Lori Loughlin files for divorce from Mosimo Giannulli after a 28-year marriage that saw them jailed for the college admissions scandal.

Lori Loughlin has filed for divorce from fashion designer Mossimo Giannulli after a marriage that lasted more than 28 years.

Last October, it was reported that Loughlin and Giannulli, who share daughters Olivia Jade, 26, and Isabella “Bella” Rose, 27, had split.

The former couple infamously served multiple prison sentences for their roles in the “varsity blues” college admissions scandal, which involved fraudulent means of getting their children into the University of Southern California (USC).

In her divorce filing, Loughlin listed their separation date as Aug. 31, 2025, and cited irreconcilable differences as the basis for ending their union.

The financial support agreement will be concluded at some point in the future, Loughlin explained in legal documents obtained by the Daily Mail.

The couple signed a prenuptial agreement on October 28, 1997 – a month before they eloped – and amended it on August 11, 2015.

Loughlin’s attorneys are Christina Royce, whose celebrities include Channing Tatum and Jeff Garlin, and Sarah Luetto.

The Daily Mail has contacted Loughlin’s representatives for comment.

Immediately after their split, a source claimed that Loughlin left Giannulli after discovering a stash of “incriminating” emails and texts on his phone.

“Truly, the breaking point came when Laurie found a bunch of text messages,” a friend of the Full House actress sensationally told Page Six.

“Mossimo has been using Laurie for years,” the insider said. “She hoped that maybe he would change when he got out of prison, but he got worse.”

News of the split comes hours after a distraught Loughlin was spotted in a comforting embrace with her friend and one-time co-star James Tapper, who was previously linked to the late Anne Heche, via TMZ.

Meanwhile, on the day Giannulli’s split from Loughlin became public, he was spotted in Beverly Hills with 32-year-old stylist Hannah Harrison.

Harrison took action to clarify the nature of their relationship, insisting that her relationship with the fashion designer was strictly “platonic,” according to Us Weekly.

“I don’t think it was the right time,” she said, claiming she met him through her job at his G/FORE brand, “not knowing his separation had been announced.”

Giannulli and Loughlin eloped two days before Thanksgiving 1997, two years after she ended her stellar career on the hit sitcom Full House.

They gained searing publicity as a couple during the college admissions scandal that landed them both behind bars.

In 2019, Loughlin and Giannulli were caught bribing their daughters’ admission to the University of Southern California by paying $500,000 to a middleman to falsely pass off Olivia and Bella as potential varsity rowers.

On the day her parents were indicted, Olivia was vacationing on the yacht of billionaire USC board of trustees chairman Rick Caruso, who later ran unsuccessfully for mayor of Los Angeles against current incumbent Karen Bass.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, she was apparently on the boat with Caruso’s daughter Gigi, who was Olivia’s age and also a freshman at the University of Southern California.

Olivia and Bella were accepted into the university, but after a scandal broke out over their admission, it was announced that they would no longer be accepted.

Shortly before the controversy, Olivia, now a successful YouTuber, posted a video in which she lightheartedly noted that she “didn’t really care about school” and was more looking forward to the social life at USC.

However, last year she publicly stated that she was an “A student” who “worked really hard” during high school.

Although Giannulli and Loughlin initially maintained their innocence, he pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit wire and mail fraud and honest services and mail fraud, while she pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit wire and mail fraud.

Loughlin spent two months in federal prison in Dublin, California, before being released in December 2020, days before the New Year.

Meanwhile, Giannulli had to spend five months in prison for his role in the bribery scheme and was eventually released in early April 2021.

Since her release, Loughlin has shown a sense of humor about the confusing situation by parodying herself in a 2024 episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm in which she attempts to regain her membership at a golf club that had abandoned her due to scandal.

“We called her manager, who loved it, and then talked to Laurie, and she said, ‘I’m in, I’m all in,'” the long-running sitcom’s executive producer Jeff Shaffer told the Hollywood Reporter.

– And she was. She was so wonderful. Whatever we threw at her, she was ready to do. She does this episode. I’m so glad she wanted to do it.”

Loughlin underscored her generosity that year when she made a rare public comment about the fallout from the scandal.

“I try to be a forgiving person. I’m not one to hold on to things. Things happen to everyone. We have all been able to ask for forgiveness, but in order to ask for it, we must also learn and know how to forgive,” she told First for Women.

“My family is not one to hold grudges. I didn’t grow up in a family where if you made a mistake you weren’t forgiven,” Loughlin recalled. “Nobody is perfect, we all make mistakes. That’s why I was always told to leave everything as it is. And I think for the sake of your health, you should let go, because you can’t hold on to negativity. Life is too short.
