Candace Cameron Bure Wild Confessions About Sex, Marriage, Valeri Bure
As the whole word was social distancing during the COVID-19 pandemic, Cameron was feeling a growing chasm between her and Val, the former NHL right winger she wed in 1996.
“It was going south quickly,” the mom to Natasha, Lev and Maksim shared during a July 2025 episode of her eponymous podcast. “And I was like, ‘I don’t know. I don’t know if we’re gonna make it through.'”
But an unexpected bible study proved to be the answer to their prayers. “Lev came up to us and said, ‘We’d like to talk to you guys,'” Candace recounted of her second born. “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 credits his reminder that they’ve got it, dude, with helping them salvage their union. “He was just such a calm voice that had so much wisdom behind it,” the Fuller House star explained. “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.'”
A “pivotal moment” in their marriage, 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?'”
