Tori Spelling's married life with Dean McDermott
Tori Spelling met Dean in 2005 while filming for Mind Over Murder when she was married to Charlie Shanian. Dean was married to Mary Jo Eustace at the time but soon divorced her. They married each other on May 27, 2006.
Spelling told US Weekly in 2013 that her husband McDermott had cheated on her. The news broke just months after she had given birth to her second son with Dean. She had written in her book Spelling It Like It Is:
"Our family is complete now: me; Dean; our four beloved children; my stepson, Jack; and a somewhat changing menageries of pets and farm animals."
But news of his infidelity caused her to not even give out holiday cards that year. The couple did eventually make it through the event after filming a Lifetime Series True Tori, showcasing the aftermath of their infidelity.
In March 2018, the couple called the police three times within the first week, the first two times to complain about each other and the third time to ask for police security. She was then seen on March 21 without her wedding band.
In 2019, they said that everything was well but stopped sharing each other’s pictures on social media. Spelling told listeners on Jeff Lewis' live radio show in 2021 that she did not sleep in the same bed as her husband.
She was seen shouting outside a lawyer’s office the same year with a notepad that had the words support, assets and custody written on it. As per September 2022 reports, Tori is happily married to Dean as they were seen having a pizza together wearing their wedding bands.
Her friend Nicole Polizzi also told Page Six that Tori is in a good place.
