Lori Loughlin Returns Publicly After Announcing Split from Mossimo Giannulli

Lori Loughlin appeared in public for the first time since revealing her separation from husband Mossimo Giannulli after 28 years of marriage. The actress attended an event in Los Angeles, marking her initial outing amid the personal news. She confirmed the split through a statement emphasizing mutual respect and family focus.

Loughlin, aged 61, gained prominence as Aunt Becky on the sitcom ‘Full House’ and its revival ‘Fuller House.’ The couple married in 1997 and share two daughters, Isabella and Olivia Jade. Giannulli, a fashion designer, co-founded the Mossimo brand sold to Iconix in 2006.

The separation follows their involvement in the 2019 college admissions scandal. Both pleaded guilty to conspiracy charges, serving prison terms—Loughlin for two months and Giannulli for five. They paid fines and completed community service as part of plea deals.

Loughlin has gradually resumed acting roles post-scandal. She starred in GAC Family holiday films and reprised her ‘When Calls the Heart’ character in spin-offs. Recent projects include guest appearances on ‘Curb Your Enthusiasm.’

Giannulli maintained a lower public profile during the legal proceedings. The couple sold their Bel-Air mansion in 2022 for $18 million. They focused on family recovery in the intervening years.

Public reaction to the split announcement remained measured. Sources described the decision as amicable after long consideration. Loughlin’s representatives declined further comment beyond the initial statement.

The actress continues professional commitments, including upcoming television projects. Her return aligns with ongoing career rehabilitation efforts. Daughters have pursued influencer and entrepreneurial paths independently.

This development closes a chapter for the couple known for enduring public scrutiny. Loughlin’s public appearance signals forward momentum personally and professionally. The split proceeds without reported legal contention.
