Kirk Cameron Quit Hollywood When He Found God — The Father of 6 At 52 Prays Every Day With Spouse of 30 Years

Kirk Cameron was born in Los Angeles, California, into a household that was not openly religious. He identified as an agnostic until, at the age of 17, he discovered his faith in God in the most unlikely of places: Hollywood.

Cameron began his career as a child actor in commercials and modest TV roles, but his role as Mike Seaver on “Growing Pains” launched him to teen fame. His life altered again when he discovered God and met his wife, Chelsea Noble, in the same season of life.

Kirk Cameron began acting when he was nine years old, and for years he slept in the vehicle as his mother drove him to auditions and school. That changed in 1985, when he was cast in the family sitcom “Growing Pains,” alongside Alan Thicke and Joanna Kerns. ” Cameron had this to say about his experience that by the third season, it [“Growing Pains”] had reached its peak, and they were in the top 10 of all shows.

The popularity of “Growing Pains” catapulted Cameron into an other realm in which he was pals with other celebrities and had access to resources. On the street, everybody knew him, and teenagers worshipped him. But he yearned for something more enduring than the shallow trappings of celebrity.

Kirk Cameron recounts the first time Chelsea Noble appeared on the set of “Growing Pains” as he proceeded to seek for his soul. As she was reading, he spotted the cross pendant on her necklace and thought she was lovely. In forthcoming episodes, she will portray Mike’s love interest.

Cameron was hesitant to kiss Noble and put it off during practice. When the time came to perform the scene in front of a live audience, he played a trick on her by applying numbing cream on his lips before kissing her to relieve anxiety. That stupid joke ended up changing their lives.

The kiss not only made for a beautiful moment, but it also signified the start and became an important element of their relationship. Kirk Cameron and Chelsea Noble said “I do” on July 21, 1991, in Cheektowaga, New York.

It is critical to pray together while raising children and establishing successful jobs. Non-parenting-related discussions can also recall couples of why they fell in love in the first place. Setting aside time for a dinner together or going on date evenings might help keep the flames burning.
