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. They have three children, Natasha Valerievna Bure (b. August 15, 1998), Lev Valerievich Bure (b. February 20, 2000) and Maksim Valerievich Bure (b. January 20, 2002).
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 would rather have as my patron a host of anonymous citizens digging into their own pockets for the price of a book or a magazine than a small body of enlightened and responsible men administering public funds. I would rather chance my personal vision of truth striking home here and there in the chaos of publication that exists than attempt to filter it through a few sets of official, honorably public-spirited scruples.”
—John Updike (b. 1932)
“He was discontented and wasted his life into the bargain; and yet he rated it as a gain in coming to America, that here you could get tea, and coffee, and meat every day. But the only true America is that country where you are at liberty to pursue such a mode of life as may enable you to do without these, and where the state does not endeavor to compel you to sustain slavery and war and other superfluous expenses which directly or indirectly result from the use of such things.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
