- Her 25-year-old daughter, Natasha, now exhibits modesty in her fashion choices.
- Candace's guidance helped Natasha navigate the entertainment world, where she's thriving as a singer and actress.
Candace Bure is known for her role as D. J. Tanner in "Full House" and its spinoff "Fuller House." She has been married to Valeri Bure since 1996, and they share three kids. Her husband is a hockey player who once played for the National Hockey League, for teams such as Dallas Stars and Florida Panthers.
They have a daughter, Natasha, 25, and sons, Lev, 23, and Maksim, 22. Candace, who found fame at a young age while on "Full House," raised her kids with strict rules to navigate the modern age of social and digital media.

In 2014, Candace opened up about how she strives for balance by setting parameters with technology and social media in her household. "In our family, the kids can get a cell phone — not a smartphone — at 13 and can sign up for social media profiles on sites like Facebook and Instagram," she revealed.

A few months before Lev Bure turned 13, he was allowed to get a social media account. His mother explained that she permitted him because his maturity level differed from Natasha's at the same age.

Candace Bure restricted the number of social media profiles her children could have. She prohibited them from joining Twitter, now X, as she failed to see the relevance of children being on it even though she didn't view X as a negative platform.
The movie star further explained her strict rules, "I monitor their pages and have full access to them. If there's inappropriate content or language after three warnings, or I discover they're keeping secrets from me, the account gets deleted."

Natasha couldn't share photos with puckered lips or those showing her in bathing suits. Candace's family resided near the beach, leading to many of Natasha's friends sharing playful bikini pictures of each other. However, she noted that the photos they shared were not intended to be provocative.

The star once shared a video on Instagram acknowledging that she still saw her kids' Instagram stories from her other work account even when they blocked her personal account. She hilariously added, "Thanks for blocking mom," and captioned the post, "I'm not a regular mom. I'm not a cool mom either 😎."

Candace would also befriend as many of her kids' friends online as possible so that she could form a better opinion of the people her children hang out with. She also wanted to know how those friends were behaving without parental supervision.

The Bure family's strict rules included monitoring their children's music, as no songs with explicit language were allowed. Only the parents had passcodes for all shows rated PG-13 and above.
Candace noted that she and Valeri Bure had these rules at home to instill godly and positive values in their kids. Their efforts seemed to have paid off as in 2023, Natasha said she switched her fashion preferences to modesty and showing off less skin. She revealed this detail while responding to an Instagram stories Q&A, which asked, "What are your views on modesty? Where do u draw the line?"
In past years, Natasha had dressed differently and showcased her body more than necessary. She admitted that her style in the past came from when she was still finding her worth and thought that exposing more of her skin made her highly attractive.
Now, Natasha has opted for stylish outfits that keep up with the trends but don't compromise her values. She strived to have her words and how she presented herself match. She explained, "I think dressing classy & upholding modesty is so beautiful. I'll actually feel myself 100x more & am so much more confident in outfits that show less skin."
Candace's values and guidance also came in handy when her daughter Natasha was ready to enter the entertainment world as an adult. The actress, who has been in the industry for years, helped her navigate that path. The mom of three revealed that Natasha had been singing and acting her whole life, so Candace guided her when she became committed to becoming an actress.
When Natasha auditioned for "The Voice" in 2016, she noted that her mom set a good example for her when it came to being in the spotlight. Natasha admitted that when she got the email to audition for "The Voice," she wasn't interested because she viewed herself as too competitive to be in it. Still, her family urged her to try out, emphasizing the fun aspect.

Natasha added that her mom worked since she was five and "didn't kind of fall off the wagon like other child stars have, which is just a great testament to who she is." After the singer's audition, "The Voice" posted on X, "You can't help but fall in love with @natashabure after this Blind Audition."

Natasha is also working towards becoming a phenomenal actress like her mother, and they have both worked together. Candace has worked as an executive producer on Natasha's movies, which gives her immense joy.
Seeing her daughter's face on the screen is amazing because she knows Natasha is great, and Candace understands her intimately, making their work easier. "It's just a joy for me," said Candace.
Candace and her daughter also starred in "Aurora Teagarden Mysteries," where Natasha played the teenage version of her mom's character, Aurora. An excited Candace shared this news on Instagram in 2022 alongside a short clip from the series. The two also shared the screen in 2017's movie "Switched For Christmas."
Natasha described being on the screens with her mom as fun and a special experience. "She's really really tough on me when it comes to acting," added Natasha. However, Candace also gives her daughter space and lets her find her way.

Natasha also demystified the misconception that everything is handed to her because of who her mother is and that they work in the same industry. She clarified that she works for everything she gets and hustles independently. "I have a completely separate life from my parents, or from anyone, really," revealed Natasha.
