Actress Lori Loughlin and fashion designer Mossimo Giannulli have made their divorce official. Loughlin’s spokesperson verified the news with “Good Morning America.” The pair, who wed in November 1997, are now living separately and have separated from the marriage. Their separation is a big development in a relationship that has survived countless bumps over the years.
Loughlin and Giannulli’s relationship has withstood a remarkable amount of scandalous fire after the 2020 college admissions bribery scandal. Their participation in the case was enough that they were required to plead guilty on several counts. Loughlin ultimately spent two months in prison, and her husband Giannulli five months. The scandal has taken a toll on their family. It has hit home with them most to their two daughters, 27-year-old Isabella Rose Giannulli and 26-year-old Olivia Jade Giannulli.
In writing about his experience, Mossimo Giannulli said he was genuinely sorry for his actions. He stated, “I take full responsibility for my actions and the harm that my actions caused my daughters, my wife and others.” His recognition of the damage acknowledges the personal cost that the scandal had on their family relationships.
Today, Loughlin is best known for her starring role as Aunt Becky on the classic sitcom “Full House.” She had the courage to talk openly about her previous decisions. She remarked, “I made an awful decision. I allowed myself to be swayed from my moral compass.” This admission is indicative of her understanding of the impact of her decisions and the toll they had taken on her marriage.
The couple’s parting marks almost thirty years since they first said “I do”—going on three decades building a life together. Though it hasn’t been easy to deal with all of their unintentional public figures, Loughlin and Giannulli have promised to make the best of their respective situations. Loughlin previously stated, “Every day we’re met with different obstacles, but it’s all in how you approach things.” This headstrong view is never taken lightly, as it carries the weight of her commitment to push through rough waters.
As for Loughlin and Giannulli, they are taking different journeys. They would put their daughters first and weigh how their decisions would impact their whole family. The subsequent disconnection sheds light on the nuances and complications that can exist between partners. It further highlights the incredible pressures they are under, particularly when they’re in the public spotlight.
