Why John Stamos’ Wife Caitlin McHugh Is the “Real Hero” of Son Billy’s 7th Birthday
John Stamos has a full house of people to celebrate.
The Full House alum shared a heartwarming message in honor of his son Billy turning 7—and the tribute included a special lengthy shoutout to his partner in raising his growing boy: his wife Caitlin McHugh Stamos.
“Today our Billy boy turns 7. SEVEN. A magical, chaotic, hilarious, action-packed, deep-feeling, big-hearted SEVEN,” John wrote in an Instagram post 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 General Hospital star, Caitlin is the “real hero” of Billy’s important day.
“Because seven years ago, she did all the work. The real work,” John explained. “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.”
And it’s not just giving birth that has impressed the actor. John, 61, noted that Caitlin, 38, was a trooper throughout “the recovery, the healing, the nursing, the nights without sleep” and “the years without rest” as well.
