I met John Stamos while I was doing, We Got It Made. Prior to meeting John, I had dated Tony Danza for about a year and a half.

While denying the claims of cheating, she further explained that Stamos' mother had confessed her son's true intentions did not include marriage, a confession that would play a role in the decay of their relationship.

I was still with the subtext or the sound in my head that John does not love you. He has no intention of ever marrying you, so I would leave, and I would tell him I am not going to see you anymore. I would leave, and then after he dated Abdul, we got back together again, but then there was no commitment there.
