Tori Spelling recently filed for divorce from her husband, Dean McDermott, after 18 years of marriage, following a 10-month separation. Her 90210 co-star, Ian Ziering, expressed his support for her during this difficult time. Ziering mentioned that the cast of the show is still like a family and remains tight-knit. They provide support for each other in both good times and challenging times, showing their care and concern for one another.
Spelling and McDermott separated in June 2023, with Spelling filing for divorce shortly after an emotional reunion with her estranged husband. The couple was seen sorting through personal belongings at a Public Storage facility, displaying a range of emotions during the meeting. Spelling asked for sole physical custody of their five children, with shared legal custody, and also requested spousal support. The legal documents indicate that they need to determine shared assets and property during the divorce proceedings.
Despite the challenges in their marriage, Spelling and McDermott had reached a better place after a crisis point, according to a source. Spelling had been protective of their children amidst their marriage issues and McDermott’s struggles with sobriety. She had given him an ultimatum to seek help in order to spend time with the kids, which he did. The couple is now focused on moving forward with their lives and ensuring a healthy environment for their children.
McDermott revealed in an exclusive interview that he had not shared a bedroom regularly with Spelling since 2017. This was due to Spelling’s insistence on allowing animals in the room. McDermott has moved on and is now dating Lily Calo, who works as a senior account executive in Los Angeles. The news of their relationship was first reported in October when they were seen holding hands in public. Calo hails from the East Coast and seems to be a new chapter in McDermott’s life post his separation from Spelling.
The cast of 90210, including Ziering, continues to show support for Spelling during this challenging time. They have maintained their bond as a close-knit group, even after the show ended. Ziering emphasized that they care for each other through life’s ups and downs, offering pride and support during victories and coming together during tough times. The show’s legacy and the relationships formed during its run continue to provide a sense of support and unity for the cast members.
As Spelling and McDermott navigate the divorce process, the focus remains on their children and ensuring their well-being. Spelling’s request for sole physical custody and spousal support indicates the desire to provide stability for her kids. Although the separation and divorce have been emotionally challenging, both parties are ready to move forward with their lives. The support from friends, family, and colleagues, such as Ziering, offers a sense of comfort and assurance during this transition period.
