Even though John Stamos is getting close to 60 years old, he did not find the person he was meant to be with until the last decade. The actor, who had previously been through a disastrous marriage, decided to give love another chance, and as a result, he is now a successful family man who is happily married.
Fans of the comedy “Full House” on ABC may remember Uncle Jesse as the brother-in-law of Danny, who had just lost his wife. He and the spouse of his sister’s other sister worked together to raise their children. In due time, he tied the knot with Rebecca Donaldson and became a parent.
The life I led away from the camera didn’t deviate all that much. After first seeing Rebecca Romijn in 1994, the actor found himself hopelessly in love with the femme fatale celebrity. After being together for six years, the couple finally decided to take their relationship to the next level by getting engaged in 1993. They were married the following year in 1998.
Sadly, this love affair straight out of a fairy tale didn’t last very long. In 2004, Stamos stunned his audience by announcing that he had filed for divorce; the process was concluded the following year. Romijn, who was already married and a mother to two children at the time of the divorce, stated that it was difficult for her. In her words:
“Going through the process of getting a divorce is horrible and dreadful. Ten years passed while I was with him. Divorce seems like a failure … I had to let go of a lot of things that brought me a lot of sadness, and there were a lot of those things.”
It seemed like the former couple parted ways on friendly terms, despite the fact that they never discussed why they decided to end their relationship. Seventeen years after their marriage did not work out, Romijn talks about some of the excellent times they had together. In her words:
Romijn said, “I do, I have a lot of great good memories from back then.” “I have many warm and fuzzy recollections of him. There are many aspects about him that I will never get over missing. But you’re right, it is a challenge. When it comes to ending a marriage, choosing to do so may be a very challenging and difficult choice to make. It was quite upsetting.”
In a similar vein, Stamos concurred that it was a horrifying experience. The actor’s hopes of marrying a beautiful lady and starting a happy family with her were dashed when events did not play out as he had anticipated they would.
The performer of “Bye Bye Birdie” revealed in 2009 that he felt like a failure due to the fact that their marriage had ended in divorce. Stamos went on to say that “it wasn’t so much about her as it was about the fact that the entire thing didn’t work.”
In addition to this, he clarified that neither side was at fault for the breakup of their relationship. The actor said that despite the fact that he enjoyed going out to parties, the fact that they were committed to one another did not change. According to what he says:
“I don’t believe that that had a role in it. There reached a point when I couldn’t find my way out. I believe that I needed to be by myself in order to rediscover who I am.”
After his divorce in 2004, Stamos lived the life of a bachelor for a while. He was successful in the entertainment business despite the fact that he liked going out and having fun. He had a positive outlook on life and, as was said previously, he entertained the idea of starting a family.
Because Stamos already has everything, he never considered the possibility that he might need to acquire anything more. The actor recounted, in a revelation that was both enlightening and refreshingly honest:
“I never stopped thinking about having a family of my own, but I never gave myself much hope that it would happen. And it’s possible that I was thinking to myself, ‘Well, I have everything; I shouldn’t be greedy”
Stamos eventually gave in to his avarice. He married an actress and model who turned out to be his ideal companion, and they went on to conceive a cute little boy. In 2011, the actor from “Big Shot” had his first encounter with his future wife, Caitlin McHugh. They were both featured in a segment of the television show “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit.”
When Stamos was telling Caitlin the story of how they first met, he said that he had played the part of an arrogant person who, ironically, sought to trick Caitlin into having a kid with him. Caitlin was amused by this explanation. After an absence of four years, they were reunited. This time, Caitlin decided to show her support for her buddy who had a role in “Fuller House” by attending the event.
Stamos, who was a member of the cast, saw Caitlin and inquired as to whether or not she was following him. Because of the assurance in her reaction, he found himself falling in love with her. “That she responded with a “No” is one of the reasons I adore her. What? is all she can say. No. I haven’t given you a second thought in a while.” He said.
Soon after, they began a romantic relationship, and in 2017, Stamos popped the question to the actress when they were on a vacation to Disneyland. An animated portrait of the actor and his fiancee, created by a Disney artist named Paul Briggs, was posted online by the actor. It said in the caption:
“I inquired, and she confirmed it.
And there was never a sad moment in our lives again.”
After the engagement news was publicized, neither of them provided any more information regarding their relationship. On the other hand, in 2016, the on-screen diva said that they had every intention of keeping their personal life a secret and living happily ever after.
In all honesty, Stamos could not help but be ecstatic about his blossoming relationship with Caitlin, and despite the fact that they worked very hard to conceal their budding relationship from others, he still managed to make some endearing remarks about her. He said the following in an interview with ET:
“I would want to [be able to have children], it has always been my goal. Simply said, it has taken me far more time than I had planned. If I eventually met the lady I wanted to spend the rest of my life with but was unable to have children with her, it would be a tragic ending.”
Thankfully, everything turned out just as he had envisioned it. In February of 2018, the couple celebrated their wedding with a wonderful ceremony. Before an arranged event at Stamos’s extravagant estate, the couple exchanged their vows inside Little Brown Church in Studio City, California. The church is located in California.
McHugh was absolutely stunning in her off-the-shoulder white wedding gown with beach-wave hair that was styled to fall to one side in an unforced manner. Even though she was pregnant with their baby at the time, the actress’s clothing suited her well. A few short months after their wedding, Stamos made the happy announcement that he was going to be a father.
The ecstatic new father shared a black-and-white photograph of their newborn son, Billy Stamos, along with the cutest possible message of congratulations on his arrival. On several occasions, McHugh has benefited from the sweet praises that her husband has bestowed upon her.
Three months after giving birth, the model went back to work and immediately won the highest honors from the star of “Big Shot.” Stamos had seen a post she had made online in which she discussed returning to work, and he praised her stunning beauty.
The actor of “Full House” now has a family of his own, which includes his wife and their little kid. But despite the responsibilities that come with being a parent, he still finds time to enjoy a smooth romance. He said:
“We are able to surprise one another. The week before last, she brought me to the Lavender Festival, and I had a wonderful time there. We work hard to get back into the swing of things by focusing on the basics.
While the pair makes time to enjoy one other’s company in order to keep the spark alive in their relationship, they are also very hands-on when it comes to raising young Billy. Stamos and his wife said that they were unable to contemplate a life without their kid. However, he joked that even though they must move on to a youngster who is crying, they are prepared to take on the burden of caring for the child.
The actor from “Full House” considers himself fortunate to have such a loving and supportive family. When the on-screen celebrity and his wife were celebrating their wedding anniversary in February, he used the opportunity to publicly acknowledge Caitlin’s role as a significant impact in his life. He posted a few pictures of her and wrote that he considers her to be his “greatest wife, mother, friend, and support system.”
Stamos gushes over his lovely wife at every available opportunity. In May, as they were celebrating her birthday, he posted some gorgeous photos of the birthday lady with their kid on his Instagram account.
The 58-year-old man is, without a doubt, quite content with his life and would not have had it any other way. The fact that he waited for a number of years before discovering the one he was looking for demonstrates that patience is a virtue that anyone should practice.
