Lori Loughlin has aligned her next step after divorce with a path clear of romance.
The “Full House” actress is said to have her focus channeled into several activities, and reentering the dating pool isn’t one of them. This may not come as a complete shock, especially since her recent actions to rebuild her social media presence.
Lori Loughlin filed for divorce from Mossimo Giannulli, whom she wed in 1997. Their marriage of nearly two decades faced a major scandal in 2019, which threw both of them behind bars the following year.
5Romance is reportedly not on Loughlin’s priority list despite her separation and ongoing divorce from Giannulli. Insiders have confirmed that she does not have a new romantic partner, even after separating from her estranged husband over a year ago.
The source also revealed that her decision to file for divorce was not fueled by a new relationship but rather because she simply wants a clean break and a fresh start. According to those with direct knowledge of the situation, the TV personality pulled the plug on her marriage for a simple reason- she no longer wants to be tied to Giannulli.
TMZ reports that even though the former lovebirds had been living separately since last year after growing apart, Loughlin did not consider herself single.
The ‘Full House’ Star Is Keen On Moving On
5Loughlin is more than ready to move on from her soon-to-be ex-husband, not onto another man, partner, or relationship, but with her life. She recently rejoined Instagram after deleting her previous account for years; this is a sign that she is ready for a new chapter.
The actress is reportedly also pushing to advance in her career. She is keeping busy filming movies and has a very packed schedule that leaves little to no time for dating.
The divorce process may be drama-free, as Loughlin noted that she and Giannulli had signed a prenup and would address spousal support later. The issue of child support is seemingly off the table as they share two adult daughters, Olivia Jade and Isabella Rose.
According to court records, she listed August 31, 2025, as the date of their separation. The former couple also sold their Hidden Hills mansion for over $12 million late last year.
Lori Loughlin Reportedly Has Her Work Slate Full
5Just days after making the official move to end her 28-year marriage, Loughlin is already showing her cards and where her priorities are. According to The Blast, the actress is already looking ahead and getting back to work.
Her return to the industry after years on hiatus following the college admissions scandal marks a fresh start for the actress. In case you missed it, Loughlin spent two months behind bars after she and her husband were named in a highly publicized scandal involving paying bribes for their children’s admission into the University of Southern California.
Sources say she is “thrilled to be back working” and is already taking on different projects. They also disclosed that Loughlin is “back at Hallmark working happily,” already filming episodes of “When Calls the Heart,” which is expected to hit screens next year.
Her comeback movie, “Garage Sale Mystery,” will be airing on Hallmark on September 17, and she has another holiday movie in the works.
The USC Admissions Scandal Left Their Marriage Fractured
5Even though Giannulli and Loughlin remained married for about five years after the legal drama, it put a huge strain on their relationship. Their marriage never fully recovered, and the dynamics changed significantly afterward.
According to an insider, the scandal created problems for the former lovebirds that they were never able to move past, especially Loughlin, who was said to have carried resentment over Giannulli’s role in the whole drama.
“She didn’t fully blame him, but he spearheaded it,” the source revealed, adding that the actress “never fully forgave him and never fully got over it.”
The Blast noted that time did not heal their wounds, and they gradually became distant over the years as Olivia and Isabella grew older. Although the initial tension of the legal trouble subsided, it wasn’t something the TV star could easily throw on the back burner.
Lori Loughlin Reportedly Tried To Give Her Marriage A Fighting Chance
5The former lovebirds had faced different hurdles during their nearly three-decade-long romance. According to insiders, there have been issues between the pair over Loughlin’s “Full House” co-star and on-screen love interest, John Stamos.
Giannulli believed that his estranged wife and Stamos were more than friends. He reportedly noticed how her eyes would light up whenever Stamos walked into the room and saw it as competition for his ex’s affection.
On his part, the father of two was reportedly a regular at the Skin on Robertson club in Los Angeles for years. The Blast reported that Loughlin “ended up going down there to talk to the women and find out what he was doing … she actually sat down with the strippers.”
A family friend shared that she was not ready to give up on their marriage despite his activities and made this move in an attempt to understand him more and sort out their issues. An effort that ultimately went down the drain.
Cheers to a fresh start for Lori Loughlin!
