Actress Lori Loughlin has officially filed for divorce from fashion designer Mossimo Giannulli, seeking to dissolve their marriage after nearly three decades. Court documents filed in Los Angeles reveal that Loughlin initiated the proceedings, citing irreconcilable differences and listing the official date of separation as August 31, 2025. The couple married in November 1997 and share two adult daughters, Isabella and Olivia Jade. The filing confirms the existence of a premarital agreement, while determinations regarding spousal support have been deferred. The legal action follows a public separation announced in October 2025, which came after years of intense scrutiny surrounding their involvement in the 2019 college admissions scandal. Both pleaded guilty in 2020 to conspiracy charges related to a $500,000 payment to secure their daughters' admission to the University of Southern California, serving brief federal prison sentences. The couple subsequently sold their Hidden Hills mansion for $12.65 million late last year.
