Lori Loughlin and her husband Mossimo Giannulli have reportedly put their Los Angeles mansion up for sale.
According to Entertainment Tonight, the couple’s Bel-Air home is not on the public market, but is currently being “quietly listed for the right buyers” at $28,650,000.
The move, first reported by TMZ, comes as Loughlin and her husband face charges related to the ongoing college admissions scandal. The pair are accused of paying $500,000 in bribes to pose their two daughters, Olivia Jade and Isabella Rose, as crew recruits at the University of Southern California. Unlike Felicity Huffman, another high-profile parent involved in the scandal who served 11 days of a 14-day prison sentence back in October, Loughlin and Giannulli have pleaded not guilty to all charges. Neither daughter is currently enrolled at USC.
News of the impending sale comes two weeks after the release of hundreds of new documents related to the case by the U.S. Attorney’s Office. The documents — including emails, interview transcripts and legal papers — have shed new light on the case and Loughlin and Giannulli’s involvement, including an email conversation in which Giannulli appears to reject a legitimate offer from a USC official to have his daughter’s application “flagged.”
Earlier this year, reports surfaced alleging that Loughlin had hired a “prison expert” to prepare for possible jail time ahead of sentencing. A source reportedly told Radar Online that the actress was “knuckling down, learning the lingo and practicing martial arts to give off the impression she’s tough and to ward off potential bullies.”
However, according to ET, the sale of couple’s mansion has nothing to do with their ongoing legal drama. Rather, the outlet reports that “real estate is Giannulli’s passion” and the couple typically sells their home “every three-to-five years.”
The couple’s Spanish-style mansion had previously been listed for $35 million, but was later taken off the market.
