Tori Spelling & Dean McDermott’s June Baby
Actress Tori Spelling, 35, and husband Dean McDermott, 41, are anticipating the birth of their second baby together. Tori’s pregnancy is in the homestretch now. The newest addition, a girl, is expected to arrive by mid-June, although no official due date has been revealed. According to Tori’s MySpace blog, “It [the pregnancy] was completely unexpected but nonetheless we are thrilled to know Liam will have a baby brother or sister this summer.“ She added, “..I want to scream out to the world that I’m so amazingly in love with my husband and son and this little baby growing in my belly!”
Tori shares her feelings about having her first daughter, “We were shocked when the doctor said the ultrasound showed a girl! I immediately started crying. I couldn’t believe it. I have my beautiful little boy and now I’ll have my little girl! It’s amazing. Since Dean has Jack and now Liam, I always kid him that he’s shooting only boys.” She went on to say, “I’ve always wanted a little girl since I’m such a girly girl, and Dean always wanted a little girl as well.” Tori also revealed Dean’s summer tattoo plans, “Dean wants tattoos for all his babies- Jack, Liam and our daughter when she arrives.”
On the subject of her difficult relationship with her own mom, Candy, Tori said, “Because my mother and I have always had a complicated relationship, I always wanted a girl to prove that the past doesn’t have to repeat itself. I can’t wait to be a great mom and friend to her.” On the other hand Tori said, “Our relationship is focused on Liam. She’s a great grandmother.” Tori has also said, “She sees him every week. I don’t always see her, but she comes and gets him or someone takes him there, or I go. I make sure she sees him whenever she can.” Tori’s father is the late producer Aaron Spelling.
Following their meeting on the set of the TV movie Mind Over Murder in August 2005, Tori and Dean became engaged on Christmas Eve of the same year while in Toronto. This was only two months after Tori’s first husband, Charlie Shanian filed for divorce after not much more than a year of marriage and approximately three months after Dean filed for divorce from his first wife. Tori and Dean eloped in May 2006 and were married on a private island in Fiji, barefoot.
The baby girl on-the-way will join brothers Liam Aaron (who turned one on March 13th) and Jack (9). Jack is Dean’s son from his 12-year marriage to Mary Jo Eustace, whom he has joint custody of. Mere weeks before Mary Jo and Dean’s split and Tori and Dean’s engagement announcement, a newborn daughter named Lola was adopted in 2005 by the former couple. Lola will turn 3 in July. According to several websites, Dean is no longer legally responsible for her because the adoption wasn’t finalized until after he left.
The couple is currently filming the third season of their reality show Tori & Dean: Home Sweet Hollywood, which will premier June 17th on Oxygen. Tori has landed the role of Donna Martin- which she reportedly lobbied hard to get recreated- on the “new” 90210. Tori’s late father created the original show which ran from 1990-2000. The new version will premier this fall starring Rob Estes, Lori Loughlin, Shenae Grimes to name a few. Jennie Garth, who played Kelly Taylor, will also make special appearances alongside friend, Tori. In addition to those events, Tori’s first book “sTori Telling” (a tell-all biography) was released on March 11th.
