Reality TV star Tori Spelling has announced on her podcast misSPELLING that she has filed for divorce from her husband of 18 years, Dean McDermott. The news came as a shock to many fans, as the couple has been a fixture in the spotlight for years.
Spelling explained on the podcast that she had to call McDermott after filing for divorce due to legal reasons. In a phone conversation heard on the podcast, she told McDermott that it was just a formality and one-sheet to check off for the divorce. McDermott apparently questioned how it would be perceived that Spelling filed first, to which she responded that after McDermott shared personal information in a previous interview, she felt justified in filing first.
Following the release of the podcast, McDermott shared that he is doing “good” amid the divorce news. Spelling, on the other hand, cited irreconcilable differences as the reason for the split in a statement to PEOPLE. She also requested spousal support, sole physical custody of their five children, and joint legal custody with visitation rights for McDermott to be determined at a later date.
McDermott had also announced the split on social media, but the post was later deleted. The couple’s decision to go their separate ways has left many fans wondering about the future of their family. Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story.
