Candace Cameron Bure says she continues to support her longtime friend and former Full House costar Lori Loughlin following Loughlin’s divorce from husband Mossimo Giannulli.
Bure, 49, was at the 33rd annual Movieguide Faith & Values Awards Gala on Friday, February 6, when she confirmed that she has been in contact with Loughlin, 61, during the transition.
“I talked to Lori,” Bure said People. “She is one of my dearest friends, so I am always there for her.”
In October, reports emerged that Loughlin and Giannulli, who share daughters Olivia Jade, 26, and Isabella Rose, 27, had split after almost 28 years of marriage. At the time, Loughlin’s rep said the couple was living apart and taking a break, with no legal proceedings pending.
Sources said this later People that the tensions of recent years, including the fallout from the 2019 college admissions scandal, had taken a toll on their marriage.
Both Loughlin and Giannulli pleaded guilty to fraud-related charges after they were accused of paying $500,000 to secure their daughters’ admission to the University of Southern California. Loughlin served two months in prison, while Giannulli served five.
According to insiders, the couple’s relationship never fully recovered after they overcame the legal fallout together. More recently, another source reported that Loughlin and Giannulli are living completely separate lives and are in very different emotional states.
Bure has consistently supported Loughlin over the years, both publicly and privately. She previously said they support each other no matter the circumstances, calling Loughlin “family.”
