Lori Loughlin files to end 28 years of marriage with Mossimo Giannulli
Lori Loughlin’s personal life has entered a new chapter after nearly three decades of marriage. The actress has taken a major legal step involving her relationship with Mossimo Giannulli.
A major change after 28 years
The Lori Loughlin divorce filing comes after the couple had reportedly been living apart and taking a break from their relationship.
The development has brought renewed attention to the Lori Loughlin marriage, which began in 1997. The Full House star Lori Loughlin has listed August 31, 2025, as the date of separation in court documents.
The couple has two daughters, Bella Rose Giannulli and Olivia Jade Giannulli. Their marriage also includes a prenuptial agreement.
Their difficult legal past
The couple previously faced intense public attention because of the Varsity Blues scandal and the wider college admissions scandal.
In 2020, Loughlin and Giannulli pleaded guilty to conspiracy charges connected to efforts to secure their daughters’ admission to the University of Southern California.
The case became one of the most widely discussed parts of the college admissions scandal, drawing national attention to wealthy families accused of using illegal methods to influence college admissions.
The Varsity Blues scandal also became a major turning point in Loughlin’s public image. The actress and her husband had initially maintained that they believed their payments were legitimate donations.

Prison sentences followed
Loughlin was sentenced to two months in prison, while Giannulli served five months.
The Full House star Lori Loughlin later accepted responsibility for her actions, saying she had made an “awful decision” because she believed she was acting out of love for her children.
Giannulli also accepted responsibility and said he was ready to face the consequences of his actions.
The Varsity Blues scandal continued to follow the couple long after their prison sentences ended, keeping the college admissions scandal in the public spotlight.
A relationship under renewed attention
The latest legal development has once again placed the Lori Loughlin marriage under public scrutiny.
For the Full House star Lori Loughlin, the latest development comes years after the intense media coverage surrounding the Varsity Blues scandal.
The Lori Loughlin divorce now represents another major chapter in a relationship that had already gone through significant public and legal pressure.
The couple’s separation had reportedly begun before the filing, suggesting that the latest move followed a period of living apart rather than coming completely without warning.
The Lori Loughlin marriage had lasted through years of professional success, family life and the difficult period surrounding the college admissions scandal.
