Lori Loughlin splits from fashion designer husband five years after college admissions scandal

Lori Loughlin and her husband Mossimo Giannulli have separated, Fox News has learned. The “Full House” alum and her fashion designer husband have been married for nearly 28 years — their anniversary is on Nov. 27. “Lori and Mossimo are living apart,” Loughlin’s rep, Elizabeth Much, told Fox News Digital. “There are no legal proceedings underway.” The couple met in 1995 and got married in 1997.

The separation comes five years after the couple were ensnared in the college admissions scandal, pleading guilty to wire and mail fraud related to paying hundreds of thousands in bribes to get their daughters into the University of Southern California.
