Although Candace herself is extremely famous, her husband, Valeri Bure, 48, has some notoriety for his work as well. Aside from being a devoted husband, Val is also a former pro ice hockey right winger. The athlete played for a total of 10 seasons in the National Hockey League and was a player for several teams including the Montreal Canadiens, Calgary Flames, Florida Panthers, St. Louis Blues, and Dallas Stars.
Valeri was born on June 13, 1974, in Moscow, Russia, making him Russian-American. His father, Vladimir Bure, was also a pro athlete, as he was a freestyle swimmer and a fitness coach for the New Jersey Devils of the NHL. His mother is Tatiana Bure, and there is little publicly known about her. Val has only one sibling, a brother named Pavel Bure, 51, who is also a former pro hockey player.
When Did They Get Married?
Valeri and Candace got married at the young age of 22 and 20, respectively. When Candace and her hubby tied the knot, the year was 1996, and it had only been one year after Full House had come to a close. The blonde beauty has spoken publicly about Valeri and their relationship several times, including calling him “bold” during a 2019 interview with US Weekly. “He makes me laugh a lot, which is a very good quality,” she said at the time. “He’s just such a bold person. We always have interesting conversations. I love his passion and his strength so very much. He’s so supportive of me and our children.” Articles Trending Now
