Jodie Sweetin of 'Full House' Fame's Three Marriages and Two Children

Remember Stephanie Tanner from "Full House"? She was played by Jodie Sweetin who is a mother to two young girls in real life.

Actress and television personality, Jodie Sweetin carved a name for herself in the entertainment industry through her role as Stephanie Tanner on the ABC comedy series "Full House" and its spin-off "Fuller House." Now, she is a mom of two.

She kicked off her career as a child. Sweetin actually started as a dancer taking ballet and tap dancing from the tender age of three years old.

Substance Abuse

The recovered drug addict began experimenting around the age of 14, just after working on "Full House," with alcohol. For the next fifteen years, she went on to use a variety of hardcore substances claiming she experimented because she was "bored".

In her memoir called unSweetined, she opens up about her substance abuse and growing up on television. She then explained how much better her life became and remains after she got sober for good in December 2008.

While the police were investigating her call, they found a firearm in his possession that he wasn’t allowed to have due to a prior felony. Then on March 24, he was arrested for the second time for reportedly violating an emergency protective order.
