From there, things get slightly messy — according to McKellar, Bure also thought she was dating Miller at the time. TheFull Housealum first met Miller, now 46, when he starred alongside her brotherKirkonGrowing Pains.
McKellar only realized what had really happened many years later when the she and Bure, now 47, were both onDancing with the Starsin 2014.
“I found out that she was like, ‘Oh, we were dating.' I’m like, ‘What?’” McKellar recalled. “So Jeremy, tsk, tsk, not good.”

Luckily for all three, there were no hard feelings in the end. Looking back, McKellar called the whole love triangle “so silly.”
“I mean, we were so young. We were like 13 years old. So, this was not any kind of serious relationship we’re talking about,” the actress reflected. “Luckilymy friendship with Candacehas survived just fine.”
The actresses have continued to work together in recent years on theGreat American Familynetwork, for which the Bure serves as chief creative officer. McKellar’s latest project,Swing Into Romance,is set to premiere on the network on Oct. 7 as part of its Autumn Harvest event.
