Tori Spelling is officially a divorced woman!
In case you didn’t hear, the Beverly Hills 90210 star finalized her divorce from Dean McDermott earlier this month more than TWO years after separating! and she couldn’t be happier!
During Monday’s episode of her misSPELLING podcast, the 52-year-old exclaimed to listeners:
“I am officially divorced … Wow, there I said it out loud it must be real. When I go and fill out forms at the doctor’s office, I’m going to be circling ‘D’… No ‘S’ for single.”
She optimistically dubbed this era of her life a “new adventure” before reflecting on what a “journey” things have been with Dean.

Since they’ve been apart, Tori has been VERY transparent about the trials and tribulations they faced as a couple leading up to their split. But according to her, their divorce was actually really easy:
“This was one of the easiest divorces in Hollywood, screw it, take Hollywood out. While we had our ups and downs and problems throughout our marriage, we had no problems throughout our divorce.”
Well, that certainly makes things a lot less stressful!
Pointing to the five children they share, including Liam, 18, Stella, 16, Hattie, 13, Finn, 12, and Beau, 8, the Scary Movie 2 actress said she and her ex opted to focus on the “five humans we chose to create out of love” above everything else.
Innerestingly, Tori requested sole legal custody of the kiddos when she first filed for divorce. However, she claimed in her podcast that she and Dean never even made it to court as they settled things in mediation:
“Dean and I came out of this divorce with a clean slate. Neither of us asked each other for anything. We walked away as two complete parties that are just there to support, love, raise and set a great example of how families can divorce, uncouple and lead by example and still be there for their family.”
She added, “our kids are most important,” noting she feels “beyond blessed” to be amicable with the former Chopped Canada host — rather than engaged in a legal battle full of “revenge and resentment” like she’s recently observed in Kim Kardashian’s new legal show All’s Fair. Hey, there’s one viewer! LOLz!
Tori added:
“Dean and I will remain friends. We get along better now than we did when we were married. We get along way better now uncoupled, un-partnered, just as two humans that are friends that genuinely love and care about each other and care about their kids.”
That’s amazing!
The Family Plan actress said she and Dean are “redefining divorce” because “we have both worked so much on healing individually. She went on:
“A lot of the divorced couples look at the bad stuff. When I look back now — he and I were talking about this yesterday — when we both look back, we remembered the beautiful great times, why we were together to begin with, why we loved each other so hard and why we take the pleasure in raising these kids … Dean, in some sort will always be one of my life partners and I love him very much and he loves me very much. Happy divorce day!”
How powerful is that?!
We’re so happy for these two! You can listen to more from her podcast episode (below):
