Reunions with her old TV family provided comfort, first through Fuller House and then on the set of Hallmark films, and she even competed on Dancing with the Stars, falling in love along the way.
“We met through mutual friends years ago and we reconnected a little over two years ago. It’s been really good ever since,” she shared about her current husband, Mescal Wasilewski, a clinical social worker.
The couple tied the knot in 2022, and at the time, life seemed absolutely perfect.
“Married life is amazing,” the actress said, “I couldn’t be happier.”
Heartbreak and goodbye
But one shadow loomed over her happiness: a personal tragedy hit when she lost her former TV dad, Bob Saget. She honored him at her wedding with a poignant nod: “I like kissed the shirt and I was like, ‘Bob’s here too.’”
She also paid tribute to her late co-star on Instagram. The actress wrote:
”I’ll make sure and tell an inappropriate joke at your funeral. In your honor. I know you would’ve wanted that. But you were supposed to be here longer … How Rude.”
Today, her activism has shaped much of her adult life. From standing up for reproductive rights to supporting the LGBTQ+ community, she has never shied away from speaking her truth.
And she continues to dream. When asked about a reboot, she pitched an idea inspired by The Golden Girls — and cheekily called it Fullest House.
”It’s great because I’m getting to work with the writers and the creators of the show. They had an idea of where she’s gone and what she’s been doing, and I’ve gotten to fill in the rest,” the 90’s icon said in an interview with Backstage.
From child star to survivor, from TV icon to advocate, this woman’s journey is a testament to resilience, humor, and heart.
Of course, longtime fans already know her as Jodie Sweetin — the unforgettable Stephanie Tanner of Full House and Fuller House.
