John Stamos Calls Wife the ‘Real Hero’ While Celebrating Son’s 7th Birthday
John Stamos and his wife, Caitlin McHugh Stamos, are celebrating their only child’s 7th birthday.
In a poignant message shared via Instagram on Thursday, April 10, the Fuller House alum, 61, wished son Billy a happy birthday before sharing a message to the “real hero of April 10,” Caitlin.
“Today our Billy boy turns 7. SEVEN. A magical, chaotic, hilarious, action-packed, deep-feeling, big-hearted SEVEN,” John wrote.
The actor continued wife praise for his wifte, adding, “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. Caitlin.”

As John explained, it was Caitlin, 38, who “did all the work” seven years ago when bringing Billy into the world.
“The real work. The growing-a-whole-human-inside-her-body work,” he said. “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. The recovery, the healing, the nursing, the nights without sleep, the years without rest. So yes, today we celebrate Billy and the magical little human he is becoming. But this day — this exact day — will always be hers, too,” John wrote alongside a photo from when Caitlin was pregnant with Billy. “A reminder of her strength, her love, and everything she gave to bring him into this world.”
He concluded, “We see you, Caitlin. And we love you.”
Fans in the comments section applauded the actor’s message to his son and his wife.
“Happy birthday! Beautifully said,” one commenter wrote.
“How sweet!” another fan shared. “My pregnancies were difficult too! Happy 7th bday!”
“Well said. Thank you from all the Moms. That do all the work,” a third commenter added. “Year after year !!! happily.”
