Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott: The Unexpected Reunion That Has Everyone Talking
Tori Spelling and ex-husband Dean McDermott were spotted celebrating their daughter Stella’s high school graduation together on Thursday in Southern California.
The “Beverly Hills, 90210” alum was pictured at the outdoor celebration wearing a white and cream boho sundress as Stella McDermott, 18, reached the milestone achievement.
Dean was snapped taking pictures of their daughter during the commencement exercises, attending the event in a simple white t shirt and brown slacks. He was also seen cheering Stella on.
The former couple also appeared to be chatting as they took in the commencement exercises, sitting next to each other.
Their eldest daughter was also pictured receiving her diploma after completing four years of high school.
Stella beamed in a royal blue graduation cap and white flower lei. After walking, she posed alongside both her parents — seven months after they finalized their divorce — on her high school football field to mark the occasion.
In one snapshot, Spelling, 53, carried what appeared to be her daughter’s blue graduation cap while making her way out of the event.
The family appeared to have left together following the ceremony, with McDermott and Spelling walking side-by-side with their children.
The seemingly friendly reunion comes almost exactly three years after the former couple announced their split following 18 years of marriage and five children.
“It’s with great sadness and a very very heavy heart that after 18 years together and 5 amazing children, that @torispelling and I have decided to go our separate ways, and start a new journey of our own,” McDermott wrote at the time, deleting the post shortly afterwards.
In March 2024, Spelling officially filed for divorce from her “Tori & Dean: Home Sweet Hollywood” co-star, 59.
A final judgment for the former couple — who also share kids Liam, 19, Hattie, 14, Finn, 13, and Beau, 9 — revealed in November that they owe at least $1.7 million in unpaid state and federal taxes.
In December, with their divorce behind them, Spelling reflected on a more “loving” co-parenting relationship with her ex.
“I watched families go through horror stories with the parents, and at the end of the day, you created beings because you had so much love between you,” the actress told People in December, adding that she’s “so grateful” to be friendly with her ex.
While the actress confessed that “everyone predicted it to be so messy, the divorce,” she said it ultimately “was super easy and loving.”
