90210 star finalises 'easiest divorce in Hollywood'

American actress Tori Spelling has spoken out for the first time since finalising her divorce from ex-husband Dean McDermott.

The star of hit '90s show Beverly Hills 90210, 52, officially announced the divorce process had come to an end two years after she first filed in 2023.

Spelling cited McDermott's reported "lack of sobriety" as one of the issues leading to the breakdown of their 18-year marriage.

Spelling posted a brief clip from her misSPELLING podcast on Instagram today, addressing the media attention surrounding the split and confirming the process had officially come to an end.

"I am officially divorced. Wow, there. I said it out loud," she said in the clip.

Reflecting on the divorce process on the November 10 episode of the podcast, she revealed that, while it has been "quite a journey," it had also been completely drama-free.

"This was one of the easiest divorces in Hollywood, screw it, take Hollywood out," she proclaimed.

Spelling admitted that while the pair had their fair share of problems throughout their marriage, it was all smooth sailing throughout their divorce.

She said their joint priority was being there for the "five children we chose to create out of love" during this process.

Spelling and McDermott share children Liam, 18, Stella, 16, Hattie, 13, Finn, 12, and Beau, eight.

The teen drama star revealed she and McDermott had chosen to keep the divorce out of courts, opting instead to go through mediation for a "drama-free" outcome.

The pair, who were together for a year before marrying, first met while on set for TV movie Mind Over Murder in 2005 – and while both married to other people.

Spelling has admitted they began an affair "on the first night they met," before filing for divorce from their respective partners soon after.

She'd previously been married to actor Charlie Shanian.

Spelling, the daughter of late American film and TV producer Aaron spelling, first rose to fame when she was cast as Donna Martin in Beverly Hills 90210.

The hit show, which ran for 10 seasons, propelled her to stardom and solidified her as a household name.
