Lori Loughlin and Mossimo Giannulli's Marriage in Shambles: Sources Claim College Admissions Scandal 'Killed' Their Love

In a shocking turn of events, actress Lori Loughlin and her husband, fashion designer Mossimo Giannulli, have split after 28 years of marriage. The news has sent shockwaves throughout the entertainment industry, leaving fans wondering what went wrong in their seemingly perfect relationship.

According to sources close to the couple, the college admissions scandal that rocked their lives in 2019 was the final nail in the coffin for their marriage. "The scandal totally derailed their relationship," a source told TheScholarlyNote.com. "Mossimo felt humiliated and embarrassed by the whole ordeal. He thought they had built a life of privilege, but it all came crashing down."

'It's obviously been tough, but Olivia and Bella aren't taking sides,' a source told People in an article published on Thursday. 'They both love their parents and just want them to be happy'; Lori seen with daughters in 2019 in Beverly Hills

Lori Loughlin, known for her role in Full House, was sentenced to two months in prison for paying $500,000 to secure her daughters' spots on the University of Southern California's crew team, despite neither of them being avid rowers. Her husband, Mossimo, received a five-month sentence and was fined a whopping $250,000.

The couple's public downfall was met with widespread ridicule, with many pundits labeling them as "rich, entitled" individuals who used their wealth to cheat the system. The constant scrutiny took a toll on their relationship, with sources claiming that they began to blame each other for their misfortunes.

"Mossimo felt like Lori was driving the bus, and he just couldn't keep up," said a source close to the couple. "He was embarrassed by the whole situation, and it seemed like no matter what they did, they were always one step behind."

'They've seen how hard their mom and dad have tried over the years, and they're focused on keeping things peaceful and staying close as a family,' the source added; seen in 2018 in West Hollywood

Despite their efforts to recover from the scandal, sources claim that the damage had already been done. "They never really recovered from the humiliation," said the insider. "Their daughters, Isabella and Olivia Jade, were also affected by the ordeal. They lost their innocence, and it was a tough time for all of them."

Now, with their marriage on the rocks, sources close to the couple are predicting that they may not reconcile anytime soon. "It's looking very much like this separation is going to be permanent," said one insider. "They just can't seem to get on the same page anymore."

But don't count Mossimo out just yet! The fashion designer has been spotted on several outings in recent weeks, fueling rumors that he may already have moved on from his marriage. However, his stylist, Hannah Harrison, recently shut down speculation that they were involved romantically.

The actress has been residing in Los Angeles while the fashion designer has been living in Sun Valley, Idaho - where the pair also own property; seen in 2006 in L.A.

"We're just friends," Harrison told Us Weekly. "I was at the G/FORE Supply store to meet Mossimo for work purposes. We drove separately and didn't leave together."

Lori Loughlin, on the other hand, has been keeping a low profile since news of their split broke. However, she was spotted in Los Angeles over the weekend, sporting a bright smile and fitness attire.

The 61-year-old actress noticeably wasn't wearing her wedding ring during the outing, leading many to wonder if she's ready to move on from her marriage. When reached for comment by TheScholarlyNote.com, Lori's representatives declined to comment on the status of their relationship.
