Candace Cameron Bure is no stranger to public scrutiny — but this time, she’s taking it all in stride.
The beloved Full House actress recently faced criticism after sharing a playful photo with her husband, former hockey pro Valeri Bure. Some followers found the picture — where Valeri affectionately placed his hand on her chest — a bit too “racy” for someone known as a Christian celebrity.
But Candace isn’t apologizing. In fact, she’s doubling down.
The couple, who met in 1994 and married two years later, have built a relationship full of love, faith, and a little fun. After more than 20 years together, Candace says they’re still keeping the spark alive — and she’s proud of it.
Responding to the backlash, Candace posted the picture again and laughed it off in her Instagram stories:
“Sorry if it offended you… I’m actually not sorry,” she said, smiling. “I’m glad that we have fun together after so many years.”
She went on to explain that she was simply celebrating a “good and healthy marriage,” something she’s grateful for after 24 years with Valeri.
“It makes me laugh because it’s my husband,” she said. “He can touch me any time he wants — and I hope he does!”
In a world quick to judge, Candace’s joyful defense of her marriage is a refreshing reminder that love, laughter, and affection are nothing to be ashamed of — even after decades together.
