Full House star Candace Cameron Bure dropped a bombshell about how her marriage nearly ended in divorce.
The 49-year-old actress opened up about once going through a particularly ‘rough season’ with her husband Valeri Bure after 30 years of marriage.

On her Tuesday episode of The Candace Cameron Bure Podcast, she recalled: ‘Val and I went through a really, really rough season in our marriage.’

‘It was going south quickly. And we were like, “I don’t know, I don’t think … we’re gonna make it through.’
Candace Cameron Bure dropped a bombshell about how her marriage nearly ended in divorce
The 49-year-old actress opened up about once going through a particularly ‘rough season’ with her husband Valeri Bure after 30 years of marriage.
The pair have been married since 1996 and are parents to three adult children: Natasha, 26, Lev, 25, and Maksim, 23.
She recalled how their middle child, their eldest son Lev — who was also recording the podcast with her and their pastor Jonathan ‘JP’ Pokluda — stepped in and guided them through the rough patch with religion.

‘Lev came up to us and said, “We’d like to talk to you guys”,’ she recalled.
‘Lev preached like a 45-minute sermon on marriage to us, like, had his Bible open on the couch and just talked to us about it.’
She continued, ‘And I’ll never forget. He said, “I haven’t been married and I’m just a young kid, and it’s probably hard to take marriage advice from someone this young [who] never experienced it before. But I don’t need to be married to know what the word of God says.”‘
The actress said their son’s perspective opened their eyes and reminded them of their family values.
‘He was just such a calm voice that had so much wisdom behind it. And he looked us straight in the eye and individually asked me and asked Val, “Have you done everything you can?”
‘We walked away from that, and Val and I were like, “We raised pretty good kids.”

‘That was, like, the pivotal moment,’ she continued. ‘It really changed for us after that talk. It’s a whole different scenario when your kids sit you down to talk and say, “Are you being as mature as you can be?”‘
She added: ‘I’m so grateful to Lev, and Maks and Natasha. They were so supportive of everything.’

The Fuller House alum had previously opened up about how the COVID-19 pandemic affected her marriage.
‘All the things that we have avoided for years talking about, they all surfaced and they were in our face,’ she admitted during an interview with Yahoo! Lifestyle in March 2021.
‘And it was unavoidable to actually have these discussions with one another and work through the real deal crap.’
She first sparked a romance with the former NFL hockey player after they met through her Full House co-star Dave Coulier before getting engaged less than a year later.
