It was only fitting that when Steve had his senior prom, he brought DJ. When he took her dress shopping during the āProm Nightā episode of season 6, he was less than enthusiastic about her outfits, with DJ asking him to call her āstunningā or āalluring.ā
When Steveās old girlfriend, Rachel Taylor, appeared wearing the exact same dress as DJ, though, he was quick to call her both āstunningā and āalluring.ā Fans donāt know much about Steveās relationship with Rachel Taylor. Mostly, they learned that Rachel Taylor broke up with Steve. He was so heartbroken, he wouldnāt even eat.

Steve Hale and his ex-girlfriend broke up long before he started dating DJ. Unfortunately for DJ, at the senior prom, Rachel Taylor was crowned prom queen and Steve was crowned prom king. While they were dancing together, Rachel stole a kiss.Ā
Although this upset DJ enough to kiss another guy named Paul, the eldest Tanner sister and her boyfriend stayed together. When DJ asked about Steveās relationship with Rachel, he confirmed that DJ was his first love.Ā
āI thought she was my first love, but I was wrong,ā Steve told DJ. āI didnāt even know what love was until I met you.ā
Steve and DJ eventually get married during āFuller Houseā
After Steve went to college, the Full House couple mutually decided to break up. After that, the two dated other people. DJ briefly had relationships with boys like the extremely rich Nelson and the bad boy rocker Viper.Ā
However, when DJ didnāt have a date to her senior prom, Steve surprised her and escorted her to the event. When these characters reappeared in the spinoff series, Fuller House, DJ had already married and had children with her late-husband Tommy.Ā
