John Stamos: “I’m Ready To Have Kids”

John Stamos has enjoyed a successful career for more than 25 years, but there’s still one role he has yet to tackle: Dad. “The cards haven’t fallen that way for me. I didn’t want to have a child with the wrong person,” says John, who divorced Rebecca Romijn in 2005. “I’d like my kid to grow up the way I did, having a mother and a father — coming home from work and eating dinner together.” The timing might finally be right now that the ER hunk has found love again with model Leah Marsh. “I’ve been talking about it for a while,” the star of Lifetime’s The Two Mr. Kissels — a gritty new movie airing on November 15 at 9 p.m. ET — tells In Touch. “I’m ready to have kids.”

In Touch: When do you want to become a father?

John: Soon, I think. I’m 45.

In Touch: Do you want a lot of kids?

John: I don’t know, but it seems like once you have one, you want more.

In Touch: Would you adopt?

John: Of course. If it doesn’t work out the other way, I would go to Project Cuddle, a charity I’m involved with that helps young women who are considering abandoning their babies.

In Touch: What kind of father will you be?

John: A good dad. I have many connections at Disneyland [laughs]. But if I could be half the dad my late father was, that would be perfect.
