Lori Loughlin has split from husband Mossimo Giannulli after a 28-year marriage.
The Queens, New York-born actress, 61, and fashion designer, 62, who memorably served sentences concurrently for their convictions in the college admission bribery case, share two daughters: Isabella ‘Bella’ Rose, 27, and Olivia Jade Giannulli, 26.
‘They are living apart and taking a break from their marriage. There are no legal proceedings at this time,’ Loughlin’s representative Elizabeth Much told People.
The Daily Mail has contacted representatives for comment and has yet to hear back.
The split comes after the star was seen apparently being comforted by Anne Heche‘s ex-partner and her former co-star James Tupper outside the Bird Streets Club in Los Angeles on Wednesday.
Loughlin starred with Tupper, 60, in 2023 TV film Fall Into Winter. She subsequently appeared in the 2024 movie A Christmas Blessing with the actor.

In May 2020, Loughlin and Giannulli pleaded guilty in connection with conspiracy charges in the college admission bribery case.
Loughlin, a cast member on the hit sitcom Full House and its Netflix reboot, received a two-month jail sentence along with a fine of $150,000 and 150 hours of community service following the guilty plea.
Loughlin, who played Rebecca ‘Aunt Becky’ Katsopolis on the family comedy, began her sentence at a federal prison in Dublin, California in October of 2020 and was released that December.
Loughlin’s husband Giannulli received a five-month sentence with a fine of $250,000 and 250 hours of community service.
Giannulli began his prison sentence in November of 2020. The fashion designer was transferred to home confinement in April of 2021, about a month before his sentence ended.
The celeb couple were busted in what was called Operation Varsity Blues – a massive nationwide scandal which involved 33 parents.
At the center of the case was Loughlin and Giannulli’s youngest daughter, influencer Olivia Jade, 26. (They are also parents to Isabella Rose, 27.)
In YouTube videos posted before the scandal erupted, Olivia told fans she didn’t ‘really care about school’ and was more interested in the social scene as she prepared for her upcoming college experience.

The influencer gave her followers advice on applying to universities – just days before federal agents arrested her parents for their involvement in the conspiracy.
She has since apologized for the comments, and has returned to social media after a brief hiatus after the scandal unraveled in March 2019.
Earlier this year, she insisted she was a ‘straight A student’ who ‘worked really hard’ in high school even before her parents paid $500,000 for her to get into the University of Southern California.
Professionally, Loughlin’s legal troubles kept her sidelined from Fuller House’s fifth season.
Her return to the small screen came in late 2021 appearing on a two-part Christmas special for the series When Hope Calls.
She appeared on her first red carpet in the wake of the scandal in June of 2022 when she made an appearance at RJ’s Place for the DesignCare 2022 Gala, benefitting the HollyRod Foundation.

Loughlin last year spoofed the legal mishap opposite Larry David on Curb Your Enthusiasm in the sixth episode of the show’s 12th season.
Loughlin played a fictionalized version of herself, seeking David’s help in helping her rejoin exclusive golf club after she was kicked out following the scandal.
David has second thoughts after Loughlin, an avid golf enthusiast, engages in ruthless tactics once she’s let back into the club with David’s help.
Executive producer Jeff Schaffer told The Hollywood Reporter ‘We called her manager up, who loved it, and who then talked to Lori, and she said: “I’m in, I’m totally game.”
‘And she was. She was so great. Everything we threw at her, she was game to do. She makes the episode. I’m so glad she wanted to do it.’
