This adorable birthday tribute? Cut. It. Out!
Dave Coulier’s wife, Melissa Coulier, took to Instagram to share a sweet birthday message to her partner of 11 years.
“This year’s turn feels like the luckiest rotation yet!” the photographer penned. “You’re still here, the brightest light defying the dark. Forever grateful. Love you more than anything DB @dcoulier!”
Melissa added, “Help me wish this man a very happy birthday. 💫”
The “Full House” star, 66, is in remission from Stage 3 non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
Coulier first revealed his diagnosis in November 2024.
At the time, the “Fuller House” star appeared on “Today” and explained to viewers that he first noticed his symptoms when he got a cold and spotted a large lump in his groin.
“It swelled up immediately,” Coulier recalled. “I thought, ‘Wow, I’m either really sick, or my body’s really reacting to something.’ ”
The “America’s Funniest People” host never thought he’d hear the word cancer.
“The first thing I said to them was, ‘Wait a minute — cancer?’ ” Coulier said. “[I was] feeling like I got punched in the stomach because it never happens to you. You always hear about it happening to someone else.”
Last month, Coulier’s former co-star and longtime friend, John Stamos, gave an update on the comedian.
“I go see him. He’s doing great,” the star, 62, revealed to People.
Stamos noted, “We have a couple shows we’re doing together. We’re going to Japan in a couple weeks to do little Comic Con thing, which would be good. And it’s just fun to spend time with him, and he’s doing great.”
The “Grandfathered” alum previously expressed that he’s been by Coulier’s side since he first announced his cancer diagnosis in 2024.
“Dave and I talk a lot,” the “General Hospital” vet told Us Weekly in August. “You know, we lost Bob [Saget], and I couldn’t bear losing Dave, so I’ve been with him a lot during this cancer journey of his.”
As Stamos noted, Coulier is now “100% back to Dave.”
“It’s great to see that the treatments work,” he added. “And it’s great to see him out there talking about it, to help other people that are going through the same thing.”
Stamos previously came under fire for sporting a bald cap to show his support for Coulier after he underwent treatment.
The “Big Shot” actor shared a series of Instagram shots in November that showed him wearing the cap next to Coulier, who had shaved his head.
Despite the backlash, Coulier stood by his friend.
“I’m sorry to see a bunch of negative comments as I’ve just begun my cancer journey,” he penned in an Instagram statement at the time.
“It’s our friendship (me and John) and this is how we are handling a very tough time,” Coulier continued. “I’m a comedian and humor is what drives me. John knows how to cheer me up and I laughed out loud when he arrived wearing a bald cap — being a true loving friend and brother.”
Five months after he revealed the news, the star shared that he was in remission after a biopsy confirmed that he was cancer-free.
“One of the few times in my life when ‘zero’ has been a great number to hear,” Coulier told Parade in March.
Along with receiving a clean bill of health, he learned that he had become a grandfather that same day.
“I got the good news the day the baby was born,” Coulier said while on an episode of the “How Rude, Tanneritos!” podcast in April. “So I heard the news and I was so excited, and then Luc called us and he said, ‘Hey, the baby just was born.’ And so, I mean, it was an amazing day.”
His son, Luc, welcomed his baby boy, Chance Lee, with his wife, Alex, on March 27, per People.
“It was really amazing, you know?” Coulier gushed. “So we were like, ‘Oh, this is just too much!’”
