Mossimo Giannulli filed his response to Lori Loughlin’s divorce petition on Thursday, October 15, 2026, in Los Angeles Superior Court. Page Six reported it first. The fashion designer, 63, agreed with his wife on one point. Both cite irreconcilable differences. On money, the filing goes somewhere hers did not.
Mossimo’s Divorce Filing Details
Loughlin, 62, filed her petition early last month. She asked that properties, assets and debts be split according to the couple’s prenuptial agreement. They signed it one month before their November 1997 wedding and amended it in August 2015. She also asked that spousal support be decided later, and that each side pay its own lawyers.
Giannulli’s filing never mentions the prenup.
He asked the court instead to “determine whether spousal support shall be payable to either party,” according to Page Six. He also wants a judge to decide whether one of them should contribute to the other’s legal fees. Us Weekly reported the same requests from the documents it obtained.
Then there is the blank. Loughlin listed their date of separation as August 31, 2025. Giannulli left that field empty.
Small detail. Dates of separation can matter in how property gets divided, and he declined to put one down.
Lori’s Response and Support from Daughters
Loughlin has not publicly responded to the filing, according to Us Weekly, which said it reached out for comment. Neither of them has spoken publicly about the reasons for the split.
Page Six first reported the separation last October. A rep for Loughlin said at the time that the two were living apart and that no legal proceedings were underway. Later that month, a source close to the Full House star told Page Six that the couple’s two daughters were completely in their mother’s corner. Neither daughter has said so publicly.
Us Weekly heard from a separate source in October 2025 that the prenup does not benefit Loughlin and that Giannulli is still worth a lot of money. The same source said she doesn’t have a vindictive bone in her body.
Loughlin herself has been talking about something else entirely. In an interview with Us Weekly earlier this month, she described stepping outside her comfort zone as exhilarating and spoke about prioritizing herself now that she is an empty nester. “It’s the year of yes,” she said.
Two Filings, Two Different Plans for the Money
Twenty-eight years of marriage, and the paperwork now shows two people who agree it is over and disagree on almost everything after that.
Her petition reads like a plan made long ago. Use the prenup. Sort support later. Pay your own lawyers. His reads like a request to reopen the questions. Who supports whom. Who covers whose fees. When the marriage actually stopped.
Long marriages rarely end on a single date, which is part of why that empty field stands out. One spouse can point to a day on the calendar. The other may not see it that way, or may simply not want to commit to it in writing. A prenup signed in 1997 and amended in 2015 was meant to settle the money long before anyone needed it settled. Giannulli’s filing treats it as though it is not in the room.
Loughlin’s public words point forward. She talked about trying things that feel edgier, about kids out on their own, about looking out for herself. None of that addresses the filing, and she has not said anything that does.
Giannulli wants a judge to decide whether spousal support goes to either of them, and whether one pays toward the other’s legal costs. Neither has said what happens next.
