Lori Loughlin is not facing her recent separation from husband Mossimo Giannulli alone. The actress has a strong support system of friends and family helping her through this difficult time. According to a close source, many of Lori's friends have also gone through similar experiences, which has allowed them to offer valuable guidance and emotional support.
"They’re rallying behind her," the insider shared. "They do not like him. They are very angry with him."
As previously reported, the Full House alum has been deeply affected by her split from Giannulli, her husband of nearly 28 years. While early rumors suggested the couple might eventually reconcile, sources now believe that a reunion is unlikely. However, those close to the couple were not surprised by the news.
"People around Lori and Mossimo have known they have been going through a really hard time in the last year. This isn’t a shock to people around them," one source explained. "It has been a rough time for Lori," they continued, confirming "she is devastated."
The past few years have been particularly challenging for the couple, and their relationship has been strained as a result. According to another insider, things have never been the same since the longtime pair faced the college admission scandal and served prison sentences together.
The pair’s world changed completely in 2020 when they pleaded guilty to wire and mail fraud. Prosecutors alleged that they paid $500,000 to secure their daughters, Olivia Jade and Isabella “Bella” Rose, admission into USC. Loughlin served two months in prison, while Giannulli spent five months behind bars.
Since their release, the couple attempted to maintain a united front, but insiders say they have been living apart and pursuing separate priorities. "Lori feels betrayed," the insider revealed. "It's not a happy situation for her. They're in very different places right now and it's unlikely that they'll find their way back together."
Things reportedly worsened when Loughlin discovered "incriminating" text messages on her husband’s phone. "Truly, the tipping point came when Lori found a bunch of text messages," a source told Page Six. "Mossimo had used Lori for years. She was hoping maybe he would change when he got out of prison, but he got worse," the insider added, referencing his release in 2021.
Complicating matters further, Loughlin may not receive any of Mossimo’s substantial fortune in the divorce. She signed a prenuptial agreement in 1997 that keeps their finances entirely separate. "It's something Mossimo insisted on before they married," the insider said. "Mossimo was worth north of $100 million at the time."
Despite these challenges, insiders claim Loughlin wants "nothing to do with" him moving forward. She is focused on rebuilding her life, and her daughters are firmly supporting her as she moves on.
