John Stamos opened up about his journey towards finding the right girl and then settling down with her. He also discussed the topics of fatherhood and sobriety.
My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2 actor appeared in SiriusXM’s The Howard Stern and talked about the events that led to his wedding. When the star was asked what made him decide he wants to settle down into a serious relationship, Stamos replied, “The sobriety helped. My mind got very clear.” “I realized I just had to put everything into it,”
According to the actor, meeting his wife Caitlin was magical and it convinced him that it was time to get serious about settling down. The pair met during the shooting of an episode of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit.
Caitlin was in another serious relationship at the time, so the inception of this fairytale was nipped in the bud for a while.
“She was engaged, and we exchanged numbers, but after a while she said ‘We have to stop texting because I’m getting married,’” Stamos recalled.
Their stars aligned again as the two met one more time on the set of Fuller House. Stamos knew then that she was the one.
“She was just a nice, really beautiful, normal girl, and I had to tell myself that this is I think what I need and put everything into it,” he went on. “And if it doesn’t work then that’s okay.”
Lucky for him, it did work magically. The two got married 3 years ago in February 2018. They both are now parents to a 3-year-old Billy.
Stamos adores his little one and said, "[Fatherhood] is better than I imagined. I wanted kids my whole life. And I'm just so grateful."
