Hollywood’s corridors are rife with whispers of Lori Loughlin and Mossimo Giannulli’s looming divorce, clouded by a prenuptial agreement that reportedly ‘does not benefit’ the actress.
Splitting Assets and Hearts
When Lori Loughlin, 61, and Mossimo Giannulli, 62, tied the knot in 1997, they signed a prenuptial agreement keeping their premarital assets separate. Once a fashionable duo, their love story is now fraying at the edges. A source told Us Weekly that Giannulli, a fashion designer, remains financially solid despite the prenup offering little to his estranged wife, Loughlin. \\”He is still worth a lot of money and the prenup does not benefit her,\\” the source revealed.
Living Apart
Having shared nearly three decades of marriage, the duo has been leading separate lives for months. Though yet to file for divorce, their October 2 statement confirmed a ‘separation.’ Friends had sensed trouble for a while. \\”This isn’t a shock to people around them,\\” a second insider shared, noting that a reconciliation seems improbable. \\”They will not reconcile, there is currently no chance, and will ultimately divorce.\\”
The Mangled Timeline
While Loughlin is grappling with this personal upheaval, she hasn’t ventured back into dating just yet. Giannulli, however, has already been linked to 32-year-old stylist Hannah Harrison. Rumors of romance were downplayed by Harrison, who clarified her visit was purely professional. \\”I feel like it was bad timing,\\” she remarked about meeting Giannulli at a clothing store just after their separation became public. \\”He was introducing me to the guys there so I could pull clothes for Giannulli’s brand, G/FORE.\\”
Family Dynamics
Their daughters, Bella, 27, and Olivia Jade, 26, were reportedly not blindsided by their parent’s decision to part ways. \\”They had seen the way their parents were interacting in the last year and knew this was coming,\\” noted another source. Despite the split, the transition has been described as calm, more an adjustment than a disruption.
Dark Times Past
The couple’s relationship had already weathered storms, notably the infamous college admissions scandal. Accused of using bribes to gain college spots for their daughters, they initially pleaded not guilty to fraud charges. By 2020, both had changed their pleas and faced time in prison. Released in April 2021 after serving five months, Giannulli followed Loughlin’s earlier two-month incarceration. They paid hefty fines as part of their punishment.
Friends Stand By
\\”40 years I’ve known her. You can see through people after a few years,\\” longtime friend and Full House costar John Stamos said during a podcast. \\”This woman’s a saint. I’m just heartbroken for her right now.\\”

Stamos also alleged that Giannulli was a \\”terrible narcissist,\\” expressing his unwavering support for Loughlin through both personal and legal troubles. \\”I really tried to be there for her during this time and also with the college scandal,\\” he added, defending Loughlin’s integrity.
Loughlin was previously wed to Michael Burns from 1989 to 1996. Giannulli, too, has a family beyond his current tumultuous chapter, sharing a son, Gianni, 34, with ex-wife Chris Giannulli.
