Candace Cameron Bure has officially become a grandmother after her son Lev Bure and his wife, Elliott, welcomed their first child, a baby boy named Bond Leo Bure. The couple announced the joyful news on September 27, revealing that Bond was born on August 4, 2026 — an astonishing 10 weeks premature and weighing just three pounds. His early arrival led to more than five weeks in the NICU before his parents could finally bring him home. Elliott described the emotional journey as one filled with tears, prayers, and gratitude, calling her son their “miracle boy” while thanking the medical team who cared for him. Candace shared her overwhelming happiness in the comments, praising Lev and Elliott as wonderful parents and celebrating the new addition to the family. Bond’s distinctive name also quickly attracted attention from fans, many of whom called it beautiful, rare, and fitting for the little boy’s remarkable journey.
The birth comes during an especially exciting period for the Bure family, as Candace’s daughter Natasha is also expecting her first child with husband Bradley Steven Perry. Natasha and Bradley announced their pregnancy in May, only weeks before Lev and Elliott revealed their own baby news. Candace had already been eagerly preparing for grandmotherhood and even chose the playful nickname “Candy Gram,” although her children had previously vetoed the idea. The actress has spoken about how much she looked forward to creating new family traditions and memories with her future grandchildren. Now, that long-awaited chapter has arrived sooner than expected, with Bond becoming the family’s newest generation. After his difficult start, the baby is finally home with his parents, surrounded by relatives celebrating his arrival and describing him as a true blessing.
