Lori Loughlin is nearly three weeks into a two-month prison sentence for her role in a college admissions scandal and her husband Mossimo Giannulli is prepping to start his own time behind bars later this week — but a quick look at their daughter Olivia Jade's Instagram suggests her life has remained largely unchanged.

Reports from PEOPLE and Us Weekly say that Loughlin was "weepy" and a "wreck" in her first couple days in prison at California's Federal Correctional Institution at Dublin, where she started her sentence on October 30.

In the days since, Olivia Jade has posted two selfies on Instagram. One is a video in which she's dancing in front of a mirror while someone plays piano in the background, and in the other, she is seen masked inside a clothing store.

The 21-year-old beauty influencer and blogger was largely quiet in the months after her mother and father were charged in connection to a scheme that involved them paying $500,000 to guarantee Olivia Jade and her sister Isabella's admissions to the University of Southern California as purported row recruits.

After news of the college admissions scandal broke in March 2019, Olivia Jade was criticized when videos of her saying she hated school resurfaced, and several companies, including Sephora and Amazon, dropped their partnerships with her. She and her sister took a hiatus from USC, though they never re-enrolled for future semesters.

But in the months after Loughlin and Giannulli pleaded guilty in the scheme in May 2020, Olivia Jade slowly came back to YouTube, Instagram, and even TikTok, showing her day-to-day life, largely through selfies and photos and videos of her dog, Milo.

In recent months, Olivia Jade has also seemingly relaunched her influencer brand. She's again started sharing affiliate-marketing links on Instagram — directing fans to Amazon and Kim Kardashian West's shapewear brand, Skims — though the extent of the partnerships is unknown.

Loughlin, meanwhile, is nearly halfway done with her prison sentence.

PEOPLE reported earlier this week that a source close to Loughlin said the actor has had no "specific problems" behind bars.

"No one has tried any s--- with her. No one is bullying her. The guards aren't treating her any differently than other inmates," the source told PEOPLE. "She was a little weepy on her first night there. But she pulled herself together quickly. Now she's resolved to finish her sentence with her head held high."

Mossimo Giannulli is scheduled to start his four-month prison sentence in the college admissions scandal on Thursday.

According to pictures obtained by TMZ, he recently shaved his head. It's unclear if the haircut was in preparation for prison.
