Lori Loughlin is facing challenges after parting ways with her husband of nearly 28 years, fashion designer Mossimo Giannulli.
The 61-year-old actress, known for her role in “Full House,” is reportedly far from content, according to a source cited by People.
A friend revealed to the publication on Tuesday, “Lori feels betrayed.”
“It’s not a happy situation for her,” the insider continued. “They’re in very different places right now, and it seems unlikely that they’ll reconcile.”
The couple, while separated, has yet to file any official documents and are currently “living apart and focusing on separate priorities.”
Loughlin and Giannulli share two daughters, Olivia, 26, and Bella, 27. Giannulli also has a son named Gianni from a previous relationship.

The problems are not new.
They began when the two were busted for paying $500,000 to help their kids get into college.
‘Things have never been the same’ for the couple after they ‘weathered the college admission fallout and the prison sentences together,’ a source told People.
Both had to spent time in the slammer: Loughlin spent two months in jail and Giannulli served a five-month sentence.
Last week it was hinted Mossimo had been with another woman.
Loughlin reportedly had discovering a trove of ‘incriminating’ text messages and emails.
A source described as a friend of the actress told Page Six that Loughlin split from Giannulli after finding the messages on his phone.
‘Truly, the tipping point came when Lori found a bunch of text messages,’ the friend claimed.
The Daily Mail has reached out to Loughlin’s representative for comment but hasn’t yet received a response.
The latest details come just two weeks after Giannulli was pictured shopping in Beverly Hills with the 32-year-old stylist Hannah Harrison, who denied any romantic entanglement.

Hannah Harrison later told Us Weekly that she and Giannulli had a strictly ‘platonic’ relationship, and she described the photos of the two together as a matter of ‘bad timing,’ as she allegedly went to meet him at his G/FORE Supply clothing store in Beverly Hills
‘Mossimo had used Lori for years,’ the friend went on to claim. ‘She was hoping maybe he would change when he got out of prison, but he got worse.’
Loughlin now reportedly ‘wants to have nothing to do with’ her estranged husband. ‘She wants to get her life back,’ Loughlin’s friend said of the convicted felon.
The report follows an update from the stylist Giannulli had been pictured with after his separation was announced.
Hannah Harrison later told Us Weekly that she and Giannulli had a strictly ‘platonic’ relationship, and she described the photos of the two together as a matter of ‘bad timing,’ as she allegedly went to meet him at his G/FORE Supply clothing store in Beverly Hills to do some shopping while ‘not knowing that his separation had been announced.’
‘He was introducing me to the guys there so I could pull clothes [for Giannulli’s brand],’ she explained.
Harrison also stressed that she and Giannulli drove to the store separately, where photographers spotted them.
‘We were not there together [and] we are not dating. We are good friends,’ she declared. ‘He was just meeting me at the store.’
The day before Loughlin and Giannulli’s split, she was pictured being comforted outside the exclusive Bird Streets social club in West Hollywood by the actor James Tupper, who was the former partner of the late Anne Heche.
The two had starred together in the Great American Family TV movies Fall Into Winter (2023) and Blessings Of Christmas (2024).
According to Page Six, Loughlin is currently residing at her family home in Hidden Hills, California.
In February, it was reported that she and Giannulli, who bought the mansion for $9.5 million in 2020, had put it on the market for $16.5 million.
However, the asking price has since been lowered to a reported $14.95 million.

Meanwhile, sources told Page Six that Giannulli was dividing his time between Orange County, just south of LA, and another family home located in Idaho.
Giannulli is a successful fashion designer who founded Mossimo, a mid-range clothing company, in 1986 in Newport Beach, California.
During his first year in business, he grossed $1 million, and the following year, he made $4 million.
Mossimo expanded the line in 1991 to include sweatshirts, knits, and sweaters, and by 1995, the collection included women’s clothing and men’s suits.
After eight years in business, Mossimo, Inc. had grown into a multimillion-dollar lifestyle sportswear company, which had its initial public offering in 1996.
In 2000, Mossimo, Inc. inked a major multi-product licensing agreement with Target stores, for $27.8 million, which made his brand a household name. Mossimo was subsequently acquired by the Iconix Brand Group in 2006.
