Lori Loughlin & Mossimo Giannulli Split; In States After Prison Release

Lori Loughlin and Mossimo Giannulli have officially ended their 27‑year marriage, with the couple now living separately in different parts of the United States. The actress remains in her Los Angeles home, while Giannulli has moved to a residence near Sun Valley, Idaho.
The split follows months of reported separation that have kept the pair out of each other’s daily lives.
The two are no longer cohabiting, with Loughlin maintaining her own household in Beverly Hills and Giannulli spending most of his time at the Idaho property. Neither has publicly announced a new partnership, and both seem focused on managing the logistics of their split without a public court appearance yet.
Their separation appears to be a private decision rather than one made in front of a courtroom or the media.
Loughlin has not described herself as single, even though she has not entered a new relationship. She continues to emphasize her connection to her two daughters, Olivia Jade and Emily Grace, saying that their well‑being remains her top priority.
While she has not spoken publicly about the emotional impact of the split, reports indicate she is focused on maintaining stability for her children.
## Background & Context
Loughlin, best known for her role in the sitcom ‘Full House,’ married Giannulli in 1996, and the couple had two daughters together. The marriage endured public scrutiny during the 2019 college admissions scandal, when the pair faced allegations of paying a fixer to secure a USC scholarship for their daughter.
Their case was one of several that drew attention to the broader scheme orchestrated by a known admissions consultant.
Both Loughlin and Giannulli pleaded guilty in federal court, admitting conspiracy to commit wire and mail fraud. They were sentenced to several months in prison and ordered to pay restitution and fines. The couple was released from incarceration in early 2024 after serving the mandated time.
Following their release, the couple faced a period of adjustment, during which they reportedly returned to normal family life while navigating the legal aftermath of their conviction.
The public eye remained focused on their personal and financial adjustments, as well as the ongoing legal proceedings related to restitution and custody arrangements. Their shared history has made the post‑prison phase highly scrutinized by both fans and media.
Public reaction to the scandal was swift, with media outlets highlighting the high‑profile nature of the case. Many fans expressed disappointment over the abuse of power, while others called for accountability from public officials. The incident prompted broader discussions about equity and access within elite college admissions.
## Living Arrangements & Family Life
Loughlin maintains her residence in Los Angeles, where she continues to manage day‑to‑day routines with her daughters. The actress has emphasized that their emotional stability is paramount, and she has chosen to keep her household as a consistent environment for the children.
While the couple’s homes are now separate, they reportedly coordinate schedules to ensure both parents remain actively involved.
Giannulli has settled near Sun Valley, Idaho, where he spends most of his time. He reportedly balances his responsibilities between the Idaho property and visits to Los Angeles for family matters. The two have agreed on a co‑parenting schedule that allows both to maintain regular contact with the children.
Both parents reportedly coordinate travel schedules so that the children can spend time in each parent’s home. Loughlin’s team manages logistics for school and extracurricular activities, while Giannulli’s representatives handle travel arrangements to and from Los Angeles.
The arrangement seeks to minimize disruption to the children’s daily routines.
The couple’s shared custody arrangement has attracted public attention, but no official statements have been released regarding the specifics of visitation schedules. Both Loughlin and Giannulli have declined to discuss details in interviews, focusing instead on their private lives.
Their approach underscores a desire to keep the children’s routine stable while they navigate the new family dynamic.
## Legal and Financial Aftermath
During their plea negotiations, both Loughlin and Giannulli admitted conspiracy to commit wire and mail fraud related to their daughter’s admission process. The sentencing judge imposed a combined prison term of 12 months and ordered restitution to the universities involved.
Both parties also agreed to pay monetary fines as part of the settlement.
The couple was released from federal custody in early 2024, after completing their sentence and fulfilling court‑ordered restitution payments. Since then, divorce proceedings are reportedly pending, with no final decree issued yet.
The legal documents filed in the Los Angeles Superior Court outline asset division and custody terms but have not been made public.
Both parties have refrained from public commentary on the financial settlement or custody plans, leaving the specifics to court filings. Legal analysts note that the case may involve complex asset division, given Giannulli’s fashion design business and Loughlin’s acting contracts.
As of now, no official statements have been released by either representative regarding next steps.
Financial analysts note that asset division will involve both tangible and intangible assets, including Giannulli’s apparel lines and Loughlin’s entertainment contracts. The court filings have also highlighted the need for ongoing monitoring of financial disclosures during the divorce process.
Future rulings may set precedents for how high‑income couples manage post‑conviction settlements.
Lori Loughlin and Mossimo Giannulli remain separated, with each focusing on their family responsibilities while navigating the legal and financial ramifications of their past convictions. Their split is still unfolding, and observers will watch for future filings that may clarify custody arrangements and final divorce terms.
For now, both appear to prioritize stability for their daughters amid the ongoing adjustments.
