The seemingly unbreakable bond between Full House star Lori Loughlin and her fashion designer husband Mossimo Giannulli has reportedly shattered, sending shockwaves through Hollywood after nearly three decades of marriage.
According to exclusive sources, the couple who stood together through the storm of the nationwide college admissions scandal have now chosen separate paths. Their united front during legal battles has given way to what insiders describe as an "irreparable breakdown" of their relationship.
The Telltale Signs of Trouble
Observers noted the couple's growing distance in recent months, with Loughlin, 60, and Giannulli, 61, increasingly appearing at events separately. The most telling evidence emerged when Giannulli was photographed enjoying dinner with an unidentified brunette in Los Angeles, though representatives maintain this was strictly business.
Friends of the couple reveal that the immense pressure from their legal ordeal created fractures that never fully healed. "The stress took an enormous toll," one confidant shared. "They fought hard to save their marriage, but sometimes the damage runs too deep."
From Red Carpets to Courtrooms
The couple's fairytale romance began in the 1990s, culminating in a 1997 wedding that seemed to promise forever. They became Hollywood royalty—she the beloved actress, he the successful designer—raising two daughters while maintaining a picture-perfect public image.
Everything changed in 2019 when they became central figures in the "Varsity Blues" college admissions scandal. Both served prison sentences—Loughlin two months, Giannulli five—after admitting to paying $500,000 to have their daughters admitted to USC as fake athletic recruits.
What Comes Next?
Legal experts suggest the divorce proceedings could become complex, given their substantial shared assets and the complicated financial landscape following their legal battles. The couple's Beverly Hills mansion, valued at over $28 million, represents just one piece of their significant property portfolio.
As both parties retreat to consider their next moves, the entertainment world watches closely, wondering if this marks the final chapter for one of Hollywood's most enduring—and recently controversial—partnerships.
