Tori Spelling Reflects on a Harmonious Family Dynamic

Tori Spelling is embracing her new chapter with a refreshing perspective on co-parenting. The "Beverly Hills, 90210" star recently shared her gratitude for the amicable relationship with her ex-husband, Dean McDermott, just weeks after finalizing their divorce. Speaking with People at an L.A. event, she expressed her surprise at how smoothly everything unfolded, especially considering the usual Hollywood drama.

“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,” she remarked, highlighting their loving family dynamic.

Tori and Dean, who were married for 17 years, have managed to maintain a family presence even after their split. They share five children together: Liam, Stella, Hattie, Finn, and Beau, all of whom are adapting well to the new arrangement. "We do family dinners, we do everything together, so it’s really good for the kids," Spelling explained.

A Split Without the Glamorous Turmoil

Despite the occasional intense moment, like Tori being seen in tears during a conversation with Dean, the former couple insists their breakup was devoid of strife. Their divorce was finalized last month, revealing a substantial tax debt, yet both have moved on amicably. Dean has been romantically linked with Lily Calo, while Tori continues her ventures with the "misSPELLING" podcast.

According to Tori, the separation defied all expectations of a messy celebrity split. "I gotta say, you guys, this is something never said – this was one of the easiest divorces in Hollywood," she cheerfully declared on her podcast, breaking the stereotype of dramatic celebrity breakups.

Moving Forward with New Beginnings

As Tori navigates this new phase in her life, she admits that old habits are hard to shake, like refraining from using her pet name for Dean, "babe." Despite the formal end of their marriage, it's clear that both remain committed to co-parenting their children in a loving, supportive environment.

Fans witnessing this rare Hollywood tale can’t help but feel a sense of hope – showing that even amidst the spotlight, family bonds can remain intact and drama-free. For more celebrity scoops, make sure to stay tuned and connected with all things pop culture.
