Lori Loughlin and Mossimo Giannulli Living Apart: Is This the End of Their 28-Year Marriage?
Los Angeles, CA – Lori Loughlin and Mossimo Giannulli, the couple known for their near three-decade marriage, have reportedly separated, according to a source close to the couple speaking exclusively to PEOPLE. The actress’ representative, Elizabeth Much, confirmed the separation, stating that the couple is living apart and taking a break, but no legal proceedings have commenced.
The separation follows a tumultuous period for the couple, stemming from the 2019 college admissions scandal that led to both Loughlin and Giannulli serving prison sentences. In 2020, they pleaded guilty to wire and mail fraud for allegedly paying $500,000 to ensure their daughters, Olivia and Bella, were admitted to USC. Loughlin served two months, while Giannulli served five.
“Things have never been the same after Loughlin, 61, and Giannulli, 62, weathered the college admission fallout and the prison sentences together,” the source told PEOPLE. “Now, the exes are living apart and moving on with separate priorities, and Lori feels betrayed.”
According to the source, a reconciliation is unlikely. “It’s not a happy situation for her. They’re in very different places right now and it’s unlikely that they’ll find their way back together.”
Sources close to the family say their daughters, Olivia, 26, and Bella, 27, are handling the situation with maturity. “There’s no drama or resentment. They’ve seen how hard their mom and dad have tried over the years, and they’re focused on keeping things peaceful and staying close as a family. They both love their parents and just want them to be happy.”
When reached for comment, Giannulli offered “zero comments,” and Loughlin’s representatives have not responded to requests for comment. Giannulli also has a son, Gianni Giannulli, from a previous relationship.
