Candace Cameron Bure made a tearful confession about her husband, Valeri Bure, on Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test.
In a preview clip of the Thursday, October 15 episode, the former Full House child actress, now 50, admitted that she doesn’t feel like a leader, particularly in her 30-year marriage.
“It just was a disappointment,” Cameron Bure said, getting emotional. “Honestly, the more I keep thinking about this, I’m really good at taking directions. I’ve been taking direction my whole life just being a kid actor.
She continued, “And then I met my husband at 18, and he was 20. And my husband leads. He’s a professional athlete. He’s an Olympian. I live with an alpha; I am a beta.”
That’s when the tears came, and she smiled through the emotion.
“He does everything for me,” she pointed out. “Because he’s a good leader. He’s a good leader, and I realized today I don’t lead at all. I don’t feel confident in my voice.”
When asked what she was going to do about that, Cameron Bure replied, “I do have a spirit in me. And so, I just, at this age, really wanted to see if I could push it. Yeah, I want to step up.”
Cameron Bure married Val in 1996. After 30 years of marriage, they share a daughter, Natasha Bure, 28, and two sons, Lev Bure, 26, and Maksim Bure, 24. The former child actress also recently became a grandmother — times two! Natasha and her husband, Bradley Steven Perry, welcomed a daughter, Winnie, in early October, while Lev and his wife, Elliott Bure, welcomed a son, Bond, in August.
