Tori Spelling Reveals Daughter Urged Divorce From Dean McDermott

Tori Spelling revealed on her podcast that her decision to divorce Dean McDermott was influenced by a conversation with their 13-year-old daughter, Hattie. Hattie asked Tori if she had considered being with someone else who would treat her better, prompting Tori to reflect on the unhealthy dynamics in their marriage. Spelling acknowledged that their ongoing fights were negatively impacting their children and expressed her discomfort with the person she had become during their troubled relationship. She described McDermott as struggling with addiction, which affected their family life. Ultimately, Tori filed for divorce in March 2024 after nearly 18 years of marriage, stating that staying together for the sake of the children was a disservice to them. The couple shares five children in total, and Spelling has since requested sole physical custody as part of the divorce proceedings.
