Lori Loughlin is reportedly continuing to wrestle with deep resentment toward her estranged husband, Mossimo Giannulli, months after their highly publicized breakup was revealed.
Ongoing Tension Three Months After Split
According to a source speaking with People, the actress remains “extremely angry,” even three months after the couple confirmed their separation. While the marriage has ended, emotions appear far from settled on Loughlin’s side.
Giannulli Wants A Quiet Resolution
Despite the lingering tension, another insider shared that Giannulli hopes to resolve matters privately and without conflict. The fashion designer reportedly still speaks kindly of Loughlin, describing her as a “lovely person” and praising her role as a devoted mother to their two daughters, Olivia Jade, 26, and Isabella Rose, 27.
Representatives for both Loughlin, 61, and Giannulli, 62, were not immediately available to comment on the situation.
Divorce Not Yet Filed
Although the former couple announced their split in October after nearly 28 years of marriage, divorce paperwork has not yet been filed. Sources confirmed that, legally, the separation has not progressed beyond the initial announcement.
Prison Aftermath And The Breaking Point
Insiders suggest the real fracture in the relationship occurred after both served prison sentences tied to the 2019 college admissions scandal. Loughlin, best known for her role on Full House and later Fuller House, allegedly discovered troubling text messages on Giannulli’s phone after their release.
The couple pleaded guilty in 2020 to paying $500,000 in bribes to secure their daughters’ admission into the University of Southern California as rowing recruits. Loughlin served two months in prison, while Giannulli completed a five-month sentence.
Feelings Of Betrayal Linger
A close friend previously claimed that Loughlin felt used throughout the marriage and hoped Giannulli would change after prison. Instead, she allegedly felt his behavior worsened. Sources say she now wants no personal connection with him and is focused on reclaiming her life and independence.
Another insider echoed this sentiment, stating the college admissions scandal marked a permanent turning point. Loughlin reportedly believed Giannulli orchestrated the scheme, a belief that made forgiveness impossible and prevented the couple from rebuilding their relationship.
Selling Their Shared Life
Before officially ending things, the pair listed their Hidden Hills, California mansion for $16.5 million earlier this year. Since the separation became public, Loughlin has largely stayed out of the spotlight, while Giannulli has occasionally been seen socializing with a significantly younger female companion.
While Lori Loughlin and Mossimo Giannulli have formally announced their separation, unresolved emotions and lingering resentment continue to define their post-marriage dynamic.
The fallout from the college admissions scandal appears to have permanently damaged trust between the two, leaving Loughlin focused on moving forward alone, even as Giannulli seeks a quieter, more amicable resolution. With no divorce filing yet, their story remains unfinished, shaped by past choices and ongoing emotional distance.
