Candace Cameron Bure Reveals How Her Husband Really Reacted to Those TMI Podcast Confessions

Candace Cameron Bure just turned 50 and immediately reminded us she is very much online. The former Full House star says her husband, Valeri Bure, is not thrilled when some of her spicier podcast moments get chopped up and blasted across the internet. She gets it — and she keeps coming home with apologies.

"I apologize so much. I come home and I’m like, 'I’m sorry, I’m sorry.' Clips pop up that I didn’t approve, they’re pulled out of a 45 minute conversation and suddenly it’s a headline. And he’s very forgiving."

The podcast overshare problem

In an exclusive chat with Us Weekly tied to her 50th birthday on Monday, April 6, Candace said the issue is simple: a thoughtful, long conversation becomes a bite-size promo or a random viral clip, and the out-of-context version sounds way wilder than it did in the room. She knows those soundbites about her nearly 30-year marriage and sex life make catchy headlines. She also knows she’s the one who has to face Valeri afterward — hence the constant mea culpas.

Who she’s talking with on the mic

This season — season 13 of her podcast — Candace has been working with Bachelor alum Madi Prewett Troutt. If the name is ringing a bell, she’s the one who finished second on Peter Weber’s season back in 2020. Madi, now 30, married Grant Troutt in 2022, and they welcomed their first child, Hosanna Rose, in January 2025. That’s a lot of life in a short window, which probably explains why their conversations have some real-world mileage.

Approaching 30 years of marriage

Candace and retired NHL player Valeri Bure met as teenagers and married in 1996. With their 30th anniversary landing in June, she calls what they have now — her word — magical. She joked that she won’t label it the golden years because it sounds, well, Golden Bachelor-adjacent, but the point stands: she says she loves him more today than she did when they were kids, which she didn’t even think was possible back then.

The big lesson she keeps coming back to

Candace’s relationship takeaway after nearly three decades: love harder. Her logic is straightforward — the people closest to us are the ones who catch the worst of our bad days, even though they’re the same ones who stand there for all the good days, too. So she’s trying to lead with more love, especially at home.

Family snapshot

• Kids: Natasha (27), Lev (26), and Maksim (24).
• Natasha married former Disney Channel star Bradley Steven Perry in September 2025.
• Lev married Elliot Dunham — Candace shared the news on Instagram in January 2024.

Easter at the Bure house

One more very on-brand Candace moment: she was buzzing about having all the kids and their spouses under one roof for Easter. She admitted she was literally waiting for Natasha and Bradley to arrive and getting teary just thinking about it. Cue the waterworks, but in the happy way. According to her, there’s nothing better than packing the house with her crew and Valeri.

So yes, she knows the algorithm loves a juicy clip. She also knows the real story — the full 45 minutes, the forgiveness at home, and the nearly 30 years of doing the work — doesn’t always fit in a headline.
