I Just Found Out Christmas Movie Queens Danica McKellar And Candace Cameron Bure Were In A Love Triangle Decades Ago, And A Growing Pains Actor Was Involved

by

As someone who grew up watching these talented actors on TV, it’s fascinating to learn about their personal lives and the love triangle they were involved in decades ago. It’s a reminder that even stars have their share of teenage drama!

Danica McKellar and Candace Cameron Bure made headlines a few years back when they switched from Hallmark to GAF, but their friendship has endured beyond changes in networks throughout the years. The duo have been friends for decades, with Bure playing a role in McKellar’s religious journey; they’ve also collaborated on romantic comedies and Christmas films. However, their relationship had a rough start initially. Interestingly, I recently discovered that these TV stars were once embroiled in a love triangle, and a ‘Growing Pains’ cast member was part of it.

The Story Behind The Love Triangle Bure And McKellar Inadvertently Got Involved In

In the late ’80s, the television series “Growing Pains” was extremely popular. One of its stars, Jeremy Miller, was a teen at the time and knew both Bure and McKellar, and he also found himself attracted to both young women. Danica McKellar shared the story of how they became embroiled in a love triangle, which apparently involved a strategy that Miller seemed to be pursuing.

It seems that in 1989, a teen magazine hosted a party where “Growing Pains” actor Jeremy Miller, who was also young at the time, attended. I happened to be there too along with another person named Candace. Jeremy then asked me to be his girlfriend, and I happily agreed. However, it turned out later that Candace might have thought she and Jeremy were dating.

Jeremy, what an unexpected story! The actress clarified to Fox News that this tale, which she found “absolutely absurd,” occurred when they were both child stars, not as adults. It happened during meet-and-greets and other Hollywood events, with her being in middle school at the time. What makes it somewhat unsettling for her is that she didn’t discover until years later that he was dating two women at the same time.

As a film buff reminiscing, I must admit, years passed before I learned on Dancing with the Stars that she and Jeremy had been an item – a fact I was completely unaware of! My response? “What?” Indeed, Jeremy, such behavior isn’t commendable. Thankfully, our friendship with Candace remains strong and vibrant.

It’s worth noting that these two actresses have had numerous opportunities to work together, starting from their shared roles during their youth in shows like “Wonder Years” and “Full House.” Their paths continued to intersect, as they both participated in “Dancing with the Stars” in 2014. Although Bure took a significant acting hiatus, they both found themselves starring in films on Hallmark’s schedule in subsequent years. Interestingly, they both departed from Hallmark at around the same time and later joined the cast of Greenleaf (GAF). This transition happened after Hallmark began focusing more on inclusivity in its content.

Jeremy Miller Recalls This Story As Being More On The Up And Up

Although both women reminisce about their middle school years and feel they might have been somewhat deceived by the actor from Growing Pains, he mildly denies this. He shared the story with OWN previously, disclosing that he did date Candace Cameron Bure, but also became attracted to McKellar. However, there’s an important caveat:

Indeed, during those times, Candace and I used to be quite close, if you catch my drift? Our relationship didn’t progress beyond friendship though. We were both youngsters then. … You see, we often crossed paths on set; her family would visit while we were working on Growing Pains. Social gatherings related to the show, such as parties, were also common places for our encounters. … It was during this period that I met Danica. We were both participating in an event organized by Teen Beat Magazine. From day one, I found myself quite smitten with her. She was a few years older than me at the time and showed no signs of reciprocating my feelings. However, that didn’t stop me from pursuing her.

To put it simply, he unequivocally ended things with the “Full Actress” prior to courting TV’s beloved Winnie Cooper. Even though he was just 12 years old at the time and she was almost 14, he had a clever plan to ask her out. This intricate plan even involved Batman himself!

I ended things with Candace and moved on to Danica, but she showed no interest in me. Despite my youth, I had a sense of what I was doing. That year was 1988, and Batman was about to be released. I phoned my contacts at Warner Bros., asking them urgently for two tickets. To my delight, they arranged them for me. I invited her to attend the premiere with me, rented a limousine, and even picked her up personally.

In addition, he referred to Danica McKellar as his initial significant “courtship,” mentioning that with Bure, they were both quite young, making their encounters more about spending time together on each other’s sets, surrounded by parents and colleagues. Unlike this, McKellar and him could engage in real activities and enjoy private moments, such as sharing ice cream and lengthy conversations. However, he admitted that during that period, he may have hurt Candace’s feelings, potentially creating a “love triangle” situation.

Young love, amiright? The three have certainly all moved on in the time since, with Miller marrying a woman named Joanie he says lovely things about on Instagram. Candace Cameron Bure’s been married to former hockey player Val Bure since 1996 and they share three children together. Danica McKellar has been married to Scott Sveslosky since 2014 and has a child from her previous marriage to Mike Verta. Young love may not have lasted, but they all ended up doing pretty well for themselves.
