Dave Coulier Celebrates Grandfatherhood and Cancer Remission
Actor Dave Coulier, known for his role in “Full House,” recently experienced a momentous day, receiving news of two significant life events simultaneously. The 65-year-old performer learned he had become a grandfather on the very same day he received confirmation of his successful battle against Stage 3 non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. This uplifting announcement was shared on a recent episode of the “How Rude, Tanneritos!” podcast, co-hosted by his former “Full House” colleagues Jodie Sweetin and Andrea Barber.
Double Dose of Good News for Dave Coulier
Coulier, celebrated for his portrayal of Uncle Joey, disclosed the heartwarming coincidence, stating, “I received the wonderful news on the day my grandson was born.” He elaborated on the joyous occasion, “I was overwhelmed with excitement upon hearing the news initially, and shortly after, my son Luc contacted us to announce the arrival of the baby. It was truly an extraordinary day.”
Reflecting on the overwhelming joy, the “Fuller House” alumnus added, “It was truly amazing, an incredible convergence of events.”
Welcome to the World, Chance Lee Coulier
Luc Coulier, 34, and his wife Alex welcomed their son, Chance Lee, on March 27th, according to reports. The comedian described his new grandson as a “healthy” and “wonderful little baby,” anticipating meeting him later in the month. Dave Coulier mentioned, “He weighed 7 pounds, 6 ounces,” and expressed plans to see him soon, noting the distance between their locations, “We are currently in Michigan, while they are in Sacramento.”
A Touch of Humor Amidst the Joyous News
The stand-up comedian also recounted a lighthearted moment where he joked about his grandson’s birth in the family group chat, which initially fell flat. Coulier humorously recalled, “Amidst the emotional and tearful texts following the birth, I sent a message saying, ‘I cannot wait to see that kid’s expression after he pulls my finger for the first time.’ It was met with silence, a clear indication that my joke had missed the mark.”

However, the comedic pause was short-lived as his son later responded with appreciation for the gag, showing that the humor was eventually well-received. “I just got that,” Luc replied, acknowledging the joke.
Cancer-Free Milestone Achieved
March 27th held dual significance for Coulier as it marked his triumph over cancer. He received confirmation that he was 100% cancer-free following a period of treatment for Stage 3 non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. His initial diagnosis was in October 2024, and he officially announced his remission on April 1st.
Gratitude and Advocacy for Early Detection
Earlier this month, Coulier expressed his gratitude, stating, “I want to extend heartfelt thanks to family, friends, and fans for their continuous prayers, affection, and encouragement throughout my emotional journey with cancer.”
He further emphasized the importance of preventative health measures, adding, “I will continue to encourage everyone to schedule regular check-ups with doctors and get early screenings such as breast exams, colonoscopies, and prostate exams.”
Facing Mortality and Finding Strength
Despite the support from his “Full House” and “Fuller House” family during his five-month cancer battle, Coulier revealed he had come to terms with the possibility of death after his fifth chemotherapy session.
His wife, Melissa Bring, 41, shared the emotional toll the treatment had taken before Coulier’s remission was announced. “After chemo, he expressed uncertainty about enduring further treatment,” she recounted. “He conveyed that he was prepared for either outcome, ‘If I die, I die. And if I can stay here, wonderful. I want to.'”
Melissa Bring concluded by acknowledging the gravity of those conversations during a challenging time, “Those discussions were understandably incredibly difficult.”
