Lori Loughlin and Mossimo Giannulli Separate After Nearly 28 Years

Lori Loughlin and Mossimo Giannulli, who were married for nearly 28 years, have separated and are living apart, a representative for Loughlin said on Thursday. The representative, Elizabeth Much, said the couple are "taking a break from their marriage" and that there are no legal proceedings at this time.

Loughlin, an actress known for her role on the sitcom Full House, and Giannulli, a fashion designer and founder of the Mossimo brand, were married in 1997 and share two adult daughters, Isabella Rose, 27, and Olivia Jade, 26. The separation was disclosed days after the couple listed their Hidden Hills home for sale earlier this year.

The announcement comes six years after the two were implicated in a widely reported college admissions case. Prosecutors said the couple paid money to secure their daughters' admission to the University of Southern California as purported recruits for the rowing team. In 2020 both pleaded guilty to conspiracy charges related to the matter. Loughlin served a two-month jail sentence and Giannulli served five months; both received fines and were ordered to perform community service. Their daughters left the university amid the investigation.
