Tori Spelling took to Instagram to share a heartfelt Mother’s Day tribute to her mother, Candy Spelling. In a series of photos, Tori expressed her gratitude for the lessons her mom has taught her over the years. The photos included throwback images of Candy holding Tori as a baby and the two of them standing together in coordinating outfits. Tori joked about their similar style and shared a sweet message thanking her mom for teaching her strength and resilience, as well as some practical skills like setting a proper dinner party table and identifying fake designer purses.
Candy Spelling, who shares Tori and son Randy with her late husband Aaron Spelling, has been a pillar of support for Tori during difficult times, such as her recent divorce from Dean McDermott. Candy spoke about the importance of being there for her daughter and revealed that their relationship is in a good place. Tori and McDermott, who share five children together, filed for divorce earlier this year after facing challenges in their marriage. McDermott had previously acknowledged causing pain in their relationship and shared details in a now-deleted social media post.
On her podcast, Tori discussed the reasons why she stayed in her marriage with McDermott despite their struggles. She expressed fears of emasculating a man in their world where successful women are often judged unfairly. Tori admitted feeling guilty about her success and fame affecting her relationships, and she described the breakup as a fresh wound. She spoke with honesty about her concerns about finding a new partner who wouldn’t feel inferior due to her status and power.
Tori’s emotional journey was further explored in a conversation with Shannen Doherty, who joined her on the podcast. The two women reflected on the challenges faced by successful women in relationships and how societal norms can impact their dynamics. Tori shared her vulnerability and inner conflicts about her identity as a powerful woman and the impact it has on her personal life. Despite the challenges, Tori remains hopeful about finding happiness and balance in future relationships, navigating the complexities of love and power in her unique position in society. Through her candid discussions and tributes to her mother, Tori continues to navigate her personal struggles with grace and resilience.
