desire to have the final decision on just about everything,” Cameron Bure wrote in her 2013 book Balancing It All. “I am not a passive person, but I chose to fall into a more submissive role in our relationship because I wanted to do everything in my power to make my marriage and family work."

"The definition I'm using with the word submissive is the biblical definition of that,” the actress said on HuffPost Live in 2014 after backlash over her admission. "So, it is meekness, it is not weakness. It is strength under control, it is bridled strength. And that's what I choose to have in my marriage." Alex Berliner/BEI/Shutterstock
“[We have] sex any time of the day, even if the kids are home. We just make sure our kids can’t pick the lock on our bedroom door!” Cameron Bure quipped in 2014 before revealing her secret to a happy marriage. “Love, respect, communication and keeping a healthy and active interest in your spouse’s passions. We all grow and evolve. It’s important to make sure you do that together.” Broadimage/Shutterstock
“Let’s be real for a second. We are celebrating 20 years of marriage today. 22 years together as a couple,” she wrote on Facebook in 2016. “I couldn’t be more proud to be here and love my man the way I do. But let me assure you it hasn’t been all roses the whole journey. There have been several tough years, in a row, ups and downs, bad attitudes and bad decisions, but we’ve persevered. We rode them out. We loved each other through them. We kept the focus; God’s glory. We are both better for it. I’m so grateful and thankful for the man I married. Neither of us are perfect, far from it, and will continue to make mistakes because we are human. But God’s Word and His grace see us through- striving to be the best of ourselves in Him. To God be the glory. Thank you for an awesome 20 years together. I pray for another 60. Amen.” Kcr/Shutterstock
“I always say, put your spouse on a pedestal,” she told Us in 2018. “And in return, you’re hoping, which my husband does, we have the same respect for one another other … and some days neither of us deserve it, but we do it because we honor one another and respect each other. You hang in there, you’re always going to come back on the upswing if you’re in a low spot.” Lia Stude
“My parents have been such a role model for me in my own marriage. You know, you see the ups and downs,” Cameron Bure told Us exclusively in 2019 of her parents, Barbara and Robert Cameron. “I’ve seen [their marriage go] through the tough times and when you see people that are committed to each other to stick through those tough times and be willing to grow and learn and not walk away because that could be the easier choice, I mean, it’s incredibly inspirational.” Broadimage/Shutterstock
The Fuller House star defended her decision to post a photo of Bure with his hand on her breast in 2020. “I like PDA if it's done tastefully. I like to be affectionate publicly with my husband, with my children, like whoever that is, and I think that's part of why we are such a close family,” she said on Fox News at the time. “And after 24 years of marriage, I mean, you hear more about people saying, 'Ah, you've been married. Ah, you stopped having sex. Oh, it's so boring.' And I'm like, 'No, but it doesn't have to be that way.' So the fact that I'm still having fun and it's spicy and it's sexy and we have a good time, I mean, that's a huge part of why we're still married." Courtesy Candace Cameron Bure/Instagram
Cameron Bure revealed in 2020 that the quarantine caused by the coronavirus pandemic strengthened her marriage. “It totally tested us but in the best of ways,” she exclusively told Us. “I'll be honest because we try. We both travel so much. And so we were like, ‘This might be the most amount of time we've actually spent together in years. This is either going to make us or break us.’ And you know what? It’s made us.” The pair used the opportunity to discuss, “What the things we have to work on? What are the things that are working well?” as well as reevaluate her work schedule so she could be with her family more.
After more than one year of quarantining together amid the coronavirus pandemic, Cameron Bure spoke to Us exclusively about how her approach to marriage has shifted. “When you’re all in a house together for [over a year], you have to start talking about the things you kind of avoid because of work and travel and all that stuff,” she said in April 2021. “We just pushed through some of the things that were eating away at both of us. There’s hurt feelings for a minute. And then there’s pouting for a minute and there’s anger for a minute. And then you kind of go, ‘Well, how are we going to figure it out? And what decisions are we going to make? How do we come to a compromise in a way that you feel good?’” The Hallmark Channel star continued: “So, that’s just what we did. And that’s what marriage is really all about, but it was kind of thrown in your face during quarantine. I feel like we were always working hard to have our schedules meet, to spend more time together. It was such an effort … to the point where that was part of our issue. We were getting cranky with each other.” Courtesy of Candace Cameron Bure/Instagram
The Aurora Teagarden Mysteries star and the former hockey player celebrated 25 years of marriage in June 2021. Ahead of their silver anniversary, the actress told Us about their romantic plans. “We are exchanging gifts, although I’m terrible at anniversary gifts. I’m the worst,” Cameron Bure admitted. “Val always comes up with something that’s wonderful and theme related, meaning it’s 25 years. … It’s silver. So he will for sure get something that has silver.” The mother of three noted that she had something “custom made” for the marriage milestone. “So that felt a little extra on my part, but it’s not extravagant,” she explained. “We are going to go away to northern California for a few days to just spend a couple of days together. We have some dinners at [our] favorite restaurants, and we’re just going to enjoy the coast and the beach and one another.” Courtesy of Candace Cameron Bure/Instagram
The Christmas Town actress revealed her and Bure’s “secret” to a successful marriage while celebrating their 25-year anniversary in June 2021. “Grace. Grace. Grace. Communication (which is so important but difficult when one partner isn’t willing.),” she wrote via Instagram alongside photos of the couple on a romantic getaway. “Sex. Laughter. Patience. Lots of patience. Love (a verb. which must be put into action, it’s not just a feeling.) No marriage is picture perfect. Not one. And certainly not ours.” Cameron Bure added: “But through thick and thin, ups and downs, God has blessed us tremendously with guidance and perseverance. I believe God is the secret sauce 😉. I have more love for this man today than the day we married each other 🙌🏼❤️ And I know he does for me ❤️❤️. Praise the Lord 🙌🏼.” Courtesy of Candace Cameron Bure/Instagram
The actress opened up about how "important" it is for her and the retired athlete to "make time for one another" in all aspects of their lives — especially when it comes to being intimate. "I'm a happier person and my husband's a happier person when we've had sex. ... We don't have a schedule for that," she teased on the "Mayim Bialik's Breakdown" podcast in September 2022, adding that her husband's sense of humor is one of the things she loves most. "When there's that playfulness, like, there is nothing that makes me happier and more attracted to him." Richard Shotwell/Invision/AP/Shutterstock
