Lori Loughlin seen embracing James Tupper before split news

Lori Loughlin was seen grabbing dinner with Anne Heche’s ex James Tupper one day before news of her split from Mossimo Giannulli broke.

The “Full House” alum was pictured in deep conversation with Tupper after dining together at The Bird Streets Club in West Hollywood on Wednesday evening. At one point, the pair leaned in for an affectionate hug while waiting for their vehicles at the valet.

Loughlin, 61, rocked a casual-chic vibe in a pair of wide-legged jeans with a classic black blazer and pointy-toed pumps. She accessorized with a matching black handbag and wore her light brown hair straight around her shoulders.

Tupper, 60, donned a pair of dark jeans with a matching jacket and a white button down shirt, and was seen walking Loughlin to the door of a vehicle before she stepped in.

“Lori and James have worked together and are old friends,” a rep for Loughlin told Page Six of the sighting. A rep for Tupper did not immediately return Page Six’s request for comment.

Loughlin and Tupper recently co-starred in the 2023 movies “A Christmas Blessing” and “Fall Into Winter.”

Their outing came hours before it was confirmed that the sitcom actress and her husband of nearly 28 years had parted ways.

“Lori and Mossimo are living apart now,” a rep for Loughlin confirmed to Page Six Thursday. “There are no legal proceedings underway.”

The former couple shares daughters Isabella Rose, 27, and Olivia Jade, 26 — whose own high-profile romance with “Euphoria” star Jacob Elordi reportedly ended in August.

Loughlin and her estranged husband famously faced scrutiny in 2019 for their involvement in a nationwide college admissions scandal. They ultimately pleaded guilty to paying $500,000 for their daughters’ acceptance into the University of Southern California.

Loughlin famously served two months in prison before being released in December 2020. Prior to her lengthy marriage to the fashion designer, Loughlin was married to Michael Burns from 1989 to 1996.

Tupper, meanwhile, was in a long-term romance with Anne Heche from 2007 to 2018 — they shared son Atlas, 16.

The “Donnie Brasco” actress passed away in August 2022 following a fiery car crash in the Mar Vista neighborhood of Los Angeles.
