“I think we value friendships. And it’s true: I can’t look at any other show and see the casts that are still hanging out and are as tight as we are,” Bure, 38, told Us. Of Barber, also 38, she added, “I think being moms really brought us closer together.”

The Dancing With the Stars alum, who played D.J. Tanner through the entire eight-season run of Full House, has three kids now with husband Valeri Bure: daughter Natasha, 16, and sons Lev, 14, and Maksim, 12. Barber, who played D.J.’s best friend Kimmy Gibbler, is mom to son Tate, 10, and Felicity, 7, with husband Jeremy Rytky.

“My kids are…at the height of Full House fandom,” she told Us. “My daughter was so excited to come here today and to meet Candace. And I’m like, ‘You’ve already met Candace!’ But this is the first time she’s seen Candace since she became a fan of the show.”

Bure’s kids have a certain fondness for the sitcom, too. When her youngest, Maks, first started middle school, he had a hard time making friends. “And then one day he came in the car and I said, ‘How was your day today?'” she recalled. “And he was like, ‘It was great…Everybody found out you’re my mom, and you were D.J. on Full House, and now everybody wants to be my friend!'”
