Lori Loughlin's daughter Olivia Jade makes huge announcement
Lori Loughlin's lookalike daughter, Olivia Jade, has relocated to Paris — five years after her mother was sent to prison for her role in the infamous college admissions scandal. 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.

The move comes six years after her mother and father were among 33 wealthy parents who were charged with trying to rig the American college admissions system. They admitted to paying half a million dollars to guarantee their daughters – Olivia Jade and Isabella Rose Giannulli – admission to the University of Southern California (USC) under false pretenses. In October 2020, Loughlin was sentenced to two months in prison, while the designer was sentenced to five months.

Under his own plea deal, Loughlin's husband was ordered to pay a $250,000 fine and perform 250 hours of community service. Months later, Giannulli broke her silence about the college admissions scandal during an appearance on Red Table Talk. 'I think that what hasn't been super public is that there is no justifying or excusing what happened,' she said during the episode, which aired in December 2020. 'Because what happened was wrong.' Since then, Giannulli has joked about the scandal on her YouTube channel, telling her followers last year that she was looking forward to her kitchen 'not feeling like a prison.' Giannulli went on to acknowledge how viewers would mock her for the prison reference, with jokes about her parents' college admission scandal. 'Save the jokes,' she said. 'Don't want to hear it. I set you up, and I don't want you to tee off, okay?'

Whatever is best for them.'' She added: 'I think they thought it was normal.' Olivia admitted that she was initially surprised at the public's reaction to the scandal as she recalled asking herself: '"How are people mad about this?" 'I know that sounds so silly, but in the bubble that I grew up in, I didn't know so much outside of it,' she said of her privileged background. She claimed that 'a lot of kids in that bubble, their parents were donating to schools and doing stuff that advantaged. 'It's not fair and it's not right, but it was happening. And so, when this first came out, I was like, "I don't really understand what's wrong with this."' Olivia said she was completely unaware of her 'privilege' at the time as the child of wealthy parents. 'I didn't realize at the time that was privilege. I didn't put those two together. I was like, "Well, this is what everybody does, and my parents worked really hard and I don't understand,"' she explained. In a 2020 interview, Olivia admitted that she was initially surprised at the public's reaction to the scandal as she recalled asking herself: '"How are people mad about this?"; seen in 2024 'But that's not how it should be and unfortunately, that's how it was, and I'm grateful for this situation to see that big change and that big difference in my own mind.'

Olivia Jade sizzles in a bikini during trip to Italy as she 'continues to romance' Euphoria star Jacob Elordi
Olivia Jade Giannulli sizzled in a stylish white bikini while enjoying a luxurious summer vacation in Italy. The YouTube star sent temperatures soaring as she posed at her hotel while wearing a cute hat. The 25-year-old influencer, who is the daughter of Full House actress Lori Loughlin and fashion designer Mossimo Giannulli, looks to be in the best shape of her life with a flat tummy and toned legs. She made the most of the sun-drenched trip as she was also seen dining out and going on a shopping spree. Fans went wild for the look calling her 'pretty,' 'gorgeous,' and one follower even compared her to an icon: 'Your simple elegance in that first photo is reminiscent of vintage Sophia Loren.' There was no sign of her boyfriend of four years, Kissing Booth actor Jacob Elordi, who has also been linked to Joey King and Kaia Gerber in the past. Fans also wondered about this as they asked, 'Are you over>' with one troll saying he was 'never going to marry her.' The couple, who were first linked in 2021 following Jacob's split from Cindy Crawford's daughter Kaia, haven't been spotted together in public for months, though People reports they are 'still going strong.' Olivia recently dropped a hint that the romance is still alive. After Jacob's sister Isabella Elordi posted a tribute to his new project The Narrow Road to the Deep North on Instagram, Olivia showed her support by liking two of the images. They might not flaunt their relationship on social media, but that doesn't mean the couple is keeping their distance behind the scenes. In September, the pair jetted off to Sardinia for her 25th birthday — a luxe family affair that included her parents and sister Bella Rose. The group enjoyed the exotic trip, with Olivia and Jacob spotted relaxing by the water, enjoying the beautiful coastline far from the limelight. Speaking of Olivia's family, the Giannullis made headlines in 2019 when her parents were arrested in connection to the college admissions scandal. They were accused of paying $500,000 to get Olivia and her sister into USC as recruits for the crew team — despite neither having ever played the sport. Lori was sentenced to two months in prison, while Mossimo Giannulli received a five-month sentence. In addition, Olivia's mom was fined $150,000 and ordered to complete 100 hours of community service, while her father faced a $250,000 fine and a 250-hour community service requirement. Before Olivia, Jacob's love life made headlines, especially his high-profile relationship with model Kaia. The two were first linked in late 2020 and quickly became one of Hollywood's most talked-about couples, often spotted out together in Malibu and New York. Their romance, however, came to an end in late 2021, with sources claiming the split was amicable. Prior to Kaia, Jacob was also rumored to have had a brief fling with his Euphoria co-star Zendaya, although both have kept quiet about the nature of their relationship. Meanwhile, Jacob's career is heating up with a major new role — he's been cast as Heathcliff in the upcoming film adaptation of Wuthering Heights, starring alongside Margot Robbie as Catherine. However, not everyone is on board with the casting choice. Fans of the classic novel have taken to social media to voice their frustration, arguing that the two stars look more at home on Instagram than in a period drama set in the 1800s.
