John Stamos is surrounded by loved ones as he celebrates a significant milestone.
The beloved star from Full House took to social media to share a heartfelt tribute honoring his son Billy on his 7th birthday. The post not only highlighted Billy’s growth but also included a heartfelt acknowledgment of his partner in parenting, his wife Caitlin McHugh Stamos, who plays a crucial role in their son’s life.
“Today our Billy boy turns 7. SEVEN. A magical, chaotic, hilarious, action-packed, deep-feeling, big-hearted SEVEN,” John expressed in an Instagram post on April 10. “And while it’s a day to celebrate the joy he brings into the world (and man, does he ever), it’s also a day to celebrate someone else: His mom.”
For the star of General Hospital, Caitlin is celebrated as the “real hero” on this important occasion, showcasing the pivotal role she plays in their family dynamic.
“Because seven years ago, she did all the work. The real work,” John elaborated. “The growing-a-whole-human-inside-her-body work. The nine months of sacrifice, nausea, back pain, no-sleep, all-love work. The labor that turned her body inside out and her heart wide open.” His admiration for Caitlin reflects the deep respect he holds for the challenges of motherhood.
But John’s appreciation extends beyond the moment of childbirth. The 61-year-old actor pointed out that Caitlin, at 38, has been an unwavering support throughout “the recovery, the healing, the nursing, the nights without sleep” and “the years without rest” as they navigated parenthood together.
