Lori Loughlin appeared to be in a very light mood when she was seen in Los Angeles on Sunday.
The Full House actress was smiling and laughing as she heading out for a day of errands while in casual workout clothes.
She had her hands full with a large green bottle of Mountain Valley water, her car keys and a cell phone as she had a black Bottega Veneta purse over her shoulder.
Noticeably absent were her wedding rings from longtime husband Mossimo Giannulli after her publicist confirmed last week that the former power couple was now on a ‘break.’
Further fueling the gossip mill are recent photos of both Lori and Mossimo with other people.
Last week the 61-year-old brunette actress was photographed hugging James Tupper, an actor who used to be wed to the late Anne Heche; they were outside a restaurant in West Hollywood.
And 62-year-old fashion designer Giannulli was spotted in the company of his attractive stylist Hannah Harrison during a shopping spree at G/Fore in Beverly Hills.

Besides their careers, Loughlin and Giannulli are best known for the 2020 college admission scandal which saw both of them land in jail.
During her most recent sighting, Loughlin looked healthy with a Malibu tan and a wrinkle-free complexion.
The star had on a white tank top over a nude bra as she added black-and-white adidas sweatpants that hugged her slender frame.
The beauty was light on makeup as she wore pink-tinted, gold framed Ray-Ban aviator sunglasses. A pink-and-black hair clip kept her locks out of her face.
Her accessories were a pair of black-and-white sneakers, which she later changed into pink ones, a black woven shoulder bag and a long beaded necklace that went well with her gold pendant.
Her spirit seemed rather light considering what she has been going through this year with her marriage on the verge of collapse.
The siren seems to be handling it well as she stays busy with exercise and hanging out with her two daughters.
On Thursday Loughlin’s publicist confirmed she had split from Giannulli after a 28-year marriage.
They wed in November 1997.
‘They are living apart and taking a break from their marriage,’ Loughlin’s representative Elizabeth Much told People. ‘There are no legal proceedings at this time.’

It was also the same day that photos of Loughlin surfaced where she was seen in a cozy embrace with Anne Heche’s former husband, James Tupper, outside the Bird Streets Club in Los Angeles on Wednesday evening.
Loughlin starred with Tupper, 60, in 2023 TV film Fall Into Winter. She subsequently appeared in the 2024 movie A Christmas Blessing with the actor.
The Queens, New York-born actress, 61, and fashion designer, 62, who memorably served sentences concurrently for their convictions in the college admission bribery case, share two daughters: Isabella ‘Bella’ Rose, 27, and Olivia Jade Giannulli, 26.
Giannulli is a successful fashion designer who founded Mossimo, a mid-range clothing company, in 1986 in Newport Beach, California.
During his first year in business he grossed $1million. The following year he made $4million. Mossimo expanded the line in 1991 to include sweatshirts, knits, and sweaters. By 1995, the collection included women’s clothing and men’s suits. After eight years in business, Mossimo, Inc. had grown into a multimillion-dollar lifestyle sportswear company and then he went public with an initial public offering in 1996.

In 2000, Mossimo, Inc. made a major, multi-product licensing agreement with Target stores, for $27.8million, which made his brand a household name. Mossimo was acquired by Iconix Brand Group in 2006.
The estranged couple had initially indicted in 2019 in connection with allegations they paid admissions fixer Rick Singer $500,000 to arrange for the University of Southern California to recruit their daughters onto the school’s rowing team, despite that they had no background in the sport.
In May 2020, Loughlin and Giannulli pleaded guilty in connection with conspiracy charges in the college admission bribery case.
Loughlin, a cast member on the hit sitcom Full House and its Netflix reboot, received a two-month jail sentence along with a fine of $150,000 and 150 hours of community service following the guilty plea.
Loughlin, who played Rebecca ‘Aunt Becky’ Katsopolis on the family comedy, began her sentence at a federal prison in Dublin, California in October of 2020 and was released that December.
Loughlin’s husband Giannulli received a five-month sentence with a fine of $250,000 and 250 hours of community service.
Giannulli began his prison sentence in November of 2020. The fashion designer was transferred to home confinement in April of 2021, about a month before his sentence ended.

The celeb couple were busted in what was called Operation Varsity Blues – a massive nationwide scandal which involved 33 parents.
Also notably involved was Emmy-winning actress Felicity Huffman, who served 11 days in custody in 2019 in connection with her plea deal in the Operation Varsity Blues case.
Professionally, Loughlin’s legal troubles kept her sidelined from Fuller House’s fifth season.
Her return to the small screen came in late 2021 appearing on a two-part Christmas special for the series When Hope Calls.
She appeared on her first red carpet in the wake of the scandal in June of 2022 when she made an appearance at RJ’s Place for the DesignCare 2022 Gala, benefitting the HollyRod Foundation.
Loughlin in 2024 spoofed the legal mishap opposite Larry David on Curb Your Enthusiasm in the sixth episode of the show’s 12th season.
Loughlin played a fictionalized version of herself, seeking David’s help in helping her rejoin an exclusive golf club after she was kicked out following the scandal.
