Jodie Sweetin is reminiscing about when she first knew a lot more about her TV uncle's personal life.

The *Full House* star addressed decades-long rumors of Alanis Morissette's iconic hit "You Oughta Know" being about her costar Dave Coulier when she she appeared on a recent *Only Child with Bob the Drag Queen* podcast. Morissette and Coulier dated during the sitcom's run in the early 1990s, and Sweetin, who was five years old when the show started, recalled seeing the singer around the set, only for things to fully click in for her in 1995 when "You Oughta Know" was released.

"Some of the lyrics in there, I was like, 'I know who that's about,'" Sweetin shared of connecting the dots, including locking in on a lyric about a new partner who looked like "an older version" of Morissette. "His next girlfriend looked rather similar."

Sweetin didn't talk to Coulier about the revelation at the time, but has spoken to him about it as she's gotten older.

"Suddenly you age out of being 'the kid,'" she explained. "And then they were like, 'We're gonna tell you all the s--- you missed.'"

Sweetin isn't Coulier's first *Full House *niece to weigh in on the song's origins, as Candace Cameron Bure previously teased Coulier about a '90s song that "may or may not" be about him.

Coulier, who has dealt with multiple health battles in recent years, hasn't been shy about admitting to the parallels between the song and his relationship with Morissette. In 2022, he shared his reaction to hearing the track for the first time.

"I went to the record store, bought the CD, and I went and I parked on a street, and I listened to the whole record," he said. "I thought, 'Ooh, I think I may have really hurt this woman.'"

For her part, Morrisette has always refused to publicly declare who the breakup anthem is about.

"I am intrigued at the thought—or at the fact—that more than one person has taken credit for it," she said in 2019, adding that "about six people" have raised their hand as the subject. "I don't know if you want to take credit for being the person I wrote 'You Oughta Know' about."
