Early life

John Stamos was born on August 19, 1963 in Cypress, California to William "Bill" Stamos, a restaurateur, and Loretta (née Phillips). His father was of Greek descent, and his mother was of English and Irish ancestry. He has two sisters, Alaina and Janeen. In his youth, Stamos worked for his father's restaurants, and as a teenager had a job flipping burgers in the Orange County area.
He attended John F. Kennedy High School and played in the marching band there. At 15, he attended his first Beach Boys concert; a huge fan, he would later tour with the band. His parents were supportive of his aspiration to be an actor, and although he planned to enroll at Cypress College for the 1981 term, he skipped his first semester to focus on launching a career as an actor—with his father's blessing. After just three weeks, he landed his first role on General Hospital.
Personal life
Stamos is a big fan of Elvis Presley and has often referenced or paid homage to him in the show Full House. Stamos began dating model/actress Rebecca Romijn in 1994.

Stamos filed for divorce in August 2004, and it became final on March 1, 2005.
On October 23, 2017, Stamos announced his engagement to model and actress Caitlin McHugh after a year of dating. In December 2017, the couple announced they are expecting their first child, due in the spring of 2018. Stamos and McHugh married in February 2018. On April 15, 2018, Stamos announced the birth of his first son, Billy, named after his father.
