Dave Coulier’s house has gotten a little bit fuller.
The “Full House” star, 65, recently revealed that he learned he became a grandfather on the same day he learned he had beaten his battle with Stage 3 non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma.
Coulier shared the exciting news on Saturday’s episode of the “How Rude, Tanneritos!” podcast with two of his former “Full House” co-stars, Jodie Sweetin (Stephanie Tanner) and Andrea Barber (Kimmy Gibbler).
“I got the good news the day the baby was born,” the Uncle Joey actor said. “So I heard the news and I was so excited, and then Luc called us and he said, ‘Hey, the baby just was born.’ And so, I mean, it was an amazing day.”
“It was really amazing, you know?” the “Fuller House” star added. “So we were like, ‘Oh, this is just too much!'”
Coulier’s 34-year-old son, Luc, welcomed his baby son, Chance Lee, with his wife, Alex, on March 27, per People. The comedian described his grandson as a “healthy” and “great little baby” whom he plans to see later this month.
“He’s 7 pounds, 6 ounces, and we will see him, I think, in 12 days,” Coulier said over the weekend. “Because we’re in Michigan and they’re out in Sacramento.”
But the stand-up comic also said that he may have “killed the moment” by sharing a bad joke in the Coulier family group chat following the news of his grandson’s birth.
“I said to my son – everybody was teary-eyed and everything and texting when the baby was born – and I said, ‘I cannot wait to see that kid’s expression on his face after he pulls my finger for the first time,'” he recalled. “And there was just like, no one responded. It’s like, ‘Okay. I killed the moment.'”
Luckily, his son texted him back shortly after to show some appreciation for the joke.
“I just got that,” Luc responded.
March 27 was also an “amazing” day for Coulier because it was the same day he learned that he was 100% cancer-free following a short battle with Stage 3 non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma.
The former “America’s Funniest People” host was diagnosed with cancer in October 2024, and he announced that he was cancer-free on April 1.
“I’d like to give a heartfelt thank you to family, friends and fans for their continued prayers, love and support throughout my emotional roller coaster ride through cancer,” Coulier said earlier this month.
“I will continue to encourage others to check in with doctors to get early screenings like breast exams, colonoscopies and prostate exams,” he added.
Although his former “Full House” and “Fuller House” co-stars provided much-needed support amid his five-month cancer battle, Coulier admitted that he was “prepared to die” after his fifth round of chemotherapy.
“After chemo, he was like, ‘I don’t know if I could do this again,’” Coulier’s wife, Melissa Bring, 41, said shortly before the comedian was declared cancer-free. “He was like, ‘I’m prepared either way. If I die, I die. And if I can stay here, great. I want to.’”
“Those conversations were obviously so tough,” she added at the time.
