«90210» actress Tori Spelling has made the move to officially end her marriage to actor-producer Dean McDermott.
On Friday, Fox News Digital confirmed that Spelling had filed for divorce, citing irreconcilable differences as the grounds to dissolve her union with McDermott. Per the documents, Spelling — who is the petitioner in the case — shared their separation date as June 17, 2023.
According to the documents, Spelling is requesting spousal support, while denying offering spousal support to McDermott.

There is no mention of a prenuptial agreement in Spelling’s divorce filing, but the filing noted that the extent of the couple’s assets and property will need to be determined throughout the course of the case.
Spelling and McDermott’s representatives did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.

Spelling and McDermott’s marital woes have been publicly documented. Last June, McDermott announced the couple’s split in a since-deleted Instagram post.
«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,» he wrote at the time.
The couple married in 2006 and have five children together: Liam, Finn, Beau, Stella and Hattie. Spelling has not publicly commented about the separation.
Their relationship began with a scandalous start. Spelling and McDermott were married to other people when they met on the set of the Lifetime movie «Mind Over Matter» in July 2005.

Spelling and actor Charlie Shanian had tied the knot a year earlier, while McDermott had been married for 12 years to actress Mary Jo Eustace.
Spelling revealed in her 2009 memoir «sTORI Telling» that she and McDermott felt an instant connection and spent the night together at a hotel after they first met.
«It was love at first sight. I fell so hard … Then I noticed he had a wedding ring,» Spelling wrote. «And — oh, yeah — I had a husband too,» Spelling wrote.
«It was fun to flirt, but I knew nothing would happen … But: Dean and I went to a bar after dinner. And we spent the night at the Cartier Place.»

«The following day when I woke up next to Dean, I had no regrets. Something was really wrong with my marriage. Not only because I slept with this guy — though that certainly wasn’t a positive sign — but because I didn’t regret it.»
In «sTORI Telling,» Spelling recalled admitting to the affair during a therapy session with Shanian before they separated in October 2005. In September of that year, McDermott filed for divorce from Eustace, who told People magazine their split was «humiliating beyond anything I’ve ever known.»
