John Stamos – Viewed Ex-Wife As The ‘Devil’
Full House alum John Stamos just penned a memoir, If You Would Have Told Me, set for release this month.
And the actor describes the roller-coaster ride he experienced in his marriage to Rebecca Romijn, 50. But Stamos, 60, admitted to People that his first marriage left him “shattered for way too long, too.”
And he explained what he meant. “I mean, a year, okay, good,” said John about the time needed to recover from a divorce. “But it went on [for] years and years.” As a result, the Full House alum found it “really difficult” to pen his feelings about his marriage falling apart.

And Stamos confessed, “In my mind back then, she was the Devil, and I just hated her. I couldn’t believe how much I hated her, and it ruined my life. Looking back, and I talk about it [in the book], because it’s one of the steps in AA where the fourth step is you lay out all your grievances, everything that people did to you. I go like, ‘None’.”
John Stamos – Shoulders His Share Of Blame
However, the Full House alum finally accepted that he played “some part” in the end of his first marriage. And Stamos recalled, “You start thinking, it’s like, ‘Oh, she wasn’t the Devil. Maybe I was as much to blame as her’.”
However, John has not seen Romijn since they met with their divorce lawyers. And he believes that his ex-wife tried “to make it work because she cared” about him before the divorce. But the “very public” divorce felt “very painful,” shared Stamos.

And he noted, “I didn’t write much about that. But it’s hard,” he added. “It was very much the opinion that she dumped me because her career was going great and mine wasn’t, and that’s humiliating. I don’t blame her for it. It was just the perception that people took, and maybe they weren’t wrong. She was doing great at that time and I wasn’t.”
John Stamos – Finds ‘Real Love’
However, Stamos also admitted that his method of recovering from the divorce seemed “not healthy. That’s when I really started to kind of drink a lot,” he confessed. “But without that, I never would’ve known what a real love is, and I would’ve never straightened up to get someone like Caitlin in my life.”
The Full House alum tied the knot with Caitlin McHugh Stamos in 2018. And they now co-parent their 5-year-old son Billy. But Romijn has moved on as well, sharing two children with her husband Jerry O’Connell, whom she married in 2007.
And Stamos revealed his ultimate message. “If I didn’t go through all the things, all the heartache, I wouldn’t be who I am today. That’s what I hope people take away from it,” he added.
