According to Tori Spelling’s Instagram, she and husband of 10 years Dean McDermott are ridiculously happy. The two, like almost all Hollywood couples, have been through the rumor mill about a thousand times, and it turns out that at least some of the gossip was true.
They’re broke
Rumors about Spelling and McDermott’s financial situation started in January 2016, after American Express sued Spelling for failing to pay her $37,981.97 credit card balance. Spelling told People: “I’m really happy, we’re doing a new show on Cooking Channel — we’re not bankrupt, we’re not struggling, we’re fine!”
Dean cheated
Sometimes, even in Hollywood, rumors are true. US Weekly reported in December 2013 that McDermott cheating on Spelling while in Toronto. A Lifetime documentary, True Tori, followed Spelling in the aftermath of the affair. In 2015, Spelling directly addressed the rumor on Kocktails with Khloe. Spelling told host Khloe Kardashian, “We have now more of an open communication and relationship than we’ve ever had before.”
They’re getting divorced
Although the rumors of McDermott cheating proved to be true, the couple didn’t get divorced, although Spelling was reportedly seen without her wedding ring numerous times, and magazines reported that what seemed like a happy family life was actually all a façade.
Tori’s pregnant
In 2015, rumors were flying that Spelling and McDermott were expecting their fifth child together (they are already the parents of Hattie, Stella, Liam and Finn, and McDermott has a son from a previous marriage). There was much speculation that this alleged child wasn’t planned, but that the couple hoped it would save their crumbling marriage. It turns out that Spelling wasn’t pregnant.
Dean cheated… again
After the cheating scandal of 2013, reports once again surfaced in 2015 that McDermott was cheating on Spelling with his ex-wife, Mary Jo Eustace. Apparently, Eustace and McDermott had been meeting up at her house, and Spelling learned about it when she listened to Eustace on former RHOBH star Brandi Glanville’s podcast. The exes were also spotted having lunch together in Studio City in 2015.
They’re swingers
According to an “inside source,” Spelling and McDermott were/are into swapping sexual partners. At a pool party at the McDermott-Spellings in 2014, McDermott allegedly pushed Spelling into a friend’s lap and urged him to “try her!” (Ew.) Although Spelling was apparently into it, the friend in question left the party.
Dean impregnated another woman
Amid the reports of McDermott’s Canadian infidelity, there was also a rumor that the woman in question, Emily Goodhand, was pregnant with McDermott’s child. If she was, though, everyone involved seemed to be really good at hiding the alleged baby.
Tori’s meltdowns/failing health
Spelling was rumored to have had a nervous breakdown after learning of McDermott’s affair, and sources also claimed she spent time in rehab for a hoarding problem. Spelling did have a difficult fourth pregnancy, and also has been hospitalized for severe migraines.
Dean went to rehab
Another rumor that turned out to be true: McDermott checked himself into rehab in 2014, citing “health and personal issues.” He told People: “I am truly sorry for the mistakes I have made and for the pain I’ve caused my family,”
Tori checks Dean’s phone
If this one is true, it’s not surprising. According to Hollywood Life, Spelling began monitoring McDermott’s calls and texts after his 2013 cheating scandal arose. Apparently, McDermott handed his phone over to his wife after she asked him for it, in an effort to “make up for his alleged indiscretion.”
