John Stamos is thinking about when he closed the door on his romance with Lori Loughlin. Ahead of the release of her memoir If You’d Tell Me, the 60-year-old Full House alum revealed that her relationship with her co-star was “on the romantic side” before he decided on his way to love. Life takes hold.
In his book, he describes his relationship with Loughlin, 59, as “a true friend who deserves the foundation of a great and lasting relationship” and recalls the feelings that began to grow between them.
When he met his ex-girlfriend Rebecca Romijn, the two stars attended the 1994 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show after-party as friends. In an interview with InStyle, Stamos revealed that he knew he had a big decision to make: follow Loughlin or start a new career as a model.
“To me, it’s like…two Sandys from Grease!” he said. Stamos chose Romijn, who is now 50, and the former couple continued dating two months later and married in September 1998. (They announced their divorce in 2004 after six years of marriage.)
Did John Stamos and Lori Loughlin Date for Real?
Without a doubt, the most important question Jesse and Becky fans have is, “Did they ever date in real life?” Well, the answer depends on who you ask. Before playing TV’s most popular couple, John Stamos and Lori Loughlin co-starred in early ’80s soap operas, starring in “General Hospital” and “At the Edge of Night.”
“We were friends…and we actually dated,” Stamos told HuffPost about their pre-Full House days in 2013. “We went on a date at Disneyland…when we were 18 or 19.”
However, Loughlin claims that their romantic tryst was purely platonic in nature. “Well, she says it wasn’t a date or anything, but if she’s flirting on the Matterhorn, it’s a date, right?”
Stamos told BuzzFeed in 2017 that the actress said, “Why do we tell people how we got along on the Matterhorn?” And he says, “Because it sounds funny!” The real truth is that we’re too old to remember. I think it means it’s too much.
John Stamos and Romijn
As fans know, Stamos chose Romijn, and the couple started dating two months later. They got married in 1998 and divorced in the year 2004, after six years of marriage. “My first marriage broke my heart. I’ve been broke for a long time,” Stamos told People in October 2023. “I mean, a year, okay, okay. But this went on for years. ”
Stamos went on to tell the magazine that writing the chapter about his marriage to Romijn in the book was “very difficult” because it brought back the feelings he had at the time. “In my mind at the time, he was the devil, and I hated him,” he said. “I can’t believe how much I hate him; he’s ruined my life.”
He continued, “One of the steps in AA, the fourth step, is that you talk about all your grievances and all the things that people have done to you. He did blah, blah.’ And my sponsor said, ‘So, what did you do in that?’ And I was like, ‘Nothing.'”
Through Alcoholics Anonymous, Stamos realized he had “work to do” when his marriage to Romijn failed. “You start thinking, ‘Oh, he’s not the devil. “Maybe it’s my fault,” he said.
Although Stamos and Loughlin have never dated, they have been friends for over three decades. Loughlin was married to her first husband, Michael Burns, from 1989 to 1996. In 1997, she married her second husband, Mossimo Giannulli. They have two children: Olivia Jade and Isabella Rose.
The College Admissions Scandal
Lori Loughlin and her husband, fashion designer Mossimo Giannulli, are accused of being involved in a $25 million college admissions scam in which they paid $500,000 in bribes to get their two daughters into the University of Southern California. He was indicted on suspicion of it.
In a profile of John Stamos in GQ in September 2019, the actor was asked about Loughlin’s involvement in the bribery scandal. “We have to be careful. We want to wait and discuss whether there will be a trial, whether there will be a trial, or whatever the outcome is,” he said. “I can say that there was one thing that was strange.
Honestly, I don’t get it. Has no meaning. I talked to her in the morning, and it all happened. I still can’t process it,” Stamos added. “I’m convinced that whatever happened if there was a crime, the punishment doesn’t fit the crime.”
Unlike actress Felicity Huffman, who admitted her role in “Operation Varsity Blues” and was sentenced to 14 days in jail, Ms. Loughlin and her husband rejected a plea deal and maintained her innocence and maintained her innocence.
