Lori Loughlin reportedly spotted dining with actor James Tupper hours before separation from Mossimo Giannulli confirmed

A day before the news of Lori Loughlin and Mossimo Giannulli's separation was made public, Loughlin was seen dining with actor James Tupper. According to reports and photos exclusively from TMZ, the pair was seen leaving The Bird Streets Club in West Hollywood after having dinner together. TMZ also snapped pictures of the two actors hugging.

As they were exiting the club, the cameras spotted James hugging Lori as she appeared to be troubled. However, there is nothing romantic about the two, according to sources. James and Lori are longtime friends, as well as colleagues. Tupper was married to the late American actress Anne Heche.

Lori Loughlin's recent dinner with James Tupper sparked speculation, but sources confirmed the outing was purely friendly. The longtime friends and colleagues were simply catching up, with nothing romantic between them.

Lori Loughlin and Mossimo Giannulli separated after 27 years together

According to Lori Loughlin's representative, who broke the news of Lori and Mossimo's separation, she shared:

"They are living apart and taking a break from their marriage. There are no legal proceedings at this time."

Back in 2018, during an interview with Entertainment Tonight, Loughlin and Giannulli had been married for 20 years. She said:

"He's my guy, he's my person,"

She added that the secret to a happy marriage was:

"communicating, it's listening, it’s picking and choosing your battles. It's being flexible, it's all of that."

A year later, both of them were arrested for conspiracy to commit wire and mail fraud. Lori was sentenced to two months in federal prison, while Mossimo served for five months. They were also asked to pay a hefty amount of $400,000 in fines, which they completed doing so in 2020.

Years before the news of their separation was made public, their first daughter, Isabella Rose, expressed her concerns about her parents. An insider source revealed in 2019, they said:

"Their daughter Bella is extremely concerned they’re going to get divorced," which ultimately came true six years later.

The outing came right as news broke that she and Mossimo Giannulli were separating after 27 years of marriage. Their relationship, once strong, was shaken by the 2019 high-profile college admissions scandal. Now, with their split confirmed, the two are living apart but have not started any legal process yet, according to Loughlin's representative.
