“We intertwine so well,” says Sweetin, 40, of Wasilewski, a case manager for a drug addiction program whom she began dating in 2017 and plans to wed this year. “He’s funny and smart and he’s my biggest supporter. It’s really magical.”

“Magical” could also be used to describe this period of life for Sweetin, a mom of two who is currently starring on CBS’Beyond the Edge, andWorst Cooks in Americaon The Food Network.

“When I’m 80 years old, I want to be able to say I experienced all kinds of things,” she says. “OnBeyond the Edge, I was completely out of my comfort zone. But I am the mom to two fierce young ladies and I want to exemplify that. And as I get older, I have genuinely been able to find things about myself that I’m proud of.”
