Celebrity divorce smackdown

The Stamoses: John and Rebecca

“Full House”’s Uncle Jesse coupling with a Sports Illustrated swimsuit model seemed like a recipe for marital and genetic success. But a union can only survive so long before crumbling under the weight of the Olsen twins and Victoria Secret fashion shows. How to tell it was over for good? Rebecca dropped the “-Stamos” from her surname.

Better off? Rebecca. While both of them have had subsequent professional success—he on is-it-dead-or-not? “ER,” she on “Ugly Betty”—Rebecca also picked up the pieces by marrying actor Jerry O’Connell and becoming pregnant with twins. Have mercy!
