John Stamos has revealed that the pandemic is getting in the way of his plan’s to have another child with his lover Caitlin McHugh.
John Stamos Wants Another Child
When speaking to Us Weekly, he said: “We’re trying to expand our family, but this quarantine is getting in the way. I mean, big time. I’m currently in quarantine. This is my third time, actually.” But the pandemic had an impact in more than just one way as John spoke on how he tested positive for covid last month. He said at the time:
“I’m grateful to the studio, Disney. They’ve been doing everything they can. They really are, but there’s only so much. We get tested three or four times a week. If somebody tests [positive], everybody goes home, and that’s what happened on my day seven or something. This last time, no one else got it. So the technique works, but you know, I’m away from my wife and kid for ten days.
“The first time was a false positive on the set. So it was done, it took three or four days to really confirm it. Then there was one before Christmas, which was, like, I got out of quarantine December 23rd or 24th or something. It’s hard.” And the experience was particularly difficult for their children. He added: “I FaceTime Billy. He knows I’m here. And he started crying again.
“I want to cuddle, you know? So Caitlin said that I might have some germs and I don’t want to give them to him, but we don’t know yet because I have to be tested. And he’ll FaceTime, he goes, ‘Dad, you have no germs.’ I’m like, ‘I don’t know, buddy. I’ll find out soon. I miss you. I miss swimming.’ So it’s difficult. But I think at the same time, we’re employing a lot of people and we’re being safe as we can.”
John’s love for Billy is as evident as ever given by his past comments: “You can’t really leave him [Billy] alone ever. I cover as much as I can, but it’s been a lot. But it’s also the most, hands-down, the most beautiful thing I’ve ever, ever experienced. He likes to do bits. ‘Let’s do a bit, dad.’ Then he walks into a wall.
He loves this. I swing him on the swing set, and I’ll say, ‘I’m just a dad. Not paying attention.’ And then, not paying attention, the swing hits me in the butt. He just laughs. He is the most joyful kid I’ve ever been around. He just loves to laugh, wants to laugh. He’s a very happy kid, and he should be, cause he’s got, good parents.”
