Great American Family star and former “Dancing With the Stars” finalist Candace Cameron Bure is celebrating one of television’s most beloved romances. The actress shared a collection of never-before-seen photos featuring Scott Weinger, affectionately calling him her “forever TV husband” in a heartfelt anniversary tribute that delighted longtime “Full House” fans.
Special Anniversary Post
The former “Full House” star marked a special anniversary by sharing a collection of never-before-seen photos featuring her longtime friend and on-screen love interest. Of course, Weinger famously played Steve Hale on the beloved ‘90s sitcom.
Bure shared a series of candid snapshots on her Instagram, which spanned decades. She also shared a heartfelt message dedicated to Weinger.
The caption read, Happy anniversary to my longest dating fake boyfriend and forever TV husband, @scottweinger! Steejay forever! 😍”
Of course, Bure was referencing the fan-favorite relationship between D.J. Tanner and Steve Hale.
Fans Go Wild
This nostalgic post from Bure quickly drew attention from fans who have followed the pair’s friendship since the 1990s.
One fan wrote, “Oh my gosh I love that we’ve all been along for this entire ride!🙌❤️😍,” while another added, “Y’all made the cutest TV couple!,” and a third fan added, “STEEJ FOREVER❤️.”
Some fans were bringing up those ‘90s references, as this person wrote, “I feel like the old picture of you two was a poster in a pop magazine lol. So cool that you guys have had such a long stretch of playing these roles together.”
The love continued, as this fan wrote, “This makes my heart happy. Love this friendship and fake dating relationship! ❤️,” and this one added, “Love Steejay! 😍 Lowkey wish we could have seen a baby Steejay.”
A TV Romance Fans Never Forgot About
It’s crazy to think it’s been over 30 years since these characters were introduced to us. Weinger joined “Full House” during the show’s fifth season in 1991 as D.J. Tanner’s boyfriend.
It soon became one of the most beloved storylines on the show. Fans combined their names into the nickname “Steejay,” hence what Bure referenced in her post today.
While Steejay went through some ups and downs while the show aired, their chemistry on the show made them one of television’s most memorable teen couples.
Years later, the pair reunited on Netflix’s “Fuller House,” and their romance picked right back up. Even though there was a complicated love triangle storyline, fans finally got the ending they all wanted when D.J. and Steve married during the series finale.
Not only did Bure’s anniversary post celebrate their fictional relationship, but it also celebrated the decades-long friendship she and Weinger have maintained behind the scenes.
