Jodie Sweetin and John Stamos Bond Over Sobriety

Jodie Sweetin praised her former Full House co-star for supporting her during her sobriety journey.

She played precocious Stephanie Tanner - and Stamos portrayed her uncle Jesse Katsopolis - on the ABC sitcom that ran from 1987 to 1995 and its follow-up Fuller House that aired from 2016 to 2020. Their bond has only strengthened over the years.

During an appearance on the Dory Jackson Interview, the actress, 44, spoke about how she leaned on Stamos, 62, during the toughest time of her life after she decided to get sober. In the past, he has credited her for helping him achieve sobriety as well.

'John and I really, really connected in a lot of ways over that,' Sweetin told Jackson.

'We have been there to celebrate each other’s big successes and milestones, and I am so glad that I got to be an example of attraction rather than promotion, which is a big principle in recovery.'

Sweetin, who made in March, has been forthcoming in the past about her past struggles with addiction, and has been alcohol-free since 2011. She first got sober in her 20s but experienced a brief relapse until she found lasting recovery. She has since celebrated 15 years of sobriety.

Stamos has also struggled with alcohol addiction, a journey he documented in his 2023 memoir If You Would Have Told Me.

The actor battled depression and used drinking to cope with the loss of his parents and a divorce – he was previously married to model and actress Rebecca Romijn, who has been happily wed to actor Jerry O’Connell since 2007.

Stamos entered rehab following a DUI arrest in Beverly Hills in 2015, which he later described as a terrifying wake-up call on the Today show, and has been sober since.

Sweetin continues to act and also co-hosts the podcast How Rude, Tanneritos! alongside Andrea Barber; pictured on The Skinny Confidential Podcast in November 2025
