Lori Loughlin has filed for divorce from Mossimo Giannulli after nearly 28 years of marriage.

The Full House actress, 62, filed for divorce on Sept. 4 on grounds of irreconcilable differences, according to court documents. The filing comes more than a year after the pair separated.

Lori Loughlin and Mossimo Giannulli married in November 1997 and remained together for nearly three decades. Their relationship had faced changes in recent years, with the couple confirming their separation more than a year before the divorce filing.

The couple officially confirmed they were taking a break on Aug. 31, 2025, and were also living apart following the decision. At the time, the actress’ spokesperson said in an official statement:

“They are living apart and taking a break from their marriage. There are no legal proceedings at this time.”

Insiders also reported to People that Lori Loughlin’s friends were “rallying behind her,” saying that they disliked Mossimo Giannulli.

“They are very angry with him.”

Meanwhile, the latest court documents also confirm the couple had a prenuptial agreement before their wedding. They later amended the agreement in 2015.

Lori Loughlin and Mossimo Giannulli share two daughters: Isabella Rose Giannulli, 27, and Olivia Jade Giannulli, 26.


Lori Loughlin and Mossimo Giannulli’s college admissions scandal

The former couple became the subject of intense public attention in 2019 after they were charged in the college admissions scandal.

Lori Loughlin and Mossimo Giannulli eventually pleaded guilty to charges related to their daughters’ college admissions. Both served prison sentences before completing their respective sentences.

Loughlin served two months in jail, while Giannulli served five.

A source revealed at the time:

“Things have never been the same after weathering the college admission fallout and the prison sentences together. Lori feels betrayed. They’re in very different places right now, and it’s unlikely that they’ll find their way back together.”

Following the legal case, the actress returned to acting and continued working in television and film. She was featured on Garage Sale Mystery, a Hallmark Mystery show.

The actress also played characters on Curb Your Enthusiasm, Blue Bloods, When Hope Calls (a When Calls the Heart spinoff), as well as When Hope Calls: A Country Christmas.

Giannulli, on the other hand, has remained involved in the fashion business, where he built his career through the Mossimo brand.

The filing does not indicate when the divorce will be finalized. It also confirms the existence of the couple’s prenup, which could factor into the division of their assets as the proceedings move forward.
