'Like a divorce': Why 90210 stars Tori Spelling and Brian Green didn't talk for 18 years

Tori Spelling and Brian Austin Green have finally opened up about the falling-out that saw them not speak to each other for 18 years.

The Beverly Hills 90210 co-stars, who were each other's love interests both on and off screen, spoke about the situation on an episode of the Oldish Podcast.

"I remember our last conversation and the last thing we said to each other before those 18 years. I was crying," Spelling, 51, said.

"I remember crying that we were going to lose touch because we were so close."

Spelling added that when the smash TV series concluded in 2000, she felt like they were "going through a divorce" as she was "losing that human I'm with every day."

The actress recalled Green, also 51, telling her they would stay in touch.

He interjected: "I remember going by Vincent [Young] 's house to see you multiple days after we wrapped and trying to keep a connection going. But it got to the point where I just never got that from you.

"And then I remember being at the 90210 DVD release party, and you were married to Dean [McDermott], and I was with Megan [Fox] when we were still just dating – you guys got there, and you never said hello to me once," he continued, discussing a party in 2006.

"I just kept missing you guys, and then you were gone," Green said, confessing he believed Spelling "did not want to be" his friend.

"I genuinely felt that way," Green said.

"I felt like I've lived up to my half of the bargain. I tried to visit her, and I would call you. When that wasn't reciprocated at some point … you give up."

Spelling replied: "Your experience is pretty right on."

During that time, Green was dating Fox, with the pair marrying in 2010 and splitting in 2021. Spelling had just married McDermott, and the actress filed for a divorce in 2024.

The duo agreed their relationships at the time got in the way of their friendship.

However, Spelling admitted: "I never stopped thinking about you and never stopped wanting to reach out and reconnect."
