Jesus, at this point it seems like everyone’s marriage is in “crisis”. Life & Style is reporting that Tori Spelling is “stuck” in her marriage with Dean McDermott. Dean goes off and plays with motorcycles while Tori is left with the kids. That’s basically what it boils down to, really. Of course, this whole thing is based on Life & Style “obtaining” footage from the new season of Tori and Dean’s reality show. So this is all probably a promotional bit.
Tori and Dean, the once happy reality TV couple, have recently become more like arch-enemies. Footage from season five of Tori & Dean: Home Sweet Hollywood, obtained exclusively by Life & Style, reveals their once-cozy relationship is now filled with tears, tension and screaming matches.
“What changed with me?” Dean pleads with his wife in the footage that was filmed last year. “It’s like you got more and more unhappy and angry,” Tori cries back to her husband. “I just want the old Dean back. I really do. I miss you so much.”
By his own admission, Dean isn’t the attentive man Tori married. Lately he’s been consumed by an obsession with motorcycle racing. The actor often strands Tori with the kids while he speeds off to California’s Auto Club Speedway several days each week, for hours at a time. A major plotline in season five is that Dean is rarely home with the children.
Even Dean confesses, “I’m not present as a father and a husband.” Tori’s also grown tired of single-handedly supporting their family — which includes son Liam, 3, and daughter Stella, 1, — in addition to supporting his pricey hobby. “Dean has very little money of his own,” an insider tells Life & Style. “He doesn’t make a lot of money from his acting career. She has to work and parent and take care of the home all at once.”
“Dean’s the first to show up for photo ops,” the insider tells Life & Style. “Tori likes when production is going on because at least there are tons of people around, money’s coming in and there are things to do.”
Left alone with her thoughts, Tori mulls over what’s more important: her own happiness or that of her children. “She won’t leave Dean right now,” asserts the insider. “It would be very embarrassing for her and her family. She’s stuck.”

I’m one of those weird people who occasionally watch that reality show and think “they seem like they’re really in love.” I really do think that, too. I don’t see how they could stay together like this and show their lives on camera the way they do if they weren’t really in love. I mean, neither of them is that good of an actor. So, is there something there? Are they in trouble? I bet their marriage hit some turbulence, but I bet they’re weathering it. Just my take.
oh come on. when will it end?
I agree with your comments Kaiser. I will say this, even if its really blown up and out of proportion for story line purposes, it feels a bit true to life.
Seems like I see this in too many marriages … the guy just cracks and reverts to his adolescent selfish crap.
I call UNFAIR for Tori, and damn it Dean, suck it up and behave. You’re a dad, you don’t get to run away.
She’s the one supporting the family while he’s out having fun I bet he’ll end up leaving her for some other rich bitch.
What did he do last time it got boring for him? Bailed on his wife, his son, and his NEWBORN, NEWLY ADOPTED daughter… Sooo…here we go, history repeats itself again…
He already did run away from his wife and kids. What’s to say he won’t do it again.
seems true – have u followed them in Twtitter? Pa-Lease! they are so over the top with trying to convince everyone they are mightly is love….it’s sooooooo fake
she;ll be on twitter later claiming to be all in love and “with her family” – family time, yada yada
what a loooooser
what goes around comes around deary
His previous marriage to Mary Jo Eustace ended when the dollar signs rang up in his eyes at the thought of marrying the Bank of Spelling. Tori knew she was getting into a relationship where she would be the main bread-winner but that didn’t stop her from barging in and breaking up the marriage during their adoption of a baby girl. I think the carefully contructed house of cards they created is starting to come down and Dean’s true colours are showing.
This is surely just promo for their next season, as you say. There is no real conflict if he’s admitting it over and over… the very fact that they’re openly calling it a “plotline” is pretty telling.
However, it is still HILARIOUS!
considering they both cheated on their ex-spouses with each other i wouldn’t be surprised if they’re in trouble. how can you build a solid foundation when it’s built on lies?
Yeah, ive watched their show. SHE seems in love with him, but he only seems to want to do what HE wants to do. Why do women NOT SEE what kind of man they are with until it is too late. He doesnt need to leave the marriage, because he is having fun being an overgrown teenager while she is being the grownup. I feel sorry for all his children – he is a crap father.
She is the scariest-looking woman. Ever. And I don’t see how this is supposed to be shocking. Perhaps they’re still together, but ANY marriage would suffer when the wife is doing all the work. And considering their previous history, it doesn’t sound like he’s a respectable guy, and she sounds just. plain. dumb.
I’m sure their marriage is in some trouble – THEY FILM IT. I cannot get over how disgusting it is that someone would film theirs and their CHILDS lives like it’s a commodity. They are both vile and Tori certainly shouldn’t be surprised by anything a guy like that does.
His true colours were bound to show; it was only a matter of time. A man of character he is not.
I know he has a son from a previous relationship but what about the baby they had adopted before he left his wife? Is that his child too? Or does he only cliam the son? Someone please fill me in.
I think there could be some truth to it but I also think it could be promo material.
I dont mind Tori, in fact she’s one of the few spoiled silver-spooned celebs that I kind of feel sorry for just because of her esteem issues and the drama with her family.
Reality show curse
His eyes are too close together, bet you he’s got a ho in California whom he rides along with his motorcycle. Between this story and Sandy B and her infidelity woes, I gave my hubby the hairy eyeball this morning and told him what would happen to his genitals if ever did anything like that to me, LOL, he now wants me off Celebitchy, LMAO
Oh man. I too watched their show and they seemed happy and in love. Unfortunately, I think that if they are having trouble, it will be hard for them to face up to it and let the world see that although they broke up 2 marriages to be together…they were wrong. It’s sort of like not wanting to eat crow in front of the entire world. It’s exactly the same thing I think keeps Brad and Angie together. They just don’t want to admit the most “epic love of all time” just wasn’t so and that all of the people that will say “I told you so” were right.
yes, canadianchic, he has close-set eyes and they are very beady…..don’t trust beady-eyed men. Witness George Bush.
TG : but what about the baby they had adopted before he left his wife? Is that his child too? Or does he only cliam the son?
When he left Mary Jo he bailed on the adopted girl too, classy guy right?
We all know how long adoptions are to begin with and when he did bail, she almost lost the little girl.
serves her right! that’s the kind of scum, famewhoring loser he is. She should have known that when he so easily abandoned his wife and newly adopted baby girl to her. Karma is a B*&%h!
I thought she loved him unconditionally?
oh, you mean he’s not the attentive family man that would desert his two kids and wife in order to sleep with someone he just met? surprise, surprise!
It wouldn’t surprise me a bit. They deserve each other. Be careful what you wish for, and all that…just like Charlie and Brooke!
I hope he realizes that if this does go the divorce root, he will fade into the background yet again, he’s not a bad actor, but really what is he known for, dumping his wife for Tori, hawking their relationship to sell their reality show about their relationship.
Unless he finds another rich woman to support his butt, while he’s on the motorcycle fix, he just be another B movie actor playing second fiddle in straight to video movies.
Being that she doesn’t have such a great personality or warmth to her, you know, to sidetrack from that face, I’d say she’s f’kd in the long run romantically. Only a child could love that face. Her child.
Yeah, considering he dumped his previous family, including children, for her, I’m not too surprised if he’s now slowly doing the same thing to Tori too. How could she be surprised?
I agree with Erin, when you film your life, your family and your kids and sell it as a TV show, there’s bound to be problems. It’s just not natural. But neither of them seem to have much else to offer, talent wise.
His eyes are too close together, but her eyes are spaced too far apart. They’re practically on the side of her head like a lizard. I wonder how they look each other in the eyes. Weird.
I don’t much about Tori – is she anorexic? Looks like it….hope not.
Tori looked quite pretty at her book signing so these nasty comments are coming from nothing more than jealous haters. Also, the adoption hadn’t gone through with the second child. The older boy from what’s I’ve seen appears to visit them a lot and vice versa. I see many comments are based on zero facts.
Somehow it’s never an option for the mother to wander off to play with motorcycles while the husband ends up doing all the work & parenting by default.
Women think they’re being great, supportive wives when they first let men get away with this, but it festers, and soon there’s alienation and resentment all round. If the guy doesn’t have the sense to pull his weight, make it clear to him that it’s a 50-50 proposition.
If I were Spelling here, I would stop financing this ridiculous and dangerous hobby. This guy is a gold-digging, flaky ho, as I believe his first wife always said he was.
Canadianchic and Pebbles, that’s what I always think when I see him, his eyes are too close together.
@ Brodysho:
“His eyes are too close together, but her eyes are spaced too far apart. They’re practically on the side of her head like a lizard. I wonder how they look each other in the eyes. Weird.”
Ha! Just snarfed my drink with that one. She always looked like a Chihuahua to me, but I think lizard is pretty apt too.
They both seem smarmy and gross to me.
Her boobs are awful (Get them fixed Tori for crying out loud!!) and he is a douche. That is all.
An old saying goes something like this:
“How you got him is how you will lose him..”
When a man marry his mistress, that job needs to be filled.
Tori looks like a skeleton bobble-head after a few too many plastic surgeries. Seriously, in that top photo, WTF is going on with her cheeks? I can’t imagine any man actually wanting to come home to her.
Maddie – Just saw your response about the adopted daughter. I want to like them together, but I think anyne who runs out on their kids is a lowlife. He may not have signed the legal adoption papers, but that is abandonment just the same, they had begun the process. What a dirtbag. Glad to hear his ex wife got to keep the little girl despite this loser of a husband.
Her eyes are seriously 3 times the size of his beady little peekers.
Ew, you’re right, crash! Isn’t that damn creepy!
Oh, but the children look good! Not wall-eyed, anyway.
We all KNOW he married her and fathered two kids to assure himself money regardless if the marriage works out or not. She will have to initiate a divorce, he never will, he has it too good. I’ll bet his ex is laughing hysterically at this article and thinking “I TOLD YOU SO”!
Someone get that woman a sammich and some face wash pronto!
“Tori looked quite pretty at her book signing so these nasty comments are coming from nothing more than jealous haters.”
Hehehehe
Tazina, I seriously don’t want that creepy user husband, or her psycho mother, or Tori’s looks or public life.
What else has she got? Oh yeah, NOT her Dad’s fortune. Why are we supposedly jealous?
@CB Rawks – Took the words right outta my mouth (or off my keyboard? lol). There’s nothing about Tori Spelling worth being jealous over. And even if she WAS wealthy as hell, she still has a face like a half-frozen chicken breast!
@canadianchic LOL i did the exact same thing to my hubby tonight when i was readin about Alicia Keys and Swizz Beats..i gave him the side eye for about 2 minutes and snapped out of it
Julia Roberts’s marriAge seems to stand the test of times so far. But it was the EXACT SAME situation. She even paid the wife to back off and to let her husband go and grant him he divorce. I was never convinced that he was madly in love with Julia like her ex, Benjamin Bratt seems to be. He was just bribed to be like a sperm donor more than a real equal companion.
I don’t recall her husband having a job since they are married and i never saw her husband with his older kids either. (i have seen Tory with her step kids).
Again sometimes it doesn’t work (like a lot of conventional marriages, sometimes it does) sometimes it does (depends on the characters of people, the level of love more than the way it started)…Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward, ring a bell anyone ?
And i don’t think anyone in here would have said that the Newmans faked it just to keep up apperances for 50+ years because according the nowadays terms they were undoutedbly real homewreakers, having an affair while teaming on a movie, divortcing his wife and leaving her and his three children for Joanne and then marrying Joanne like three days later after the divorce was finalized !!!
I remembered him recalling the press being after them for years, planning their divorce/break up like every week or planning an affair from Paul while his new wife put halt on her career to take care of the family they were building. I remebered Paul once being angered and replying : “why would you want me to eat an hamburger when i have a steak at home ?”
I also remembered him blaming his only son passing away at 28(drug overdosis) on the fact that he wasn’t as present as he should have been with his three eldest than with the three youngest. He felt responsible and built a foundation upon his name.
Nothing to do with the article, but he looks A LOT like Sam from True Blood!
@nnn: When Paul Newman died, information started leaking out about affairs he DID have on Joanne Woodward as well. Which frankly doesn’t surprise, considering their history.
@nnnn.
Newman was famous for screwing around on Woodward. Do not forget, back then, affairs were kept very private for the sake of the stars. Joanne got Paul by having an affair with him while he was married and she spent the rest of her life watching him do it to her.
Women who sleep with a married man only to find out that they are eventually cheating on them, should not be that surprised.Once a cheater, always a cheater.
If you have the heart to walk out on the first wife and your kids, you carry the same cold heart into the next marriage, if you know what I mean.
Be careful what you wish for Tori. You wanted him, persued him when he was with another family, got him and now it aint great.
Um, doesn’t anyone remember how Dean supposedly said to many people that he was just after Tori for her money? He also called her a horse face and ugly, so please tell me again how these two seem “sooo in love”? I don’t feel one ounce of sympathy or pity for her, this is what you get and what you DESERVE for screwing around with a married man. I bet Princess Toadface Tori never EVER thought her wonderful husband could lose interest in her…because she’s different! Isn’t that the BS line that these idiot women tell themselves when they get with men who cheat? She deserves all this unhappiness and more, because karma is a big old b*tch. If I was the ex-wife I’d go laugh right in Tori’s misshapen, hideous face…but I’m as mean as a viper so whatever 🙂
They need to spice it up & give her some sexy hobbies… When I caught the show last she was pg & he was diving & she was jealous…
Does he ever have any reason to feel that way?
Not that that makes for a good relationship but… Why do these people marry polar opposites… why not pick a companion that loves to do the same activities.
whatever!
I love Tori and Dean!!!! I think theyre happy , just people who live in the real world know marriages go thru BS sometimes if they dont then something is wrong!!!! They just going thru something I know they’ll be okay!!! They just need to learn each other!!!! I love you Tori and Dean!!!!!! Hang in there ……
well its not fair for tori to have to do everything it makes me so mad and upset seeing her deal with all the stress shes always sick or feels sick because she has so much going on and dean needs to step up and help with his children or i think hes just useing tori because she is famous and he wants to be in the lime light wow so what if hes into motorcyles there is more to life than a bike
