Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott Divorce Finalized

After months of legal proceedings, the divorce of actress Tori Spelling and actor Dean McDermott has been finalized. The couple, who separated in June 2023, officially ended their marriage in court on Thursday.

According to legal documents, Spelling will retain full interest in several of her television and non-scripted projects. These include the reboot of the iconic teen drama "BH90210" and her podcast, "MisSPELLING." The couple also shared interest in their joint projects, such as "Tori & Dean in Love," "sTORIbook Weddings," and their Cooking Channel specials.

A unique arrangement has been established for the couple's five children. Neither party will pay child support. Instead, each parent will be responsible for covering the children's needs while they have custody. Spelling will also cover the lease payments for their daughter Stella's 2021 Bronco. The former couple agreed to joint legal custody.

Both Spelling and McDermott have waived their right to spousal support. They have also agreed to split their shared debts, with each owing approximately $1 million in taxes and credit card debt.

The divorce settlement was reportedly amicable, with sources indicating the pair are on friendly terms. Spelling filed for divorce in March 2024, citing "irreconcilable differences" as the reason for the split. She had initially sought spousal support but later requested the court block McDermott's access to any.

Both Spelling and McDermott have moved on with new relationships. McDermott went public with his girlfriend, Lily Calo, in May 2024, while Spelling made her red carpet debut with Ryan Cramer in April.

BNN's Perspective:

The amicable nature of this divorce, particularly the agreement on child care and the waiver of spousal support, suggests a mature approach to co-parenting. While the financial implications of shared debts are significant, the focus on moving forward and supporting their children is commendable. This case highlights the complexities of divorce, even within the entertainment industry, and the importance of prioritizing the well-being of all parties involved.
