Husband
On July 3, 2004, Tori Spelling got married to actor and writer Charlie Shanian. However, in July 2005, while filming the Lifetime TV-movie “Mind Over Murder” in Ottawa, she met actor Dean McDermott, who was then married to actress Mary Jo Eustace. They started a relationship on the night they met. Consequently, Spelling and Shanian decided to go their separate ways in October 2005, and Shanian filed for divorce, citing irreconcilable differences. The divorce was finalized on April 20, 2006.
Less than a month after her divorce was official, Tori Spelling married Dean McDermott on May 7, 2006, in a private ceremony held in Wakaya, Fiji. In a beautiful gesture, the couple renewed their vows on May 8, 2010, in Beverly Hills, California.
In June 2023, McDermott announced that he and Spelling decided to separate after 18 years together in a now-deleted Instagram post.

Career
Early in her career, at the age of six, Tori Spelling received acting lessons from a coach hired by her father. As a result, she landed guest roles on various television series including The Love Boat, T. J. Hooker, Hotel, Fantasy Island, Vega$, and Saved by the Bell. When she turned 17, she secured the role of Donna Martin on the popular show Beverly Hills, 90210, which was co-produced by her father’s company, Spelling Television. Tori Spelling portrayed Donna throughout the entire series and earned two Young Artist Award nominations.
While working on Beverly Hills, 90210, she also appeared in several made-for-television films such as Co-ed Call Girl (1996), A Friend to Die For (1994), and Mother, May I Sleep with Danger? (1996). Additionally, she acted in independent films like The House of Yes (1997) and Trick (1999).
From 2006 to 2009, Spelling starred in the VH1 sitcom So Notorious, which humorously parodied her public image. She and her second husband, Dean McDermott, pretended to buy and run a bed and breakfast hotel, Chateau La Rue in Fallbrook, California, for their reality series Tori & Dean: Home Sweet Hollywood (originally titled Tori & Dean: Inn Love). Spelling also became a minister and officiated a wedding for a gay couple at the Chateau La Rue.
Throughout the years, Spelling ventured into various projects, including launching her fashion and jewelry line, releasing her autobiography sTori TELLING in 2008, and her second book, Mommywood, in 2009.
In the following years, she continued to be involved in television, hosting reality shows, voicing characters in animated projects like Jake and the Never Land Pirates, making appearances on shows like Big Brother 13, and starring in series like Mystery Girls and The Look: All Stars. She also competed on The Masked Singer in 2019.
In November 2020, Spelling began a podcast titled 9021OMG with her Beverly Hills, 90210 co-star Jennie Garth, where they reminisce about their time on the show and discuss their experiences. In 2022, she appeared as “Poodle” on The Masked Singer Australia and as “Herlequin” on the Spain version of the show.
