Lori Loughlin and Mossimo Giannulli Split After 28 Years
Hollywood has once again been shaken by news of a high-profile breakup, and this time it’s the long-time marriage of actress Lori Loughlin and fashion designer Mossimo Giannulli. After nearly three decades together, the couple has decided to go their separate ways. Their representative confirmed that the two are currently living apart and taking a break from their marriage, though no legal divorce proceedings have been filed at this point.
For many, Lori and Mossimo had been seen as a solid couple in the industry. They first met in a Los Angeles restaurant back in 1995, quickly fell in love, and then eloped just two years later in 1997. Their family grew soon after—Isabella Rose was born in 1998, and Olivia Jade arrived the following year. Together, they raised their two daughters while balancing demanding careers in entertainment and fashion.
Their marriage, however, was not without controversy. In 2019, both Lori and Mossimo were implicated in the infamous college admissions scandal. It was revealed that the couple paid $500,000 to falsely present their daughters as athletic recruits in order to secure spots at the University of Southern California. Initially, both denied wrongdoing, but later they pleaded guilty to conspiracy-related charges. Lori served a two-month sentence in federal prison, while Mossimo served five months. Both completed their terms and were released by 2021.

She reprised her role in When Hope Calls: A Country Christmas in 2021 and later starred in made-for-TV films like Fall into Winter and A Christmas Blessing . In a surprising twist, she even poked fun at herself in an appearance on Curb Your Enthusiasm , playing a fictional version of Lori navigating the fallout of the scandal. Meanwhile, Mossimo remained mostly out of the spotlight following his release.
Earlier this year, another clue to their changing relationship surfaced when the couple listed their Hidden Hills mansion for an eye-catching $16.5 million. They had purchased the property in 2020 for $9.5 million, around the same time the legal troubles were unfolding. That sale now seems to have been an early signal of the separation that has officially come to light.
As of now, the reason for their split hasn’t been disclosed. In fact, just a few years ago, Lori publicly described Mossimo as “her person” and credited communication, flexibility, and compromise as the secrets to their lasting marriage. Clearly, something shifted over time, but the details remain private.
Their separation adds to a growing list of celebrity breakups this year, with other high-profile couples like Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban also calling it quits. For fans who grew up watching Lori on Full House or who followed their daughters’ careers in fashion and social media, this split marks the end of what once seemed like a Hollywood love story built to last.
