The estranged couple share two adult children: Bella Rose, 26, and Olivia Jade, 25. 

The separation comes five years after the couple were ensnared in the college admissions scandal, pleading guilty to wire and mail fraud related to paying hundreds of thousands in bribes to get their daughters into the University of Southern California.

Loughlin recently made light of the scandal when she played a version of herself in an episode of “Curb Your Enthusiasm.” In the episode, main character Larry David helps the actress get into a country club when she’s bogged down with her legal drama. 

Her character also has a fake handicapped license plate and cheats at golf.

The pair also put their Hidden Hills home in Los Angeles on the market for $16.5 million earlier this year after buying it for $9.5 million in 2020. 

Loughlin has continued to act on other shows since her release from prison, including reprising her role in Hallmark’s “When Hope Calls,” Great American Family holiday movies “Fall into Winter” and “A Christmas Blessing” and the TV police procedural “On Call.” 

In an interview with First for Women last year, Loughlin talked about perseverance.
