Marlee Matlin and John Stamos

Marlee Matlin, the only deaf performer to ever win an Academy Award, earned her Oscar for her remarkable role in the 1986 film "Children of a Lesser God." On the other hand, John Stamos, a second-generation Greek-American, began his acting journey on the soap opera "General Hospital" and later achieved widespread recognition as Jesse in the hit sitcom "Full House."

Interestingly, during the vibrant '80s, Marlee Matlin and John Stamos crossed paths romantically for a brief period. Despite the passage of time and changing relationships, they have managed to preserve their friendship. Matlin has been happily married to police officer Kevin Grandalski since 1993, while John Stamos embarked on a journey that led to his second marriage, tying the knot with actress Caitlin McHugh in 2018.
