Weathering the storm? Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott are “not in a healthy place” amid divorce rumors, a source exclusively tells Us Weekly.
“It’s gotten really bad and those close to them feel it won’t last much longer,” the insider says, noting the duo “can’t stand to be around each other” at this point. “There’s a lot of tension built up.”
While the marriage appears to be on the rocks, the source explains that both stars are “still in it for the kids.” The insider notes that the Beverly Hills, 90210 alum doesn’t plan to divorce McDermott “right now because of the kids.”
The Troop Beverly Hills actress and the Pretty Hard Cases star wed in May 2006. They have since welcomed five children: Liam, Stella, Hattie, Finn and Beau.
“No matter what [happens], their kids will come first and always be their number one priority,” the source adds.
Over the years, the spouses have had many ups and downs, including infidelity on McDermott’s part and financial woes.
In February 2019, the actress exclusively told Us that they “don’t have relationship problems” after overcoming McDermott’s cheating scandal five years prior.
“We communicate now, I have a voice,” Spelling explained at the time. “He probably hears too much of it but he [is so] good at listening. Women like to talk and over-explain.”
However, during the summer of 2021, the twosome sparked split speculation after Spelling was spotted without her wedding ring. McDermott, for his part, was also seen without his wedding band around the same time.
While the couple denied they are breaking up, fans have noticed a few red flags that make it seem as though their marriage isn’t in a good place. For starters, Spelling revealed in June that she and McDermott were sleeping in separate beds.
Four months later, the actress was spotted at an attorney’s office holding documents that appeared to be about child support and custody of their five kids.
The pair have since managed to dodge questions about their relationship status, but a source exclusively told Us earlier this month that the BH90210 actress and the Slasher star “have fought a lot” over the years, but recently had a “really serious” argument.
“She’s tried counseling with him,” the insider said in October, noting that Spelling “feels trapped” in the marriage partly because of their money trouble. “It’s always been an issue,” the source added.
Scroll down to see where Spelling and McDermott stand in their marriage amid all their recent ups and downs:
“Right now, my kids and dogs sleep in my bed,” Spelling told Jeff Lewis in June, adding that McDermott was sleeping in a separate area at their house after returning home from filming a project overseas. “Since he left — this is not good, you guys — but since he left [and] he was gone for six months filming in another country, they all stayed with me,” she continued. “So I currently still have four in the bedroom with me who have yet to go back to their rooms, yes.” Chelsea Lauren/Shutterstock
“Tori and Dean have been having major issues for over a year now,” a source exclusively told Us in June. “The fact that she’s talking about sleeping in separate beds is very telling, she wouldn’t do that unless things were really not great between them. Tori knows her kids see what she says online, so for her to say something publicly means the end could be very near.” Shutterstock (2)
After Spelling announced in August that she was cohosting E! News’ Daily Pop for two shows, McDermott sang his wife’s praises. “You look amazing!!! So proud of you!!” he commented on her Instagram post. Stewart Cook/Fox/Picturegroup/Shutterstock
The “90210MG” podcast cohost sidestepped questions about her marriage status in September after being spotted with McDermott over Labor Day for the first time in months. “We’ve been going to the Malibu Chill Cookoff since Liam was 1 year old. He’s 14. So it’s a tradition,” Spelling told Lewis at the time, choosing not to answer his question about divorce rumors. “The family does it together every year.” London Entertainment/Shutterstock; twoeyephotos/MEGA
McDermott explained in September why both he and Spelling were seen without their wedding rings earlier in the year, saying his wife simply forgot to put hers back on after washing her hands. He revealed during an appearance on the “Feminine Warrior” podcast that he was recently spotted with no ring on his left hand after losing the band during a game of golf. “I lost my utility ring and then somebody saw that [and said], ‘He doesn’t have his ring,’” the Open Range actor recalled. “So, now, everybody’s in a titter, so I’m like, ‘Forget it, I’m not going to replace it. Just let them think it.'” McDermott further commented on rumors that the twosome had separated saying, “It’s just weird that people need to know. ‘What’s going on with Tori and Dean? She’s not wearing her ring.’ Why do you need to know that? How is that going to affect your day?” Broadimage/Shutterstock
Spelling was spotted outside an attorney’s office in October holding documents that read “assets,” “support” and “custody,” fueling divorce rumors once again. A source told Us at the time that the actress and her husband are “always on the verge of divorce.” The California native “has been close to leaving many times, but she ends up staying for the kids’ sake,” according to the insider.

The pair celebrated the November 2021 holiday “as a family,” a source exclusively told Us at the time. “They really are trying to celebrate the holidays as a family and put aside their differences,” the insider said, noting that the duo have “good and bad days,” but are “still there for their children” amid the drama. “They're trying to just get through the rest of the year as one unit,” the source added.
