A new month brings new emotions Tori spelling. After filing for divorce from Dean McDermott in March the Beverly Hills, 90210 The actress is adjusting to the reality that she no longer has a wedding anniversary to celebrate.
“That kind of hit me,” Tori, 50, said on the May 6 episode of her iHeartRadio podcast “misSPELLING.” “I thought, ‘Wow, yeah, wow.’ I mean, obviously I filed for divorce. We’re getting a divorce, but I hadn’t thought about it. May 7th will be a normal day from now on and that got me thinking.”
In 2006, Tori and Dean, 56, decided to elope and had a private wedding ceremony in Fiji. During their 17-year marriage, the couple had five children, including Liam (17), Stella (15), Hattie (12), Finn (11) and Beau (7). (Dean is also father to son Jack (25) with his ex-wife Mary Jo Eustace.)
While May was special for Tori because of her wedding anniversary, the month also marked Mother’s Day and her birthday. “We weren’t thinking long-term,” Tori explained. “It was just in the moment. Suddenly we became pregnant. Mother’s Day became a thing and I was always like, “Hey, buddy.” Sorry, you’re screwed. In May you essentially have three Tori days to deal with.”

“I was the girl who was very proud of anniversaries. I’m a DIYer and hobbyist through and through,” she explained. “I always made something for Dean on our wedding day because they say anyone can buy someone something. If you can, that’s very nice. But I always say homemade equals love. Whether that’s in the past, present or future, I still maintain it.”
Despite her recent breakup, Tori said she is still open to getting married again in the future. From her point of view, she doesn’t like the feeling of being alone.
“You say that all the time… ‘Be with yourself.’ Be happy with yourself.’ I don’t want to be with myself,” Tori said in a previous episode of her podcast. “I wasn’t alone…First it was Dean, then it was the kids. I don’t know. I think I’m better at dealing with people. Is this codependent? Cool. Redefine it.”
