Tori Spelling Stays at Motel with Her Five Kids While Her Mom Lives in Luxe $47M Penthouse with Bichon Frisé

• Tori Spelling grew up in a mega-mansion with a famous father worth $600 million.
• She was recently reported to be staying at a motel with her five kids.
• Tori's husband announced they were divorcing but deleted the statement in less than 24 hours. Her mom says she will stand by her if they were to split and help her out financially.

Hollywood veteran star Tori Spelling was born in May 1973 to mother, author Candy Selling and Hollywood film producer Aaron Spelling.

Tori's famous father produced many hit television shows in the 1970s. With exposure to show business as a child because of his work, she too followed suit and pursued a career in showbiz.

As an actress, she starred in many of her dad's popular shows, gaining critical acclaim for her comedic stints. Tori's younger brother, Randy Spelling, also appeared on their dad's shows.

Tori, whose first significant acting role was Donna Martin on "Beverly Hills 90210" in 1990, has five children. She shares her brood with her second husband, Dean McDermott.

The couple wed in May 2006 in Fiji and welcomed their first child, son Liam McDermott in March 2007. Their second child Stella McDermott was born in June 2008.

Tori and Dean had their third child Hattie McDermott in October 2011, followed by their fourth child Finn McDermott in August 2012. The duo's youngest child Beau McDermott arrived in March 2017.

Tori Stays at a $100 Motel despite Growing up Rich Living in a Mega-Mansion

As the child of a Hollywood mogul, Tori grew up in a $165 million mansion owned by her father, Aaron, who provided a luxurious upbringing for her. The "Charlie's Angels" producer sadly died in June 2006.

Aaron's 50-year-old widely famous daughter was recently pictured leaving a motel, which costs $100 per night, with all her sons and daughters. She reportedly looked "downcast."

The kids reportedly stayed with their famous mom weeks after their father, Dean, announced the couple's divorce before deleting the statement.

Tori, who inherited $800,000 of the estimated $600 million fortune left by her dad, checked into a Los Angeles area motel with her offspring on July 8, 2023.

This comes amid marital woes between the television personality and her husband, Dean, to who she has been married for 18 years.

Besides marriage trouble, things have been challenging for Tori and her children regarding accommodation. In May 2023, she revealed they had to move out of their family home due to a mold issue – which she said had been a problem for three years.

The mother of five's current living conditions at the no-frills accommodation is a huge contrast to the luxury she knew growing up in one of LA's most expensive properties called, The Manor.

Growing up, the "Saved by the Bell" alum resided in a sprawling 56.5K-square-foot French chateau-style mansion that her dad had built in 1988. The abode consists of 123 rooms, including 27 bathrooms and 14 bedrooms.

It sits on five acres of land and was put on the market in February 2022 for $165 million. But the selling price has since been reduced to $155 million.

In addition, Tori's recent living arrangements have been far from the luxury she is used to. Motel rooms usually offer space for up to four people to sleep in and have wood furnishings. They also include free Wi-Fi, flat-screen TVs, and parking.

In the past few weeks, Tori's spouse Dean had reportedly had enough of her shenanigans, such as giving into her "demands," and might be wanting to end their marriage for good. The Canadian actor allegedly told pals that no matter what he does, it will never be "good enough" for his wife.

On Father's Day in June 2023, Tori did not acknowledge her husband on social media after he announced their split, only to remove the post later. She also opted not to respond to the post in the wake of the confusing news of their breakup.

Tori's Mended Relationship with Her Mom & Family Home

Amid news of a looming split, Tori's mother, Candy, has reportedly said she supports her daughter a hundred percent if she and Dean ever parted ways.

The mother of two stated she would always have her child's back, even if she and Dean decided to call it quits. Candy also said she would help Tori financially while saying she loves her.

The mother-and-daughter duo once became estranged after Aaron's death. However, Tori revealed in an October 2022 interview that their relationship has since improved:

"We've had a good relationship, but it's like next level right now."

The two women mended their relationship thanks to their good friend, reality star Josh Flagg. Tori said she and her mom were now texting daily. Moreover, her parent paid a birthday tribute to her daughter in May 2020, writing on Instagram, "Happy Birthday @torispelling! I love you and can't wait to celebrate your special day!"

While her daughter currently stays in a motel, Candy revealed in March 2020 that she would be leaving her posh condo worth $47 million in Century City, California.

She divulged she would be moving to a nearby development, which was still under construction. After the announcement, Candy posted her new Bichon Frise puppy "JJ," looking out the window of her penthouse, dubbed "The Manor in the Sky."

That same month, the philanthropist put her $23 million ocean-front Malibu home off the market, which fueled speculations of her relocating.

It turned out that the twin tower building she was referring to was the new Century Plaza Towers in Century City, California. The development is worth $2.5 billion, and it started in 2016 and was expected to completion in 2021.

At the time, it was reported the 46-story towers would include 290 luxury condominiums and 93,000 square feet of commercial space for establishments and a fancy dog park.

Candy often shares pictures of her dog in her home on social media. In July 2020, she uploaded an image of JJ on a wooden table and said it was "her new napping place."

She posted a snap of JJ on the couch in February 2021, looking outside the window. On Valentine's Day that month, she shared a snap of her pup in a red outfit.

In October 2022, Candy posted a video of her pet dog sitting on a kitchen island and wrote, "Chef JJ and I wish you all a Happy Halloween!" The year before, she shared a photo of her pup sitting on the staircase of her high-ceiling home.

In April 2009, Candy divulged she spent "four years" planning for her mega-mansion, which she once shared with her now-late husband, Aaron.

It includes amenities such as several gift-wrapping rooms, a flower-cutting room, and a French-inspired wine and cheese room. A total of 30 staff members kept it afloat.

In a March 2022 interview, Candy's daughter Tori revealed she never saw every room in two years while living in the family home because of its size. When asked why, she joked:

"You know me, I get exhausted very easily...Walking that house just, phew. Just taking that elevator up to the second floor was like too much to handle."

But another reason was that some staff members lived in a different portion of the house. The wing in the mansion was "off-limits," and she wanted them to have their privacy.
