Candace Cameron Bure Says Goodbye to L.A.: Why She Chose Small-Town Life Over Hollywood

EXCLUSIVE: Candace Cameron Bure Ditches LA's Chaos for Peaceful Small-Town Life

In a shocking move, beloved actress and TV personality Candace Cameron Bure is packing up her bags and leaving behind the glitz and glamour of Los Angeles! The Full House star, who rose to fame in the 80s as DJ Tanner, has been vocal about her desire to escape the chaos of the big city for a more laid-back lifestyle.

"I still love SoCal, but L.A. is certainly not the same since growing up there, especially after 2020," Candace revealed in an exclusive Q&A session on Instagram, where she boasts an impressive 5.7 million followers. The actress, now 49, has been candid about her struggles with the rapid changes in Los Angeles, citing a loss of community and sense of belonging.

So, what's drawing Candace to this new chapter? For starters, she's fallen head over heels for small-town life! "I love living in a smaller town where people really do know your name," she gushed, sharing a photo of her current home. But it's not just the locals that have won her heart – it's also the sense of safety and tranquility that comes with leaving behind the city's noise and pollution.

When asked about what sparked this decision, Candace pointed to the drastic changes in Los Angeles since 2020. "It's just not the same place I grew up in," she said, echoing sentiments shared by many other celebrities who have left or are planning to leave LA. The once-thriving metropolis has become a haven for woke ideologies and progressive policies that Candace doesn't identify with.

As it turns out, Candace isn't the only member of her family making waves in their personal lives. Her husband, former NHL player Valeri Bure, 51, is also keeping busy – after all, they're gearing up to celebrate their 30th anniversary next year! The couple tied the knot on June 22, 1996, and have been inseparable ever since.

Candace took a stroll down memory lane in a recent post, reminiscing about their romantic milestones. "31 years ago, we went on our first official date at his practice rink in Fredericton, New Brunswick," she recalled, sharing an adorable photo from the time. And if that wasn't sweet enough, she also shared how her Full House co-star Dave Coulier introduced them at a charity hockey game in LA four months prior!

But what about their fitness journey? Candace has been keeping up with fans on her podcast, where she dishes out advice on lifestyle, family, and faith. When asked about her workout regimen, she revealed that she's increased her weightlifting program to lifting heavy weights four times a week! She also does cardio twice a week and fine-tunes regularly – all while working out with her husband.

When it comes to her fitness goals, Candace is nothing if not ambitious. "I've been super consistent the past year," she said, beaming with pride, "and I'm finally seeing the changes I wanted." And those who follow her closely can attest that she's looking more toned than ever!

As for what the future holds, we can't help but wonder: will Candace's family join her in this new chapter? Her kids, Natasha (27), Lev (25), and Maksim (23), have been growing up with their parents in LA – but could they be next to follow their mom's lead?

One thing's for sure: Candace Cameron Bure is trading in the glamour of Tinseltown for a quieter life in the countryside. Will she find happiness in this new chapter? Only time will tell, but one thing's clear – we're rooting for her all the way!
