Candace Cameron Bure has officially entered a brand-new chapter of family life — she is now a grandmother.
The “Full House” star’s son, Lev Bure, and his wife, Elliott, have welcomed their first child, a baby boy named Bond Leo Bure.
The couple shared the happy news publicly on Sunday, September 27, revealing that their little boy actually arrived several weeks earlier than expected. Bond was born on August 4, approximately 10 weeks premature, weighing just 3 pounds.
His early arrival meant that Lev and Elliott’s first weeks as parents were quite different from what they had imagined.
According to Elliott’s announcement, Bond was transferred directly to the neonatal intensive care unit after his birth. He remained there for five weeks and five days before his parents were finally able to bring him home.
Elliott described the journey as an emotional one filled with long hours at the hospital, tears, prayers and support from the people around their family.
But after those difficult weeks, the family finally had the moment they had been waiting for — bringing their baby boy home.
“Welcome baby boy!!!!” Elliott announced while introducing Bond Leo to the world.
She also thanked the doctors and nurses who cared for their son throughout his time in the NICU, along with the community that supported the family during those weeks.
For Candace, the news marked an especially memorable milestone.
The 50-year-old actress and her husband, former NHL player Valeri Bure, have three children: Natasha, Lev and Maksim. Lev, 26, married Elliott in January 2024, and the couple announced earlier this year that they were expecting their first child.
When Candace learned that Lev and Elliott were expecting, she had already been looking forward to becoming a grandmother.
She even jokingly embraced the nickname “CandyGram” as her family prepared to welcome the next generation.
Now that moment has arrived.
Candace responded to Elliott’s announcement with an emotional message celebrating her grandson.
She called Bond Leo a “miracle baby” and said that her heart and the family’s hearts were filled with love.
She also praised Lev and Elliott as parents and made it clear that she plans to be closely involved as their son grows.
The timing is especially interesting because Candace is actually preparing to become a grandmother twice over.
Her daughter, Natasha Bure Perry, is also expecting her first child with her husband, Bradley Steven Perry.
Natasha and Bradley announced their pregnancy in May, just weeks before Lev and Elliott shared their own baby news. That meant Candace suddenly found herself preparing for two grandchildren at almost the same time.
For the Bure family, 2026 has therefore become a year filled with major family milestones.
First came the surprise of learning that both Lev and Natasha were starting families of their own.
Then came the unexpected early arrival of Bond Leo.
And now, after more than five weeks under hospital care, the newest member of the family is finally home.
Elliott’s announcement focused heavily on gratitude toward the medical team that cared for Bond, as well as the people who supported the family throughout the experience.
The couple has not shared extensive details about Bond’s medical condition, but the fact that he was able to leave the NICU after five weeks and five days made the homecoming an especially meaningful moment for his parents and grandparents.
Candace’s reaction also offered a glimpse into how much the arrival means to the family.
Rather than simply celebrating becoming a grandmother, she emphasized the journey that Lev and Elliott had already experienced with their son.
For a family that had expected to welcome a baby later, Bond’s early arrival brought an unexpected beginning to parenthood — followed by weeks of waiting before they could finally take him home.
Now, that waiting period has ended.
Bond Leo Bure is home with his parents, and Candace Cameron Bure has officially become a grandmother for the first time.
And with Natasha’s baby still on the way, the actress’s new “CandyGram” era is only getting started.
For the Bure family, what began as two pregnancy announcements has now turned into the arrival of a new generation — with plenty more family moments still ahead.
