Lori Loughlin's daughter Olivia Jade makes huge announcement
The 25-year-old influencer announced the surprise move on her YouTube channel, telling fans she will be living in the French capital 'for a little while', Realtor reports.
'Good morning from Paris,' the social media star began her video, which featured several clips of her trip from Italy to France, where she is residing in an apartment.
'This is going to be such a fun adventure to film. I'm here for a little while living … and it's just going to be such an exciting, formative time,' she went on, while sitting in her new bedroom.
However, Olivia admitted she's already missing some of her favourite home comforts, particularly her airconditioning, which she noted her Paris apartment is not equipped with.
'It's so hot and we don't have airconditioning, we just have fans in our apartment because that's just how most French apartments are,' she explained. 'I was just uncomfortable sleeping.'
For her first day in Paris, Olivia spent the morning at a cafe for a coffee and a croissant, before heading out to do some shopping at the Bon Marché, where she picked up new sheets for her bed.
She then took on a much more glamorous task: trying on her 'look for the Chanel Couture Show,' which the brand sent to her ahead of the prestigious event in the French city.
After that stylish interlude back at home, Olivia set about performing some more chores, including picking up groceries, before heading to another fashion fitting, this time for the brand Patou.
In the end, the influencer's first week in Paris proved to be full of intriguing activities, including outings at multiple fashion shows, before she made a quick trip to London on the Eurostar for a few shopping excursions.
Though she managed to capture some clips of her trip to the British city, she acknowledged after returning to Paris that she hasn't fallen into a routine with filming since relocating to Europe.
'I am a little all over the place in terms of filming and my living situation in general,' she confessed.
'And I've just had a really crazy week since living in Paris. I did the Patou show, the Chanel show, which was amazing, and then we took the train to London … I think I filmed the train, maybe some iPhone clips and then nothing else.
'Now I'm back home in Paris. I'm living in Paris for a little while, that's the update.'
As if a transatlantic move wasn't enough upheaval for the fashion influencer, she hinted there is plenty more 'change' to come in her life in the near future, adding: 'A lot more fun, exciting change is also coming in the future, which I'm so excited to share.
'I'm hopefully launching my business at the end of this year. There's just a lot going on, and it's all really good and really exciting.'
Before moving to Paris, Olivia had been residing in Los Angeles in her own apartment — having moved out of her parents' abode in 2021, not long after mum Lori and dad, designer Mossimo Giannulli, were released from prison.
Both Lori and Mossimo were sentenced to time behind bars after they were found guilty of paying $US500,000 ($A769,000) to secure places for their daughters, Olivia and Isabella, at the University of Southern California.
It was revealed during their trial the couple had fraudulently positioned their daughters as rowing recruits to snag them spots at the prestigious university.
After being found guilty of conspiracy to commit wire and mail fraud, Full House star Lori was sentenced to two months in prison, while Mossimo was handed a five-month sentence.
Before that scandal, Olivia had already launched a successful career as a YouTube influencer, regularly sharing videos documenting the most glamorous parts of her lifestyle as a 'nepo baby,' including hauls of her designer Christmas gifts, beauty and makeup tips, and her day-to-day routine inside her parents' palatial Bel-Air estate.
Amid the intense fallout from the controversy, she took a year-long hiatus from social media, eventually returning to YouTube in 2021, saying at the time she had moved into her new place — a decision that may have been prompted by her parents choosing to offload the family's home.
Not long after Lori and Mossimo were named as being among the accused participants in the college admissions scandal, they made the decision to list their Bel-Air property, initially putting it on the market for $US26.9 million ($A41.3 million) in January 2020.
They ultimately accepted a much lower offer of $18.75 million ($A28.8 million), according to records, which show the home officially sold in July of that same year.
Soon after, the couple purchased an enormous mansion in Hidden Hills, where they are understood to have moved following their release from prison — having snapped up the dwelling for $US9.5 million ($A14.6 million).
But in 2024, they were ready to move on to new real estate adventures and put the home on the market for the much higher price of $US17.5 million ($A26.9 million).
However, the home struggled to secure interest from a buyer and was taken off the market — before being relisted in February of this year with a $US1 million ($A1.5 million) price cut.
Records show the ask was slashed yet again earlier this month, with the price now sitting at $14.95 million ($A22.9 million).
As for Olivia, it's unclear whether she has decided to let go of her own Los Angeles abode or plans to return to California after her 'adventure' in Europe is over.

‘Like tracksuit pants': The jeans Bella Heathcote can't live without
What are the three essential items in your wardrobe? Levi's jeans, a white Bonds tee and a big cotton or linen men's shirt. I also like a Hawaiian shirt for summer. Any go-to jewellery? I wear my mum's jewellery: an emerald ring that my father gave her when I was born, some chunky gold hoops and a bangle with a triangle ruby inlay. Can you remember a favourite outfit you wore as a child? A fluoro pink-and-green striped top and skirt set that I would still wear now if it fit me. What was your first fashion moment? The Dark Shadows premiere in 2012 was pretty huge. I went from having my friend dress me and looking a bit of a mess on the red carpet to wearing Chanel. And your worst fashion mistake? About 10 years ago, I went to an event in LA wearing very heavy make-up, like I was in drag. And I paid someone to do it. As I was walking out the door, my partner said, 'You know you could wipe it off.' Not helpful. What's on your wish list? I'm looking for the perfect metallic bumbag. I've also got my eye on a Gucci backpack with a snake on it. Is there something you'd never wear? Really high heels. What shoes do you wear most often? I wear my Birkenstock 'Arizona' slides so much I've worn out the tread. Is there a current trend you like? I'm loving the '90s-style suits and blazers. What do you sleep in? Pyjamas from Suku or Deiji Studios. Loading Who's your favourite fashion icon? A friend told me I dress like [actor] Walton Goggins. I'll happily have him as my style icon. What do you wear on a typical working day? To the set, I'll wear men's Levi's – as they're basically tracksuit pants that I can easily rip off – with a button-down shirt – as you can get your make-up done without having to then pull it over your head – and my Dr Martens loafers. What's your favourite off-duty, casual Sunday look? A Hawaiian shirt and a pair of old jeans that I cut off at the knee – I'm appreciating the long denim short.

OnlyFans stars Bonnie Blue Annie Knight Lily Phillips are X-rated labubus
'You might not know me, but your husband will,' is how Bonnie Blue introduces herself online to her 800,000 X followers. So too will your teenage sons, daughters and grandchildren. Blue by name, and nature. 'Bonnie Blue' is the nom de guerre of 26-year-old Tia Billinger, a young English woman from a 'good home' who gave up a successful career working in finance recruitment to become a garish sex worker. The difference in her trajectory is that she isn't just a 'worker', she is a woman using her naked body to build an X-rated media empire earning her – allegedly – $3m a month via OnlyFans. She started out filming her liaisons with groups of men, young men and many masked men by posting the finished pornographic products online for paid subscribers. Racy previews and her casting calls are available free of charge to everyone who scrolls the internet. It's there she posts her address and we learn that participants who attend must bring along photo ID, evidence of ejaculate and men aged 18 and older are required to make 'donations'. That was all before she was kicked off the video subscription platform for extreme activities like reportedly sleeping with more than 1000 men in one day and then attempting to place herself, bound and blindfolded, in a glass box 'petting zoo', and encouraging people to do what they liked to her. The idea for a sexualised stunt was reminiscent of Marina Abramovic's performance in the 1970s where the artist sat in front of objects ranging from honey to scalpels and encouraged her audience to use them on her. Blue hasn't heard of this seminal, boundary-pushing work. 'She gave them all these horrible sharp things – I was just going to have dildos and lube,' she told The Times. These two events she claims to have participated in have never been seen. OnlyFans refused to allow her to upload her 'world record' with 1000 men due to consent issues; she has since moved to another platform, which she is busy growing. Elon Musk's X is the only social media site that allows her to publish unencumbered. She may cop criticism for 'preying' on young, 'barely legal' men to film their escapades which she then monetises, but the artist known as Bonnie Blue has snookered broader society. She's now mainstream. Since being legitimately cancelled online, she's had to pivot. Blue is desperate for publicity. She must be thrilled to be the subject of a new documentary which has just aired in the UK on Channel 4 (a publicly established network that raises its own revenue). Her father, who worked as a railway technician, watched it without flinching and her mother is proud of her endeavours. 'If you could earn £1m a month, you'd change your morals and get your bits out,' Mrs Billinger said. The documentary came about when the filmmaker became aware of the existence of Bonnie Blue as her content was being served up to her 15-year-old daughter via her social media algorithm. A fact that Australians processing this week's expansion of the government's world-first social media ban for those under-16 should take on board. 'There is a place for social media. There is no place for predatory algorithms,' Communications Minister Anika Wells said. Gawking online – either in disbelief, disapproval or delight – at Bonnie Blue boosted her notoriety, fame and infamy. All of this she has parlayed into numerous legitimate media appearances, including a coveted cover story in the esteemed The Times Magazine. She is not your average porn star or sex worker. She's the Wall Street banker of the pleasure industry. She's Gordon Gekko in lingerie. She's a ruthless morality raider. 'I'm just a clever slut,' is how she described herself in a recent conversation with the equally controversial Andrew Tate, with empty eyes and a straight face. Tate is the loquacious lad who rose to fame on Big Brother who now wears sunglasses indoors and espouses misogyny online. He is also facing numerous rape, human trafficking, organised crime, and tax evasion charges. Like Tate, Blue also thinks women who are infrequently intimate with their partners or husbands are 'lazy and uneducated'. She said she is the product of 'what women have been fighting for the past 100 years'. She also got her start in Australia. Blue and her now ex-husband moved to the Gold Coast after Covid in 2022 after failed attempts to conceive. It was here in the shadows of the Glitter Strip where her self-esteem crashed. 'I became really insecure. I'd cover up my body, cancel trips,' she told The Times. She claimed living among the gaggle of 'glamorous influencers' who call the Gold Coast home caused her to put on weight and lose her self-confidence. It was here she started experimenting with 'camming' – where women talk and perform lewd acts online for money. After her marriage broke down, due to the pair 'growing apart', she became an escort. She also joined OnlyFans and set about climbing its ranks as a high-earner. One stunt included her attending Schoolies, distributing business cards with a QR code to her page, offering herself 'for free' to consenting 18-year-old men. She published their encounters amid a flurry of publicity, where she was labelled a 'sexual predator'. The only label she cares about is the one her mother made her. She carried the homemade sign for her next feat that read: 'Bonk me and let me film it.' She then went on to sleep with hundreds of university students in the UK and Mexico. Before being de-platformed by OnlyFans, she was blacklisted by Airbnb, dating apps Tinder and Hinge and Australia for breaching a tourist visa for publicising a return to Schoolies for a sequel. More than 20,000 people signed a petition to have her banned. 'Now my nephew is crying and saying he can't get his booking deposit back,' one Reddit thread said of the news. 'There's no doubt if this was a male he would be labelled a predator,' another said. There's the rub. She embraces the outrage and courts the controversy. She doesn't appear to care for anything other than her bikini line, and bottom line. She recruits other young women – of which there are now many 'copy cat' versions embarking on similar 'careers', including Australian Annie Knight – to participate in obscene stunts with young men to produce warped 'sex education' videos. She does not pay any participant and shuns any responsibility. 'I'm not their mum. I'm not there to guide them. I'm here to say 'Hey, this is a business opportunity',' she said. Her next professional accomplishment appears to be tier-marketing these 'business opportunities' for those barely out of high school. She may not blink about exploiting virgins, but she should blanch at taking advantage of people whose only corporate experience at that age is a part-time gig at McDonald's. She's the personification, not of porn culture, but of the influencer economy. She's a sociopath in the sense that statistics show a high proportion of the most successful chief executives are. Bonnie Blue Inc may be a success story but the inception of Bonnie Blue highlights the importance of legitimate sex education and counselling services in schools and beyond to counteract how social media is frying the fragile synapses of young people. She's terminally bored – as the documentary, and corresponding media, shows. She was bored working a 9 to 5 job; bored driving a Mercedes by the time she was 19; and she's bored (and worried about being broke) now she's being repeatedly blocked online. She's boring, too. You just have to take a look at her provocative Instagram captions to realise that for someone who markets herself as a provocateur and has a perverted preoccupation with fluids, Bonnie Blue is about as deep as a puddle.
