Loughlin's rep said the couple is 'taking a break' from their marriage, but the exact reasons for the split remain unclear. As the couple navigates this new chapter, fans are left wondering what's next for the 'Full House' alum and her family. 'Lori and Mossimo are living apart,' Loughlin's rep Elizabeth Much said in a statement. 'There are no legal proceedings underway.'
