Candace Cameron Bure’s daughter, Natasha Bure, and former Disney Channel star Bradley Steven Perry, are spilling the beans on how they started dating.
After unveiling their romance via Instagram with a photo of them sharing a kiss on July 12, Bure and Perry, both 25, dished out more details about their relationship during the Monday, July 22, episode of Perry’s “Sit and Chat” podcast.
“We didn’t speak initially because we were both seeing other people,” the Good Luck Charlie alum recalled of first meeting Bure a few years back while working together. “After I got into a car accident, she replied to my story or post, and that’s how we started talking.” (In December 2023, Perry was involved in a car accident that left him with a broken arm and badly damaged his Porsche.)
From then on, the pair began exchanging messages on Instagram Stories and texting more frequently.
“You know when you’re getting to know someone and you’re texting paragraphs at a time? Then it’s like, ‘Alright, let’s just FaceTime,'” Bure explained.
At one point, while they were getting to know each other, the Home Sweet Home actress decided to take a step back and just be friends.
“I didn’t want to be your friend,” Perry recalled. Bure eventually came to the same realization, and the duo started dating.
Bure and Perry also revealed that they had different opinions on how to handle their Instagram debut as a couple. Perry tagged Bure in the kissing pic, but Bure wanted him to be more subtle.

“I said, ‘Don’t tag me, be mysterious.’ It’s fun, like, who cares?” she said, before explaining that Perry told her he didn’t “want to be one of those guys who thinks I’m cool enough to do that.”
Now that their relationship is out in the open, the couple told Perry’s podcast cohost, Jake Short, their favorite things about each other.
“You make me laugh more than anybody I know,” Perry gushed. “We just laugh all day together, and that’s a very big, big thing for me because I like to have jokes. And, you can take my jokes too, which I appreciate.”
Bure, meanwhile, admires Perry’s kind nature.

“You’re a very thoughtful person, at least with me,” she said of the Hubie Halloween actor. “I think he’s literally one of the most thoughtful people and very intentional, and remembers little things, and I really love that about you.”
When asked his least favorite thing about Bure, Perry said that she sometimes leaves fingerprints on his car when opening the door. Bure noted that she should know better given that her dad, Valeri Bure, is a car enthusiast, but admitted that she doesn’t.
“You’ve been opening the car door for me, and sometimes I fear it’s because of [the fingerprints], not because you’re trying to be a gentleman,” Bure joked.
