Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott have ended their marriage. An end to a relationship of almost two decades that leaves five children together.
“With great sadness and a very heavy heart, after 18 years and five incredible children, Tori Spelling and I have decided to go our separate ways and begin a journey of our own,” McDermott communicated through his Instagram profile, in a publication. which he removed soon after.
“We will continue to work together as loving parents and guide and love our children through this most difficult time. We ask that you all respect our privacy as we take this time to surround our family with love and work our way through this. Thank you to everyone for your support and kindness,” his statement ended.
A message that, as his followers noticed shortly after, disappeared without a trace. In addition, the actor left in his biography that he is “married to the wonderful Tori Spelling.” Whether the couple has reconciled or not, only they know.
The separation of the actress and the also actor is not something unexpected. The American portal RadarOnline points to a reason for this separation to be final: Dean McDermott’s addiction to sex. A disorder that McDermott himself already spoke of in 2019, when he confessed that he had been unfaithful to his wife at Christmas 2013 with a certain Emily Goodhand.
The actor confessed this infidelity in the reality show that the family starred in, True Tori, after one of his friends sold the story to the heart press. “He thought with his penis,” McDermott even said at the time, feeling responsible for the crisis that this caused in his marriage to Aaron Spelling’s daughter.
The couple went to therapy, and apparently they were able to move on with their marriage. At least, until a few months ago, because according to RadarOnline, since last March, the actress would have found herself unable to continue with the relationship.
“Tori and Dean broke up about three months ago. They tried, they really tried,” said a source consulted by the aforementioned portal, “but Dean’s sex addiction became too much for Tori. He didn’t cheat on her. He just wanted sex all the time”.
The couple met in 2004 and got married two years later. As a result of this relationship, five children have been born: Liam (16), Stella (14), Hattie (11), Finn (10) and Bear (6). The couple has had its ups and downs over the years, with the actress admitting to having serious trouble fully trusting her husband over all of these matters. Proof of this was the crisis that the couple went through at Christmas 2021, when the couple decided to take a breather in their relationship.
However, despite the fact that he has not cheated on her again, this latest crisis has left the actress without the strength to continue. According to People, things between the two would have been bad for “almost a year”, with both evaluating their relationship and coming to the conclusion that they are much better apart; for them and for their children.
