Tori Spelling Reflects on Divorce from Dean McDermott: “May 7 is Just Another Day Now”
As the calendar turned to a new month, Tori Spelling found herself grappling with a mix of emotions following her divorce filing from Dean McDermott in March. The actress, best known for her role in “Beverly Hills, 90210,” opened up about the realization that she no longer has a wedding anniversary to celebrate.
In a recent episode of her iHeartRadio podcast “misSPELLING,” Tori, 50, shared, “That kind of hit me. I was like, ‘Wow, yeah, wow.’ I mean, obviously, I filed for divorce. We’re getting a divorce, but I hadn’t thought about that. May 7 is just gonna be another day from now on and that made me think about a lot of things.”
Tori and Dean, 56, eloped back in 2006 and shared a private wedding ceremony in Fiji. Over their 17-year marriage, the couple welcomed five children together, including Liam, Stella, Hattie, Finn, and Beau. Tori also mentioned Dean’s son Jack from his previous marriage.
Reflecting on the significance of May, which also includes Mother’s Day and her birthday, Tori admitted, “We didn’t think long-term. It was just in the moment. All of a sudden, we got pregnant. Mother’s Day became a thing and I would always be like, ‘Hey, buddy. Sorry, you’re screwed. You got three Tori days to deal with, essentially, in May.”
Despite the changes in her life, Tori expressed that she is open to the idea of getting married again in the future. She acknowledged her discomfort with being alone, saying, “I think I function better with people. Is that codependent? Cool. Redefine it.”
As Tori navigates this new chapter post-divorce, she continues to share her thoughts and experiences with her listeners, offering a candid look at her journey of self-discovery and growth.
