A High-Profile Hollywood Marriage
Loughlin and Giannulli married in 1997 and went on to raise two daughters — Isabella Rose and Olivia Jade. For years, they were regarded as one of Hollywood’s more enduring couples, balancing careers in entertainment and fashion while maintaining family life in Los Angeles.
Their marriage, however, faced a major turning point in 2019 during the college admissions scandal. Prosecutors alleged the couple paid $500,000 to have their daughters falsely listed as rowing recruits for the University of Southern California. Both eventually pled guilty to conspiracy charges, resulting in short federal prison terms and fines.
Real Estate Moves Fuel Speculation
Earlier this year, the couple listed their Hidden Hills, California mansion for $16.5 million. The property — an 11,800-square-foot home they bought in 2020 — became the subject of speculation, with media outlets linking the sale to possible marital strain.
Now, the separation confirmation has given clarity: the pair are no longer living together, though insiders emphasize no divorce paperwork has been filed.
Loughlin’s Career Rebound
Since her release, Loughlin has slowly rebuilt her professional life. She appeared in Blue Bloods, Curb Your Enthusiasm, and When Hope Calls. In interviews, she has spoken about forgiveness and resilience, reflecting on how public challenges reshaped her outlook.
Giannulli, by contrast, has remained largely private, focusing on family and business matters outside the spotlight.
What Comes Next?
At present, both Loughlin and Giannulli appear focused on privacy and supporting their daughters. Whether this separation leads to reconciliation or a permanent divorce remains uncertain.
For Hollywood watchers, however, it marks the end of a long-running partnership—one that has endured success, scandal, and now, separation.
