• The “Fuller House” star John Stamos is sick and praises his wife for caring for their son.

• The actor shared his thoughts about having his son in his 50s.

• “Sick” John recently had another health scare a week after his 58th birthday.

John Stamos became a first-time father at age 54, announcing the news on his Instagram account. The “Fuller House” star revealed that on April 10, 2018, at 8:32 p.m., his wife, Caitlin McHugh, gave birth to a son.

William “Billy” Christopher Stamos was born in Los Angeles, with his father sharing a picture of him snuggling on his chest. The actor revealed that the boy’s first name was a tribute to his late father.

John noted that from that point forward, his “best part” would always be his son and wife. The star also had advice for people who were trying to have children later in life or first-time parents sharing how fear was expected and shouldn’t stop people from taking that step, saying:

“If men in their mid-50s are afraid of taking it on, I hope I’m setting an example. It’s a little harder because he runs faster than I do, but other than that, it’s the greatest thing in my life. I’m so happy I did it.”

The “Big Shot” actor recalled how he’d always wanted to have children but hadn’t thought he’d meet the right person to do it with. He convinced himself that he had everything anyway and shouldn’t be greedy.

Luckily for him, McHugh was “an incredible mom,” but the couple tried to have romantic nights together whenever they could. John said the sleepless nights and chaos that came with having a child, four in 2022, and his father’s lookalike, was what he’d always wanted, adding:

“My dreams came true 100 times over.”

Sadly, the actor wasn’t feeling too good toward the end of 2022. However, he was lucky to have someone who continued looking after his son and ensured he was doing better too.

Why Is John Sick and What Did He Say About His Wife?

On November 8, 2022, John shared an Instagram photo of him and his wife posing in what looked like their kitchen. McHugh smiled softly as she stood closer to the camera, wearing a brown top.

On the other hand, John was dressed in a red and white cap and what looked like a pajama top. In the caption, the star left a hashtag explaining how the post was meant to be an appreciation for McHugh.

He shared how his wife was an example of someone who put their money where their mouth was. John said he’d been home sick and didn’t explain his ailment but shared that the actress was handling everything for them.

The star shared how McHugh was in Michigan over the weekend before returning home so she could take their son to school. She also went to an audition, voted and canvassed, and had dinner with some people and a representative.

John explained that his post wasn’t just for him to brag about his wife but a way for him to let McHugh know that he was proud of her. He urged his fans to post the people they valued and to tell them, especially mothers.

The star said mothers needed to feel and hear their gratitude and appreciation. However, before sharing the post about being sick, the actor suffered a medical emergency not long after celebrating his birthday.

What Was Stamos’s Recent Health Scare?

On August 19, 2021, McHugh shared a lovely clip of past and present memories with her husband. She revealed the star was celebrating his 58th birthday and had managed to make his aging stop!

The actress wished him the “best time” on the road with The Beach Boys and urged anyone who saw him to wish him a Happy Birthday. A few days later, on August 27, 2021, John shared two Instagram images of him at a hospital.

He explained how he’d gone in for a quick and straightforward elective procedure, which was meant to be a fast process. However, the doctors admitted him for a trigger finger, but he promised to be up and running as he was getting good care.

He thanked his fans for their good wishes more than a week after he’d celebrated his birthday. According to E! News, the trigger finger medical condition occured when a thumb or finger was locked up in a bent position, usually from excessive use.

It often got resolved through time and rest, but some severe cases needed surgery “to alleviate the inflamed tendon.” The condition might’ve affected John as he often performed as a drummer for The Beach Boys.
