Former Full House star Lori Loughlin is reportedly struggling emotionally following her recent separation from her husband Mossimo Giannulli after 27 years of marriage. Friends close to the actress say she is on the verge of a breakdown as she attempts to cope with the aftermath of their split.
At 61, Loughlin had initially hoped their separation was a temporary measure, but it became clear when Giannulli, 62, indicated that the split would last indefinitely. A source mentioned that “Lori’s doing her best to put on a brave face, but the scale of heartbreak and humiliation is on another level — Mossimo has totally checked out of the marriage.”
Despite her current distress, insiders are affirming that she is a strong individual who will manage to get through this tough time with support from loved ones. The couple’s relationship faced severe challenges following the 2019 Varsity Blues scandal, which saw them both convicted for using bribes to secure their daughters’ admission to the University of Southern California. Lori served a two-month prison sentence while Mossimo completed a five-month term, and they were fined $400,000.
After the scandal, Lori reportedly put in tremendous effort to salvage their marriage, but the reality of their living situation became clearer in early October when it was disclosed they had been living apart for months. Although Lori initiated the split, she had hoped that their time apart would rekindle their bond, but it seems that Giannulli has distanced himself further, staying at their home in Idaho and only coming to Los Angeles for business without reaching out to her.
While Mossimo has been spotted with 32-year-old fashion stylist Hannah Harrison, who claims they are merely friends, this has only added to Lori’s distress. Reports suggest she feels bewildered by his apparent indifference to their marriage.
With friends and family concerned for her well-being, many are urging Lori to seek help to navigate this challenging period. Although she is reportedly in a mess of emotions, the support from her loved ones could be a beacon of hope as she strives to find her way through this tumultuous time.
