Inside Lori Loughlin and Mossimo Giannulli's Hidden Hills Mansion They Shared Through Their Hardest Years — and Later Left Behind — Photos

Lori Loughlin and Mossimo Giannulli built a life through fame, scandal, and prison. One of its most expensive pieces was a Hidden Hills mansion they later left behind.

Years before Loughlin filed for divorce, the couple began trying to sell the home they bought during one of the hardest periods of their marriage. Its before-and-after photos tell much of the story.

Loughlin And Giannulli Built Success In Two Very Different Industries

Loughlin was already a familiar television face long before her marriage became the subject of national headlines.

Born July 28, 1964, in New York City, Loughlin began modeling at 11 and later moved into commercials. She told Salon in 2018 that she was almost 16 when she landed a role on the soap opera "The Edge of Night," where she worked for three and a half years.

The young actress said she entered the job with little experience. But the set gave her an early lesson about the instability of the entertainment business.

"You are always replaceable and to be humble and thankful," Loughlin said, recalling how another actor was temporarily replaced after suffering a serious accident.

Her career stretched across decades. IMDb lists Loughlin as an actress and producer known for "Full House," "Summerland," and "When Calls the Heart." Her role on "Full House" remained the one audiences most closely associated with her.

Giannulli built his name in fashion instead. A 1996 Los Angeles Times profile reported that Giannulli founded Mossimo in 1987 after receiving a $100,000 loan from his father. The business began in a Newport Beach garage before expanding from casual beachwear into a much larger apparel company.

By 1995, Mossimo had reported $71.9 million in revenue and $19.1 million in profit, according to the newspaper. The company went public in February 1996.

Giannulli described himself as deeply involved in its direction. "Some people have called me a control freak," he told the LA Times while discussing his management style.

Loughlin and Giannulli married in 1997. They went on to raise daughters Isabella Rose, also known as Bella, and Olivia Jade Giannulli.

Loughlin spoke about both daughters in her 2018 interview. At the time, she said her wish was for them "always to be happy and healthy."

A Legal Crisis Put The Couple In The Spotlight

In 2019, Loughlin and Giannulli became embroiled in the college admissions scandal involving their daughters.

The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) announced in May 2020 that the couple had agreed to plead guilty to conspiracy charges connected to securing the fraudulent admission of their two children to the University of Southern California (USC) as purported athletic recruits.

Loughlin agreed to plead guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit wire and mail fraud. Giannulli agreed to plead guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit wire and mail fraud and honest services wire and mail fraud.

Their sentences followed in August 2020. The DOJ said a federal judge sentenced Loughlin to two months in prison, two years of supervised release, and 100 hours of community service. She was also ordered to pay a $150,000 fine.

Giannulli received five months in prison, two years of supervised release, and 250 hours of community service. He was ordered to pay a $250,000 fine.

Loughlin surrendered to the Federal Correctional Institution in Dublin, California, on October 30, 2020. According to Good Morning America, she was released on December 28 after serving nearly two months.

Giannulli began serving his sentence at a federal prison in Lompoc, California, on November 19, 2020. CNN reported that he left the prison on April 2, 2021, and moved into supervised release, with his full release scheduled for April 17.

The couple stayed together after the scandal and their sentences. But another major change was waiting several years ahead.

Their 28-Year Marriage Was Coming To An End

Loughlin later identified August 31, 2025, as the date she and Giannulli separated, according to TMZ. The two had been living apart for months.

Nearly a year later, Loughlin formally filed for divorce on September 8, 2026, citing irreconcilable differences. The couple had signed a prenuptial agreement before their marriage, while support remained to be determined.

The filing marked the end of a marriage that had lasted nearly three decades and survived the college admissions scandal and prison time. But by then, Loughlin and Giannulli had already let go of something else they once shared.

Their Mansion Went From $17.5 Million To $12.65 Million

Loughlin and Giannulli listed their 11,800-square-foot Hidden Hills mansion for $16.5 million, according to People.

The couple had bought the home for $9.5 million in August 2020 and lived there during the fallout from the college admissions scandal. The mansion became the home they shared in the years that followed.

Tomer Fridman of Christie's International Real Estate and Marc Shevin of Douglas Elliman held the listing.

However, $16.5 million was not the home's original asking price. According to Realtor, Loughlin and Giannulli first put the mansion on the market for $17.5 million in April 2024. After failing to find a buyer, they took it off the market for four months before relisting it for $16.5 million.

When the lower price still failed to secure a deal, the couple cut the asking price again to $14.95 million. Property records later showed that they ultimately accepted $12.65 million.

The final sale price was $4.85 million below the original $17.5 million ask and $2.3 million below the final $14.95 million asking price.

The sale also came at a significant point in their marriage. It was reported in November 2025, one month after Loughlin and Giannulli revealed that they were "taking a break" from their 28-year marriage.

But before the mansion changed hands, its photos offered a look at the estate Loughlin and Giannulli had called home.

Before: What The Hidden Hills Estate Looked Like When They Bought It

The connection between the house and the backyard becomes clearer at ground level. Large openings face the lawn, while a covered patio provides a sheltered outdoor gathering space.

Inside, the entrance introduces the home's mix of white walls, natural wood, and black details. The foyer rises two stories, with an open gallery overlooking the space below.

The home also included a dedicated space for its wine collection.

The main gathering spaces maintained the neutral palette but varied in their finishes. One living room relied heavily on black-and-white furnishings, while another brought warmer wood into its built-ins.

A dedicated theater offered a sharp contrast to the home's brighter common areas.

Outside, another aerial perspective shows how the pool, lawn, and covered patios fit together behind the residence.

Back inside, another view of the foyer highlights the staircase and the height of the entrance.

The kitchen completes the look at the home as it appeared around the time Loughlin and Giannulli bought it.

After: The Home Took On A More Refined Look

The later listing photos show how Loughlin and Giannulli personalized the Hidden Hills mansion. While much of its contemporary foundation remained, warmer wood tones, restrained furnishings, and personal details gave the interiors a different character.

That shift is visible from the entry. Wood floors run through the double-height space, while black railings line the staircase and open gallery above.

From the foyer, a wide wood-trimmed opening leads into the formal living room. Its vaulted ceiling and skylights make the room one of the brightest spaces in the house.

The dining room brings stronger color into the otherwise neutral interior. Blue upholstered chairs surround a long wood table beneath a geometric arrangement of black ceiling lights.

That view leads directly to the wine room. The bottle racks remain a major feature, but a motorcycle now occupies the center of the glass-enclosed space.

The kitchen remained bright, with white cabinetry and pale stone covering much of the room. Warm wood appears in the flooring, open shelving, and five stools lined up along the oversized island.

The family room offers a more relaxed gathering space. Built-in bookshelves flank the fireplace, while a television hangs above it, and large openings bring the backyard directly into view.

That indoor-outdoor connection continues beneath the covered patio, where a long table faces the lawn and pool.

The pool itself sits among established trees and hedges, with lounge chairs arranged along the water.

The image returns to the front of the house and shows how different its exterior appears from the wood-heavy version seen in the earlier photos.

Viewers Had Very Different Reactions to the Mansion

The multimillion-dollar estate drew sharply different reactions from people who saw it online.

On YouTube, a user praised its first impression, writing, "Any property listed over 1,000,000 should have a wow factor when a person walks in. This property does the that [sic]!"

Another viewer focused on the location rather than a particular feature of the house, declaring, "Hidden Hills is paradise on earth." Not everyone was impressed. Someone else summed up their reaction to the property in a single word: "Soulless [sic]."

For years, the Hidden Hills estate reflected a changing period in Loughlin and Giannulli's lives. The before-and-after photos now offer a lasting glimpse of how the property evolved while they called it home.

The mansion has since passed to a new owner, but the images preserve the version Lori Loughlin and Giannulli left behind — one of the last major properties they shared before going their separate ways.
