John Stamos and Caitlin McHugh have a marriage built on love, humor, and mutual respect—and they’re not afraid to joke about it. Married since 2018, the couple shares an adorable 6-year-old son, Billy, and a knack for keeping their relationship down-to-earth amidst the glitz of Hollywood. In a recent interview, McHugh reflected on their family life, her return to acting, and how humor plays a role in their happily-ever-after.
When asked about the secret to her successful marriage with Stamos, McHugh gave a lighthearted response that showcased her wit: “There's a lot of good communication and stuff,” she joked in an interview with Fox News Digital. “But really, I wonder if it's just that he went through everyone else already. I was the last one."
Before settling down, the beloved "Full House" star had high-profile relationships with stars like Paula Abdul, Denise Richards, and Rebecca Romijn, to whom he was married from 1998 to 2004. But with McHugh, it seems Stamos finally found his forever.
The couple welcomed their son Billy in 2018, and McHugh describes parenting the now 6-year-old as a “wonderful” experience, though not without its challenges. Reflecting on the toddler years, she joked about being on “suicide-murder watch” as Billy navigated the chaos of being a curious child.
Now, as Billy grows older, McHugh cherishes their deepening bond. “He’s like my little buddy and best friend,” she said. “We can have deep conversations, but he’ll still come and fart in my face. He’s hilarious.”
Billy, described as a blend of his parents with a personality all his own, is already making waves with his charm and humor. Whether it’s entertaining classmates or excelling in basketball, Billy’s natural charisma and zest for life echo the talents of his famous dad.
In addition to parenting and running her nonprofit, podcast, and bracelet company, McHugh recently stepped out of her acting hiatus for the horror-comedy film "The Invisible Raptor." A playful spoof of the "Jurassic Park" series, the film was written with McHugh in mind, and she couldn’t resist the opportunity to bring laughter to audiences.
“I just want everyone to lose weight in the audience from laughing,” she joked. While McHugh enjoyed her return to the screen, she’s clear about her priorities. “I’m back in retirement after this,” she said, adding that she’d only consider coming back for a potential sequel.
Though McHugh may have stepped back from Hollywood, her life is anything but quiet. Between her creative projects, nonprofit work, and family life, she finds fulfillment in her many roles. “One actor—or one-and-a-half little actors—in our house is plenty,” she joked, referring to Billy’s budding talent for entertainment.
For McHugh and Stamos, life is a mix of love, laughter, and a shared commitment to cherishing every moment as a family. Whether they’re navigating Hollywood, parenting, or planning their next adventure, their bond is a testament to the joy that comes from embracing life together—with a healthy dose of humor along the way.
