Double Dose of Joy: Dave Coulier's Incredible Day of Milestones!

In a heartwarming twist of fate, comedian and actor Dave Coulier recently celebrated two monumental life milestones on the same unforgettable day!

At 65, the beloved 'Full House' star shared the joyous news that not only has he conquered cancer, but he's also become a grandfather! This remarkable day was April 18, a date Coulier recounts with newfound joy on the podcast 'How Rude, Tanneritos!' hosted by his former co-stars Jodie Sweetin and Andrea Barber.

Coulier's cancer-health journey took a positive turn just days before this life-affirming moment. Having battled Stage 3 non-Hodgkin lymphoma since late last year, he learned he was cancer-free shortly after his son Luc, 34, and daughter-in-law Alex welcomed their healthy baby boy, Chance Lee, on March 27.

"I was on cloud nine! The news of the baby’s birth and my health coincided perfectly," Coulier exclaimed. "It felt like a miracle, like the universe threw me a double celebration!"

Chance, weighing in at 7 pounds and 6 ounces, is described by Coulier as a "great little baby," and he eagerly anticipates meeting him soon. "We’re finally visiting them in Sacramento after being apart!"

However, in true Coulier humor, he admitted to possibly dampening the moment with a corny joke in the family group chat right after the announcement of Chance's arrival. After sharing a lighthearted quip about pulling his finger—which went unacknowledged—he joked, "I think I might have killed the moment!" But his son replied with a simple, "I just got that," lightening the mood.

Coulier’s candid reflections on his health journey provide insight into the challenges he faced during treatment. After initially noticing troubling symptoms following a respiratory infection, he was diagnosed in November 2024, leading to a whirlwind of surgeries and chemotherapy.

In a recent update, Coulier spoke about the toll of intensive treatment, sharing, "It’s hard not to think about mortality during such times." Yet, he faced his struggles with remarkable resilience and support from his loved ones.

His wife Melissa's insistence on seeking medical advice during a particularly challenging bout of illness ultimately helped him recover. She reminded him to prioritize his health, even when he felt like giving up.

Coulier also addressed controversial moments involving his longtime friend and co-star John Stamos, expressing that their humor during tough times was misunderstood. "We weren't making fun; we were just trying to find laughter in the struggle," he clarified.

Despite the challenges, Coulier's story is one of hope and celebration. With new life and renewed health, he embodies resilience and the power of family—an inspiring reminder that joy can shine even in the darkest times.
