Jodie Sweetin is setting the record straight, declaring that there is no disagreement between her and Full House co-star Candace Cameron Bure, but that does not mean they see eye to eye. Three years after voicing her support for LGBTQ+ rights in a move that indirectly challenged Bure’s stance on “traditional” values, Jodie is clarifying their current relationship.
During a recent interview on The Vault with Monica & Amir, the 42-year-old actress revisited the news surrounding her and Candace, especially after Candace launched the Great American Family network aimed at spotlighting “traditional marriage” in its storytelling. While some assumed a public fallout between the former co-stars, Jodie insists that is not the truth.
Jodie Sweetin and Candace Cameron Bure’s relationship
Jodie likened their relationship to that of distant family members, someone you have known forever but choose to avoid discussing some issues with. “We don’t talk politics, and we don’t argue,” she said. “But that doesn’t mean I’ll stay quiet about what I believe.” She further revealed that their differences have become more visible over the years, but there has never been a dramatic confrontation. In Jodie’s words, they “exist in very different worlds.”
This began when JoJo Siwa called out Candace in 2022 for remarks dismissing same-sex couples, and Jodie supported JoJo. She later shared that speaking up is less about picking sides and more about using her platform purposefully. Even her post about trans athletes that fans believed was directed at Candace turned out to be unintentional.
From TV sisters to separate paths
Their history as Stephanie and D.J. Tanner is unshakable, and Jodie acknowledges the bond that comes from growing up on-screen together. But like many relationships that begin in childhood, theirs has evolved and, in this case, diverged. Jodie still stands by the belief. “I’ll be kind,” she said, “but I won’t be quiet.”
While they may never fully align on core values, a mutual understanding has allowed them to coexist peacefully, if from a distance. As Jodie put it, it is not about hate but about holding space for both to express and defend their beliefs.
