Lori Loughlin and Mossimo Giannulli: A Divorce After Decades of Turmoil

SCANDALOUS SPLIT! Lori Loughlin and Mossimo Giannulli Call It Quits After 28 Years of Marriage

The drama just got real, folks! Actress Lori Loughlin and fashion designer Mossimo Giannulli have finally separated after a staggering 28 years of marriage. And let's just say, it's been a wild ride full of scandals, prison sentences, and makeovers.

According to sources close to the former couple, they've been living separate lives for quite some time now. Loughlin, 61, has been based in Los Angeles, while Giannulli, 62, has been residing in Sun Valley, Idaho, where they own a property together. Yep, you read that right – they're still on the same property, but living apart!

The Queen of Queens, New York-born Loughlin, is said to be focusing on her relationship with their two daughters, Isabella "Bella" Rose, 27, and Olivia Jade Giannulli, 26. Insiders claim that Loughlin has a "terrific" bond with both girls and has been spending quality time with them.

But what about the alleged reason for their split? Sources close to the couple claim that Loughlin was hoping Giannulli would make some significant changes after their prison sentences, but he didn't quite deliver. Ouch! It seems like she's feeling a bit disappointed in him.

The drama between the two began back in 2019 when they were embroiled in the infamous Operation Varsity Blues scandal, which involved 33 parents paying bribes to get their kids into top universities. Loughlin and Giannulli pleaded guilty to conspiracy charges and served time in prison. But it seems like this experience didn't bring them closer together – quite the opposite!

Lori's rep Elizabeth Much confirmed the split, stating that they're "living apart and taking a break from their marriage" with no legal proceedings at this time.

But here's the juicy part: Loughlin has been spotted getting cozy with none other than her former co-star James Tupper outside the Bird Streets Club in Los Angeles. They were seen laughing and chatting, and sources claim that they've been spending more time together lately. Could we be seeing a new romance brewing?

Lori has also been keeping an eye on how separation proceedings unfold. But don't get it twisted – she's not looking for love just yet! According to insiders, she considers herself "not single yet" following the painful split.

It's no secret that Loughlin and Giannulli have had their fair share of ups and downs over the years. After serving time in prison, they seemed like a reformed couple, but it seems like this experience didn't quite bring them closer together.

In a recent interview with FIRST for Women Magazine, Lori spoke about how she handled the fallout from the scandal. She said, "I try to be a forgiving person... I'm not one to hold onto stuff. Stuff happens to everyone." But it seems like their relationship was one thing that just couldn't withstand the pressure.

Lori has been quite open about her experiences since the scandal broke out. In an episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm, she even spoofed the whole ordeal opposite Larry David! She played a fictionalized version of herself, seeking his help in getting back into an exclusive golf club after being kicked out due to the scandal.

Lori's rep has confirmed that they're taking things slow and focusing on their daughters for now. But we can't help but wonder – will these two ever make it work again? Only time will tell!

Update: We reached out to Loughlin's team for comment, but they declined to share any further details.
