Stamos also spoke to PEOPLE last summer aboutlife at home with his little boy, calling his family of three a “dream come true,” especially considering the actor once believed having a family wasn’t in the cards.

“I always wanted to have kids, but I didn’t think I’d meet the right person,” Stamos recalled. “And maybe I felt like well, I have everything, I shouldn’t be greedy.”

Ultimately, Stamos said he attributes finding his wife to “straightening up my life.” Said the actor: “I wasn’t deserving of it yet I think. But six years ago, I sobered up and I became a better person. And when Caitlin came around, I recognized it immediately. I said, ‘I have to be good for that to make it work.’ "
