Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott separate after 18 years and he announces it on Instagram (but then removes the post)

The announcement of the separation was given on Saturday 17 June by Dean McDermott with a post on Instagram, which has disappeared for now and in the bio of the account we still read Married to the love of my life @ToriSpelling (that is, married to the love of my life Tori Spelling), while the last photo dates back to June 12th (and a family shot). In short, did the legendary Donna Martin of Beverly Hills 90210 and her 56-year-old husband break up or not?

with great sadness and a heavy heart that after 18 years together and 5 fantastic children, Tori Spelling and I have decided to separate and begin a journey of our own – read in fact the message later removed, accompanying two photos of McDermott and his wife with children – . We will continue to raise our children together and guide and love them through this difficult time. We ask all of you to respect our privacy as we take the time to support our family with love and get through this time. Thank you all for your support and kindness. Apart from a few comments here and there from the followers on the actor’s page, where they ask him for explanations on the announced separation and on the announcement then deleted, there are no other social clues to confirm the breakup.

Indeed, a day before the offending post, Spelling had shared a photo in a happy family version from the Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills, on the occasion of Stella’s 14th birthday, the couple’s eldest daughter. Married since 2006, already in 2014 the actress and her husband had entered into a crisis due to a betrayal (later confessed) by him. I was ashamed of what I did, the actor said at the time. Recently, a source close to Spelling had revealed to the weekly People that she no longer trusted McDermott. a complicated and toxic relationship. Their relationship never fully healed after her infidelity. The mystery remains, but given that the actor’s declared intention was to protect his children, this wavering behavior of hers is at least perplexing.
