Tori Spelling Files for Divorce from Dean McDermott After 18 Years of Marriage

Tori Spelling, renowned for her portrayal in Beverly Hills, 90210, has officially filed for divorce from her husband, Dean McDermott, after a lengthy union spanning 18 years.

Court documents obtained by PEOPLE reveal that Spelling, 50, cited irreconcilable differences as the primary grounds for their split. The couple’s date of separation was listed as June 17, 2023, aligning with McDermott’s announcement on Instagram that they had mutually decided to part ways on that same day, a statement he later deleted.

In her filing, Spelling has requested spousal support and sole physical custody of their five minor children, namely Liam Aaron McDermott, Stella Doreen, Hattie Margaret, Finn Davey, and Beau Dean, with joint legal custody to be shared with McDermott, 57. The specifics of their property division remain pending, with no mention of a prenuptial agreement in the court documents.

The couple’s relationship has weathered significant challenges over the years, including McDermott’s public admission of infidelity in 2014, which unfolded on their reality show, True Tori. Despite their efforts to reconcile, issues of trust lingered, exacerbated by McDermott’s ongoing struggles with sobriety.

Following their separation announcement, both Spelling and McDermott have embarked on new romantic journeys. McDermott has found companionship with Lily Calo, while Spelling was photographed sharing a kiss with Ryan Cramer, CEO of Neuron Syndicate Inc., in November.

However, McDermott maintains that Spelling continues to be his staunch supporter in his quest for sobriety, describing her as caring and empathetic, prioritizing his well-being above all else.

As the divorce proceedings unfold, both parties are striving to prioritize the welfare of their children and maintain an amicable co-parenting relationship. Despite the end of their romantic partnership, Spelling and McDermott are committed to fostering a supportive environment for their family’s growth and well-being.
