Candace Cameron Bure’s son Lev and wife Elliott welcomed Bond Leo 10 weeks early and brought him home after an extended NICU stay.

Candace Cameron Bure is celebrating a new role in her family after her son Lev Bure and his wife, Elliott Bure, announced that they had welcomed their first child, a baby boy named Bond Leo.

The couple shared that Bond arrived 10 weeks early and weighed exactly 3 pounds at birth. He was transferred to a neonatal intensive care unit, where he remained before finally going home after five weeks and five days. Elliott thanked the hospital staff who cared for him and described the experience as an emotional stretch filled with tears, prayer and long hours.

A long-awaited homecoming

The announcement focused not only on Bond’s birth but also on the relief of bringing him home. Because the family waited until after the extended NICU stay to share the update, the news arrived with a reassuring development: the newborn was already out of the hospital and with his parents.

Cameron Bure amplified the announcement and praised Lev and Elliott as parents. The “Full House” and “Fuller House” star called Bond a miracle baby and said the family’s hearts were full. Her response added a personal note to a milestone she had been anticipating publicly since the pregnancy was announced in May.

The Bure family grows

Lev and Elliott have been married since 2024. When they revealed the pregnancy earlier this year, it followed news that Lev’s older sister, Natasha Bure, was also expecting a child. Candace jokingly embraced the nickname “CandyGram” as she prepared for two additions to the family.

The overlapping pregnancies made 2026 a major year of change for the Bures, but Bond’s early arrival brought a different level of concern. The family’s account kept the emphasis on his progress and on the medical team that helped him through his first weeks.

For Cameron Bure, the update marks the beginning of grandparenthood after months of openly sharing her excitement. For Lev and Elliott, it is also a homecoming story after an uncertain start, with their announcement centered on gratitude and their son’s recovery.
