Lori Loughlin Reportedly Ended Marriage to Mossimo Giannulli After Finding ‘Incriminating’ Messages
Lori Loughlin has reportedly ended her marriage to Mossimo Giannulli after discovering a series of “incriminating” messages on his phone, a friend of the Full House star told Page Six.
“Truly, the tipping point came when Lori found a bunch of text messages,” the friend claimed, suggesting the messages and emails left her with no choice but to walk away.
The couple famously served time in prison for their involvement in the *2019 college admissions bribery scandal — often referred to as the “Varsity Blues” scandal. They admitted to paying $500,000 to a fixer to help their daughters, Olivia Jade Giannulli, 26, and Isabella Giannulli, 27, gain admission to University of Southern California by falsely portraying them as rowing recruits.
“Mossimo had used Lori for years,” the friend alleged. “She was hoping maybe he would change when he got out of prison, but he got worse.”
Just hours after news of their split broke, Giannulli, 62, was seen with stylist Hannah Harrison at his G/FORE Supply store in Beverly Hills, California. Harrison, however, insisted the encounter was purely coincidental. “It was bad timing,” she said, explaining that they had simply met up to go shopping.
According to the friend, Loughlin’s daughters are “completely” on their mother’s side. The actress has also been leaning on friends, including James Tupper, with whom she co-starred in Fall Into Winter and Blessings of Christmas on Great American Family.
Loughlin, 60, is currently living in the couple’s home in Hidden Hills, California. The property was listed for $16.5 million in February and has since been reduced to $14.95 million.
Giannulli has reportedly been dividing his time between Orange County and their house in Idaho.
“Every day, we’re met with different obstacles,” Loughlin told First for Women magazine in a cover story last year. “But for me, it’s like that song says: ‘I get knocked down, but I get up again.’”
