Hauppauge's Lori Loughlin, husband Mossimo Giannulli, separate after nearly 28 years of marriage

Hauppauge-raised actor Lori Loughlin, whose work from "Full House" in the 1980s to this year’s streaming series "On Call" has endeared her to generations, has separated from her husband of nearly 28 years, fashion designer Mossimo Giannulli.

"Lori and Mossimo are living apart and taking a break from their marriage," Loughlin’s representative confirmed to Newsday. People magazine, which first reported the news, said the statement then included, "There are no legal proceedings at this time."

Neither member of the couple has any evident social media and neither has commented additionally.

The couple wed on Nov. 25, 1997. They have two daughters, Isabella Rose, 27, and Olivia Jade, 26. Giannulli also has a son, Gianni, who turns 35 on Oct. 19, with his first wife, Chris Giannulli. Loughlin previously was married to investment banker and later studio executive Michael Burns from June 1989 until separating in 1996 and subsequently divorcing.

Loughlin and Giannulli in February put up for sale their six-bedroom home in the Ashley Ridge Estates section of the gated town of Hidden Hills, California, where one neighbor is Loughlin's old "Full House" castmate John Stamos. According to the current listing by Christie’s Real Estate, the mansion is priced at $14.95 million. The couple purchased it for $9.5 million in 2020 after selling their estate in Los Angeles’ tony Bel Air neighborhood.

Hauppauge High School graduate Loughlin, 61, was born in Queens and moved with her family to Long Island when she was a year old, first to Oceanside and then Hauppauge. She is best known as Aunt Becky on "Full House" (ABC 1987-95) and its 2016-20 Netflix sequel series, "Fuller House."

She went on to star in The WB’s "Summerland," which she co-created; ABC's "Hudson Street" with Tony Danza; The CW's "90210"; and, from 2014 to 2019, on Hallmark Channel’s "When Calls the Heart," as well as in numerous telefilms, including the "Garage Sale Mystery" franchise.

Loughlin faced legal issues as one of dozens of parents arrested in a 2019 federal college-admissions investigation, and ultimately served 2 months in prison. She returned to acting with a two-episode arc of Great American Family’s "When Calls the Heart" spinoff, "When Hope Calls," in 2021. She then starred in that cable network’s telefilms "Fall Into Winter" and "A Christmas Blessing" in 2023. Loughlin then spoofed herself and her travails in an episode of HBO’s "Curb Your Enthusiasm" the following year.

She additionally guest-starred in the Nov. 8 episode of CBS’ "Blue Bloods,” reprising the role of police widow Grace Edwards she had played in a 2016 episode of the beloved police-family drama. In the episode, Edwards had become a lawyer who goes up against NYPD Commissioner Frank Reagan (Tom Selleck) to rescind an honor awarded to his police-detective son, Danny Reagan (Donnie Wahlberg).

Most recently, Loughlin played Lt. Bishop of the Long Beach, California, Police Department, in the Dick Wolf-produced Prime Video series, "On Call."
