Bure married actress Candace Cameron on June 22, 1996. The couple were first introduced by Cameron's former Full House co-star, actor Dave Coulier, at a hockey game.

Like his wife, Bure is a devout Christian.

Following his retirement, Bure's wife, Candace, announced on her website that the couple would be opening a restaurant, "The Milk and Honey Café", in Pembroke Pines, Florida in April 2007; the restaurant later closed. Bure ventured into the wine making business, where he has partnered with a few entrepreneurs and created Bure Family Wines.

In September 2010, Bure began figure skating with Ekaterina Gordeeva as a contestant on the second season of the Canadian reality show Battle of the Blades. The pair won the competition on November 22, 2010.

Famous quotes containing the words personal and/or life:

    I leave the governor’s office next week, and with it public life ... [which] has been on the whole a pleasant one. But for ten years and over my salaries have not equalled my expenses, and there has been a feeling of responsibility, a lack of independence, and a necessary neglect of my family and personal interests and comfort, which make the prospect of a change comfortable to think of.
    Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)

    Why should not our whole life and its scenery be actually thus fair and distinct? All our lives want a suitable background. They should at least, like the life of the anchorite, be as impressive to behold as objects in a desert, a broken shaft or crumbling mound against a limitless horizon.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
