Jodie Sweetin Reveals The Struggles Of Being A Child Star

]

Jodie Sweetin is an open book. The actress is often giving a raw and honest look into her struggles. She opened up to People to discuss what it was really like being a child star, stating that “the blessing and the curse of being in this industry is that people want to know about you and what it is that you do and have done, the good and the bad.”

But the star remains positive, telling People that she is happy to have a way to share her story with others. “I love taking the good stuff and the bad stuff I’ve been through and being able to share it with people. If nothing else, being in the limelight gives you the platform to speak about things you believe in.”

Recently, Sweetin announced her engagement to Mescal Wasilewski, a therapist specializing in addiction and mental health issues (via The Sun). The pair have been dating since 2018. Sweetin shared the news one week after the passing of former “Full House” co-star Bob Saget. She, along with the rest of the cast, shared heartfelt tributes, with Sweetin saying on her Instagram that “there aren’t enough words to express what I’m feeling today. Nor are they big enough to capture even a slice of who he was.”

Jodie Sweetin Shares Happy Relationship News

Jodie Sweetin has been on an emotional rollercoaster over the past two weeks. The “Full House” alum was just one of many who spoke out in sadness after the news of her co-star Bob Saget’s death was confirmed on Jan. 9, 2022. Following Saget’s passing, Sweetin took to her Instagram account to share her sorrow and honor her late TV father (via Us Weekly).

“Bob was a wonderful human being. A human being that could drive you nuts at times, and he knew it, but who was so genuine that you couldn’t even get that frustrated. Someone who would also call and profusely apologize for at LEAST 15 minutes if he thought he MAY have perhaps said something he shouldn’t have or thought maybe he took a joke too far,” the actress wrote. “He was a genuinely kind spirit who made it through so much in his life, and was most happy when he was helping others. Whether it was personally or through SO many of his different avenues of philanthropy. He gave great hugs too,” she added.

While it’s been a week filled with sadness for Sweetin and her “Full House” co-stars, the actress is now celebrating some good news with her loved ones as she and her longtime love Mescal Wasilewski are taking the next step in their relationship.

“There aren’t enough words to express what I’m feeling today. Nor are they big enough to capture even a slice of who he was,” she wrote on January 10, one day after the comedian was found dead in his Orlando, Florida hotel room.

“Bob was a wonderful human being. A human being that could drive you nuts at times, and he knew it, but who was so genuine that you couldn’t even get that frustrated,” she added.

Jodie Sweetin is engaged to her “person.”

The Full House alum shared the happy news on social media Monday that her boyfriend of over four years, Mescal Wasilewski, popped the question. She shared a photo of them together, featuring her new ring.

Her post began with a Maya Angelou quote: “In all the world there is no heart for me like yours. In all the world there is no love for you like mine.”

She followed that with a message to her future husband, “I love you Mescal, for always. You’re my person. I can’t wait to see the life that lies ahead for us. Here’s to us, @ghostfacelito and our life of adventures. Together.”

Sweetin, whose birthday is Wednesday, ended with, “I think I’m really gonna like turning 40 ❤️❤️❤️💍.”

Wasilewski shared the same photo on his page, captioning it, “So that happened…”

Sweetin’s Full House co-star and TV sibling Candace Cameron Bure was among those to congratulate her — so was John Stamos’s wife, Caitlin McHugh, who wrote, “Love to see you smile.”
