After nearly three decades together, actress Lori Loughlin and fashion designer Mossimo Giannulli are taking a step back from their marriage. According to a statement provided to People magazine, the couple is “living apart and taking a break from their marriage”, though no legal divorce proceedings have been filed.
The news comes as a surprise to many fans who have followed their relationship since the late 1990s. The couple tied the knot in November 1997 and built a family together, raising two daughters who have since carved their own public identities.
Family Life and Their Daughters
Loughlin and Giannulli are parents to Olivia Jade and Isabella Rose. Olivia, now a well-known social media influencer and YouTuber, has also made headlines for her rumored romance with Saltburn star Jacob Elordi. Isabella, meanwhile, has largely stayed out of the Hollywood spotlight but maintains a steady presence in fashion and lifestyle circles.
Despite their personal struggles, both parents have remained active in supporting their daughters, who continue to draw public attention in their own right.
Selling Their Los Angeles Home
The couple’s decision to live separately follows another major move earlier this year. In February 2025, they listed their 11,800-square-foot Los Angeles mansion for $16.5 million (£12.3 million). The estate, located in the exclusive Hidden Hills neighborhood, had been their primary residence for years.
Real estate watchers quickly linked the listing to speculation about the state of their marriage, though at the time neither Loughlin nor Giannulli addressed the rumors.
Lori Loughlin’s Marital History
Before marrying Giannulli, Loughlin was previously wed to Michael Burns, an investment banker. That marriage ended in divorce, paving the way for her eventual union with Giannulli. Together, they became one of Hollywood’s long-standing couples, weathering both professional highs and public controversies.
Looking Ahead
While representatives have confirmed that Loughlin and Giannulli are currently separated, they stressed that no divorce paperwork has been filed. For now, the couple appears to be reassessing their relationship while maintaining privacy about their future.
With both their daughters now adults and their careers established outside of their parents’ shadows, the family is entering a new chapter. Whether Loughlin and Giannulli reconcile or choose to move forward separately, their nearly three-decade marriage has left a significant imprint on both their personal lives and their public identities.
