Lori Loughlin, known for her role on “Full House,” and her husband of 28 years, fashion designer Mossimo Giannulli, are reportedly experiencing a separation. Loughlin’s representative, Elizabeth Much, confirmed that the couple is currently living apart and taking a break from their marriage, although no legal action is underway at this time.
This development follows the couple’s recent decision to list their expansive 11,800-square-foot mansion in Hidden Hills for $16.5 million. This home became theirs after they were at the center of the high-profile college admissions scandal involving their daughters, Olivia Jade and Isabella Rose, which drew significant media attention.
In May 2020, both Loughlin and Giannulli pleaded guilty to charges of wire and mail fraud for their role in paying $500,000 to secure their daughters’ admissions to the University of Southern California. They falsely claimed their daughters were recruits for the college’s rowing team, despite neither having any experience in the sport. Loughlin served a two-month sentence in federal prison, while Giannulli received a five-month sentence, both of which they completed in 2020.
In a poignant interview earlier this year, Loughlin spoke about her journey toward forgiveness and her outlook for the future. “I try to be a forgiving person. I’m not one to hold onto stuff,” she reflected, emphasizing the importance of letting go of negativity for one’s health and wellbeing. Her perspective highlights a commitment to personal growth and resilience.
While the separation marks a significant new chapter in their lives, Loughlin’s focus on forgiveness and positivity may provide her with a strong foundation as she navigates this difficult transition. The couple’s history serves as a reminder of the challenges that can arise from public scrutiny, but also showcases the power of reflection and personal development in the face of adversity.
