Natasha Bure, daughter of “Full House’s” Candace Cameron Bure, recently shared that she will be joining the growing list of people leaving California. Bure made the announcement on her YouTube channel, sharing that she plans to move to Texas. According to Bure, the decision had been made in December, but that certain work obligations had delayed her timeline. She stated that she was “really nervous” but “in a good way.” “This is also the first time I’m ever officially living by myself,” she shared. “It’s gonna be a challenge, for sure, but I think it will be a good challenge for me. I feel like I’m in this little bubble in LA.” The 25-year-old’s mother and father currently reside in the Malibu area and will be apparently left behind as Bure starts her new life. 

“I just want to meet new people, I want to learn lessons, I want to grow, and I feel like right now where I am in my life, this is the perfect opportunity to go and get out of my comfort zone . . . If I hate it, then I’ll move back, or I’ll move somewhere different or whatever,” Bure stated. Overall, she remained optimistic about the move, acknowledging that things may turn out differently than she had planned. “So many things that I had in my mind didn’t go the way they were supposed to, and sometimes that really hurt. But in the long run, it was so beneficial, and I grew so much as a person, and I’m glad that those things didn’t work out because this was presented to me instead, or, you know, whatever the case may be,” she said.

Bure adds herself to the ever-growing list of celebrities leaving the Golden State for greener pastures. California has lost over 500,000 residents from 2020 to 2022, and the trend is not ready to stop. Mark Wahlberg and his family left California for Las Vegas, Nevada, with Wahlberg sharing his intention to invest in Las Vegas as a new movie production hub. Actress Hilary Swank has also made the move, heading for Colorado, and actor Josh Brolin moved to Atlanta, GA. Many have stated high taxes and crime rates as their reason for leaving California behind.

Candace Cameron Bure has presented a tight-knit front with her eldest child, with Natasha openly defending her mother after she announced the Great American Channel (GAC) would focus on “traditional marriage.” She also shared her appreciation for her mother’s faith, calling her “bold.” “She is bold,” she added. “She is kind. She is so creative and has one of the greatest hearts. I look up to her in many, many ways. [I] continuously feel blessed that God gave me her as my Mama.”
