jesse-and-rebecca-full-house

JESSE AND REBECCA KATSOPOLIS

TGIF's prettiest couple eventually had another child, adding to Michelle's jealousy that all of her uncle's attention wasn't pointed towards her well past the point where her feelings would be considered "age appropriate."
Jesse would never have another No. 99 hit like "Forever," but Hot Daddy and the Monkey Puppets would go on to tour all across... San Francisco.

KIMMY GIBBLER

gia-full-house
