GOSSIP & RUMORS: Lori Loughlin, Mossimo Giannulli split after college admissions scandal

It’s over for Lori Loughlin and Mossimo Giannulli.

The couple has split after nearly 28 years of marriage and are living separately, The Post can confirm.

“They are living apart and taking a break from their marriage. There are no legal proceedings at this time,” Loughlin’s rep, Elizabeth Much, said on Thursday, Oct. 2.

People was the first to report the news.

The pair married in 1997.

The split comes just six years after the “Full House” star and her fashion guru husband — who are parents to Olivia Jade and Isabella Rose Giannulli — were embroiled in the infamous 2019 college admissions scandal.

The Post has reached out to Giannulli’s rep for comment.

Loughlin and Giannulli pleaded guilty in May 2020 to bribing their daughters’ way into the University of Southern California as fake rowing recruits.

They even served prison time after copping to conspiracy charges after hashing out plea deals with federal prosecutors.

Loughlin received a two-month sentence, while her husband was slapped with a five-month sentence.

The TV star and Giannulli were released in December 2020 and April 2021, respectively.

The college admissions scandal was widely reported on and was even the subject of a Netflix movie.

Loughlin slowly got back to acting after serving time, appearing as Abigail Stanton in “When Hope Calls: A Country Christmas” — a spinoff of “When Calls the Heart.”

She also acted in the TV movie “Fall Into Winter.”

More recently, Loughlin starred alongside Larry David in an episode of “Curb Your Enthusiasm” as a heightened version of herself and poked fun at the scandal.

GOSSIP & RUMORS: Michelle Pfeiffer made Al Pacino bleed during ‘Scarface’ audition

Her other recent acting gigs include appearing on “Blue Bloods” and “On Call.”

The actress spoke about the importance of forgiveness in her first major interview since being released from prison. She did not, however, address the college admissions drama.

“I try to be a forgiving person. I’m not one to hold onto stuff. Stuff happens to everyone. We’ve all been in positions to ask for forgiveness but to ask for it, you have to learn and know how to give forgiveness, too,” she told First for Women Magazine in April 2024.

“My family wasn’t one to hold grudges. I didn’t grow up in a household where if you made a mistake, you weren’t forgiven,” Loughlin continued. “No one is perfect, we all make mistakes. So I was always told to let stuff go. And I think for your own health, you have to let things go because you can’t hang on to negativity. Life’s too short.”

She also revealed that “persevering” is key to tackling life’s ups and downs.

“As an actress, I hear ‘no’ a lot, so I just have to be myself and persevere and try not to let in negativity,” Loughlin explained in the interview.

“My advice is to just keep moving forward. Everyone has good times and bad times. That’s life. I think you just have to pick yourself up. Nobody said life was going to be a breeze. There’s beauty in life, but there’s also hardship in life.”
