It's all over for Lori Loughlin and her husband, Mossimo Giannulli, who have decided to go their separate ways after nearly 28 years of marriage.

The Full House actress' rep told PEOPLE: 'They are living apart and taking a break from their marriage. There are no legal proceedings at this time.'

Lori and Mossimo share two daughters - Olivia Jade and Isabella Rose Giannulli - and if you don't recognise Lori from Full House, you'll probably remember her from the 2020 College Admissions Scandal which saw her and Mossimo sentenced to time in jail.

The estranged couple were found guilty of conspiracy to commit wire and mail fraud and sentenced at a virtual hearing in August 2020.

After the couple's guilty plea, a source told Us Weekly that Lori and Mossimo hoped to serve their time behind bars separately. The insider said: 'Among the reasons, even though their daughters are adults, Lori wants one parent to be free to provide emotional support to the girls.'

Lori and her husband were sentenced to jail time for paying $500,000 (€423,785) to get her daughters into the University of Southern California.

The actress, 61, surrendered to the authorities nearly three weeks before her deadline. At the time, an insider told Us Weekly that her husband was by her side when she turned herself in.

The estranged couple's split comes after they listed their 11,800 sq ft mansion in Hidden Hills for $16.5million in February, a property they purchased in August 2020 for $9.5million.
