John Stamos Says He's Ready To Be A Dad
NEW YORK (CBS) ―
John Stamos played uncle Jesse on the '80s sitcom "Full House." Now he wants to be a father.
"If I don't have kids soon, I am going to adopt," the 44-year-old actor tells OK! magazine in its latest issue, on newsstands Friday. "Even if I do have kids, I think I will (adopt). I always thought to myself that I would be a better father later on in life."
Stamos and Rebecca Romijn divorced in 2005, nearly a year after they announced they were separating after five years of marriage. Romijn, 34, married Jerry O'Connell in July.
"Right after I got divorced or separated, I was like, 'I've got to find somebody,'" Stamos says. "Then I went through a phase where I hated dating. Now I'm kind of embracing it."
Stamos, who co-stars as paramedic Tony Gates on the NBC medical drama "ER," says he doesn't find dating hard now.
"I think I'm probably easier to date," he says. "I'm certainly not as wild as I used to be."
Of his marriage to Romijn, Stamos says: "It burned really bright, and I kind of knew it was going to burn out at some point. But it was a great ride and I don't regret one minute of it."
