Lori Loughlin has made it official. The Full House star filed for divorce from Mossimo Giannulli on Tuesday, ending a marriage that lasted almost 29 years and survived rather a lot along the way.
According to TMZ, which first reported the filing, Loughlin listed August 31, 2025 as the date of separation, meaning the two had already been living apart for roughly a year before the paperwork went in. Her filing cites irreconcilable differences.
The couple married in 1997 and share two daughters, Olivia Jade and Bella Giannulli. Their marriage is perhaps best remembered outside Hollywood circles for the college admissions scandal that sent both Loughlin and Giannulli to prison, a chapter their relationship apparently outlasted, only for it to end anyway.
What the prenup means now
Both TMZ and Just Jared point to a prenuptial agreement signed before the 1997 wedding, later amended in August 2015. Loughlin is asking the court to divide property, assets and debts according to that agreement, and wants Giannulli to cover her attorney's fees and costs. Support arrangements, per TMZ, will reportedly be worked out separately.
The prenup matters because the two built serious individual fortunes before they ever met. Giannulli made his money founding the Mossimo clothing label in 1986, which later struck a licensing deal with Target in 2000 before Iconix Brand Group bought the company in 2006. TMZ reported last year that he was worth more than $100 million by the time he married Loughlin. Celebrity Net Worth now puts the couple's combined fortune at roughly $80 million, though that figure is an estimate and doesn't capture what either of them owns or owes today.
Their real estate history tells its own story. The pair bought a Hidden Hills mansion for $9.5 million in 2020 and sold it for $12.65 million last year. A home in La Quinta's Madison Club, picked up for about $13 million in 2021, went for $16.5 million in late 2025, a $3.5 million profit. Earlier still, a Bel Air property bought for $14 million in 2015 sold for around $18 million in 2020. Whatever else was going on, the flipping worked.
Loughlin, for her part, appears to be moving forward publicly too. She returned to Instagram this past Monday after a long absence, posting a video captioned "Here's to things working out."
No court date has been reported yet, and neither side has commented beyond the filing itself. What happens to those assets, and how quickly this actually gets resolved, is the part nobody's saying out loud just yet.
