Candace Cameron Bure has been under significant media scrutiny recently, primarily due to comments about “traditional marriage,” which sparked mixed reactions among her fans. Now, a recent photo of the actress and her husband, Valeri Bure, is causing a stir.
Candace met Valeri, a former hockey player, at a game in 1994. They started dating that year and tied the knot on June 22, 1996. Despite being married for nearly 20 years, the couple makes an effort to keep their love alive and spend quality time together.
Recently, Candace shared a playful glimpse of their marriage on Instagram, which elicited a strong reaction from her followers. Some fans perceived her lighthearted post as disrespectful. However, instead of backing down, Candace doubled down by sharing the photo on her Facebook page.
The two images she posted highlighted the “sweet and spicy” nature of her relationship with Valeri. In one photo, Valeri has his arm around Candace’s shoulder, while in the other, his hand is on her chest.
Many fans criticized the photo, calling it inappropriate for a ‘Christian celebrity’ of her stature. Candace responded to the backlash with a video on her Instagram stories, saying, “I’m sorry if that offended you… I’m not sorry.” She emphasized that she was happy they still have fun after all these years of marriage.
Candace, reflecting on their 24-year marriage, stated that the photos were a testament to a “good and healthy marriage.” She highlighted the strength and longevity of her relationship, recognizing the photos as a representation of the deep bond she shares with her husband.
In a subsequent Instagram story, Candace added, “It makes me laugh because it’s my husband. He has the right to touch me whenever he wants, and I hope he does.” This statement underscores the comfort and trust within their marriage, where physical affection is welcomed and encouraged.
Despite the controversy that may have arisen, Candace remains unapologetic in her celebration of her marriage. She continues to share her perspective and experiences with her audience, demonstrating her unwavering commitment to her partner and their life together.
