Are Dean McDermott and Tori Spelling together?

Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott are actively striving to maintain their marriage. The seasoned couple, having always weathered the ups and downs that come their way, remains committed to fostering a healthy relationship.

Embracing marriage counseling as an integral strategy for reconciliation, the couple appears to be progressing. Parents to Liam, 16, Stella, 14, Hattie, 11, Finn, 10, and Beau, 6, the couple is focused on creating stability for their family. In addition, McDermott has a 24-year-old son, Jack, from a prior relationship.

Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott first met in July 2005 while filming the TV movie “Mind Over Murder” in Ottawa, Canada. At the time, both were married to other people: Spelling to playwright Charlie Shanian and McDermott to Mary Jo Eustace.

Spelling and McDermott immediately connected, and they began dating soon after meeting. They divorced their respective partners and got engaged in December 2005, just months after their first meeting. They were married on May 7, 2006, in a private ceremony in Fiji.

This event was a welcome respite for the Spelling family, who had been dealing with a series of health scares for months. Tori Spelling described the situation as a “continual spiral of sickness.”

In addition to Stella, 14, and Hattie, 11, Tori Spelling shares sons Liam, 15, Finn, 10, and Beau, 6, with 55-year-old husband Dean McDermott.

What happened to Tori Spelling’s daughter?

In January 2023, the 50-year-old actress and author Tori Spelling shared an Instagram story of her 14-year-old daughter, Stella, lying in a hospital bed while hooked up to several wires.

In the caption, she wrote: “The hits just keep coming” with a crying emoji. She offered no other information about the illness or treatment in the post.

Spelling shared an update on her daughter’s health the week after Stella’s first hospital visit to reveal her scary diagnosis.

“At the ER, she was diagnosed with a Hemiplegic Migraine. It’s a condition that affects one side of the body,” she wrote in the caption of an Instagram story showing Stella resting with their dog.

A hemiplegic migraine is a rare type that causes paralysis on one side of the body. Stella’s symptoms included numbness on her left side, difficulty speaking, and vision problems. She was treated with medication and released after a few days.

The month before, she posted an Instagram story of her son Beau and shared her frustration about her children’s back-to-back illnesses.

In the caption, she wrote: “Poor guy was out 3 weeks sick from school. Finally got him well and back in school all last week and boom now sick again!”

She continued, “High fevers, [vomiting], and so stuffy. Parents, are you finding this to be true as well? That our kiddos are just getting sick again as soon as they get back to school? It’s like groundhogs day…”

Tori Spelling also didn’t escape the “continual spiral of sickness” as she suffered a health scare just three weeks before Stella’s hospital visit.

She posted a selfie on her Instagram story informing her followers that she was admitted to the hospital after experiencing dizziness and difficulty breathing.

Spelling also revealed that her symptoms were “hard time breathing, high blood pressure and crazy dizziness. She said that doctors were “running a battery of tests” to find out what caused her unexpected health trouble.

The most recent health scare occurred earlier this month when Spelling shared on Instagram that her youngest children, Finn and Beau, were taken to urgent care after they unexpectedly fell ill.

As it turns out, the back-to-back illnesses were caused by a serious mold infestation in their house.

“Our family needs help,” Spelling wrote on her Instagram story, asking her followers to help her find a “major great MOLD lawyer.”

She added, “Our troubles are next-level with our MOLD problem and the house that’s been slowly killing us for three years.”

ET reported that Spelling’s family finally “moved out of the property and into another rental after the mold was confirmed to be a health hazard.”

Here’s hoping that their house issues will be dealt with immediately and that the entire family’s health gets better soon.
