Tori Spelling recently opened up about her amicable co-parenting arrangement with her former husband, Dean McDermott, following their recent divorce settlement.

Speaking to People at an event on Friday, the “Beverly Hills, 90210” star reflected on how thankful she is for their cooperative relationship. “I’ve witnessed families endure horror stories with parental conflicts, but ultimately, you brought these wonderful beings into the world out of love,” Spelling remarked, expressing her appreciation for their ability to maintain a positive dynamic.

She continued, “We care deeply for each other, and I was genuinely surprised because, given all the horror stories I’ve read, everyone anticipated a messy divorce. Yet, it turned out to be incredibly straightforward and filled with affection.”

Spelling, 52, and McDermott, 59, share five children: Liam, 18, Stella, 17, Hattie, 14, Finn, 13, and Beau, 8. While attending the iHeartRadio Jingle Ball in Los Angeles, Spelling explained that despite their separation, they continue to uphold a family presence for the sake of their children.

The actress explained while attending the iHeartRadio Jingle Ball in Los Angeles that the former couple maintains a family presence, post-split.

“We do family dinners, we do everything together, so it’s really good for the kids,” she told the outlet.

The “Tori & Dean: Home Sweet Hollywood” alums announced their separation in June 2023 after 17 years of marriage, with the actress filing for divorce nine months later.

The former couple finalized their divorce last month, with documents revealing a staggering 7-figure remaining tax debt.

McDermott was last romantically linked with Lily Calo following his split from Spelling, while the “misSPELLING” podcast host was still linked to Ryan Cramer as recently as April.

And though the breakup at times appeared intense — with Spelling being spotted crying during a conversation with McDermott in 2024, and bouncing from a motel to an RV with her children for temporary stays in 2023 — she’s insisted their split was without strife.

“I gotta say, you guys, this is something never said — this was one of the easiest divorces in Hollywood,” she declared during an episode of her podcast last month.

“You can quote me there,” she continued. “Screw it. Take Hollywood out. This is one of the easiest divorces.”

They’ve gotten along so well, in fact, that Spelling once admitted her old habits are dying hard, when it comes to her former pet name for McDermott.

“I don’t know if anyone has gone through this, but I’ve never called him ‘Dean,’” she shared during her podcast in March.

“I’ve called him ‘babe’ for 20 years, so it is super hard to remind myself that like, ‘Oh, OK, you guys aren’t together anymore.’”
