The couple first met in 1994 and quickly became one of Hollywood’s most recognizable pairs. After dating for several years, they married in 1998. Their marriage lasted until 2005, when they officially divorced. Looking back, Stamos admitted that recovering from the breakup took much longer than he expected, emphasizing that healing from heartbreak is rarely a quick process.
