Who Is Candace’s Husband, Valeri Bure?
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.”
And in 2018, she revealed to the same outlet that their marriage was not perfect. “Marriage is a wonderful, beautiful thing but there’s always going to be tough times,” Candace said. “There’s no one that has this amazingly perfect marriage. … You just hang in there and stick with it.” The proud Christian also gushed that her busy travel schedule helps their relationship stay romantic, as the distance “makes the heart grow fonder.”
Do Candace & Valeri Have Kids?
Both Val and his wife are proud parents to a total of three children. Two years after Val and Candace said their “I do’s” they welcomed their first child, a daughter, Natasha Bure, 24, in 1998. Later, in 2000, Candace gave birth to their first son, Lev Valerievich, 22, and their second son, Maksim Valerievich, 20, was born two years later in 2002.
