The photo in question, which Candace posted on Instagram and later shared on Facebook, showcases the lighthearted and romantic side of their nearly 20-year marriage. Despite the criticism, Candace refused to back down, instead embracing the opportunity to celebrate her loving relationship with her husband.
Candace and Valeri’s love story began in 1994, when they met at a hockey game. They started dating soon after and tied the knot on June 22, 1996. Throughout their marriage, they have made it a priority to nurture their relationship and find joy in each other’s company.
In response to the backlash, Candace addressed her critics with a mix of humor and sincerity. “If that offended you, I apologize,” she said in an Instagram story video. “But I’m not sorry. I’m happy that, even after all these years, we still have fun.” She proudly declared that, 24 years into their marriage, she is a “good and healthy married woman.”
Candace’s unwavering commitment to her marriage and her values is a testament to her strength and character. As she so eloquently put it, “I hope he does touch me whenever he wants to; he has that right.” By standing firm in the face of criticism, Candace Cameron Bure reminds us all of the importance of embracing love, joy, and authenticity in our lives.
