Candace Cameron Bure doesn't want to be a "pushy" mother-in-law.

The 48-year-old actress has Natasha, 26, sons Lev, 24, and Maksim, 22, with husband Valeri Bure and after her middle son tied the knot with his long-term girlfriend in January 2024, she has insisted that she wants to defy the negative stereotypes that can sometimes surround the mother of the bride or groom.

She told Today.com: "I strive to be a mother-in-love. I very much want to be a complement to my children's marriages. We always hear, 'Ugh, the mother-in-law' and we roll our eyes. Mothers-in-laws get a bad rap -- and there's a lot of bad mother-in-laws out there!

"I love my daughter-in-law. She's so wonderful. I don't want to be pushy or put pressure on anyone. I just want to be here to encourage, support and love. "And hopefully, if or when they have kids, to be a great, helpful grandmother."

Candace previously revealed that while she "cannot wait" to become a grandmother, she is happy to wait until the time is right.

 

She told UsWeekly: "I can't wait until I have them, but I'm definitely not pushing them. They've been married less than a year. Whatever their timing is is great with us."

The former 'Full House' star is also hopeful that when a little one does arrive, she will eventually share her nickname with the American word often associated with the delivery of candy or sweets on a special occasion, although the other members of her family aren't so keen on the moniker.

She said: "I'm defending my grandma name. Nobody likes it except me and I wanted to be Candy Gram

"I just thought that was cute. My son doesn't think so. I think he's like, 'You're just sticking with Grandma Candace.' I'm like, 'OK.' Maybe Grammy. Something like that, I don't know."
