It's officially over for Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott, and the details of their divorce settlement are raising eyebrows. But here's where it gets controversial... After years of speculation and a highly publicized split, the former couple has finally put their marriage behind them, and the terms of their agreement are anything but ordinary. Published on November 14, 2025, at 4:36 AM PST, the news marks the end of a chapter that began with their separation in June 2023 and Tori's filing for divorce in March 2024, citing the all-too-common 'irreconcilable differences.'
And this is the part most people miss... While the divorce itself isn't surprising, the specifics of their settlement are intriguing. According to court documents obtained by TMZ, Tori retains full interest in several of her solo projects, including the reboot 'BH90210' and her 'MisSPELLING' podcast—a nod to her breakout role in the 1990s teen drama 'Beverly Hills, 90210.' However, she and Dean will continue to share profits from their joint ventures, such as 'Tori & Dean in Love,' 'sTORIbook Weddings,' and their Cooking Channel specials. Here’s the twist: Neither party will pay child support for their five children; instead, they’ll cover expenses during their respective custody periods. Tori, however, will handle the lease payments for their daughter Stella’s 2021 Bronco. Both agreed to joint legal custody and waived spousal support—a rare move in high-profile divorces.
Bold move or bad decision? They’ve also split their shared debts, with each owing nearly $1 million in taxes and credit card bills. Sources claim the split was amicable, and both have moved on romantically—Dean went Instagram official with Lily Calo in May 2024, while Tori debuted her relationship with Ryan Cramer on the red carpet in April. But here’s the question: Is their unconventional approach to child support and finances a model for modern co-parenting, or a recipe for future conflict?
