Television personality Tori Spelling and her husband, Dean McDermott, have been making headlines with multiple reports speculating that the couple was getting a divorce.

The speculations were heightened when Spelling was reported to be staying at a cheap motel with her five children. Paparazzi interviewed the actress while shopping, and she hesitantly responded to some of the questions.

Even though Spelling did not give much information about the state of her marriage, she emphasized that she was a parent willing to do anything for the well-being of her children.

McDermott shocked fans when he announced that he and his wife of 18 years were going their separate ways. The actor shared the sad news on his Instagram and wrote,

"It's with great sadness and a very, very heavy heart that after 18 years together and five amazing children, @torispelling and I have decided to go our separate ways and start a new journey of our own."

The "Open Range" star expressed that he and Spelling would continue co-parenting their children and giving them the love they need during this transitional time. The father of five asked that his family be given privacy as they work through the split and thanked their fans for their support. He deleted the post soon after.

However, it was reported that Spelling's decision to book her and her five children into a $100-per-night motel had nothing to do with her marriage woes. According to sources, the actress booked the rooms because of an ongoing mold issue in the house that she shares with McDermott.

A source even said Spelling and McDermott were on good terms and emphasized that her staying at the motel had nothing to do with their marriage. The mother of five was simply concerned about her children's health. Spelling and her children, Liam, Stella, Hattie, Finn, and Beau, were spotted leaving the motel on Saturday.

Tori Spelling Was Confronted about Living in a Motel

Spelling was spotted leaving the store after a shopping run and was asked about her decision to live in a motel. The man behind the camera asked if it had anything to do with her marriage, but she did not respond.

The paparazzi proceeded to ask her how she felt about the announcement McDermott made about their divorce and if she was blinded by it. Still, Spelling kept pushing her trolley, trying to avoid the man and his questions.

Refusing to take no for an answer, the paparazzi asked if it was true that she and her husband were separated, and Spelling said she had always looked better alone.

However, what seemed to have struck a nerve was the question about her putting her children in a motel. The actress asked the interviewer if he was a parent and explained that she would do anything for her children's safety.

Throughout the questions, the "Saved by the Bell" star seemed uninterested and in a hurry to get to her car. The actress had on a casual all-black outfit. She wore an oversized t-shirt and sweatpants but gave the outfit a bit more character with detailed, pink round sunglasses.

Tori Spelling’s Relationship with Her Mother

Spelling and her mother, Candy, have been reported not to have the best relationship. According to reports, things started to get tense between the mother and daughter when the actress inherited $800,000 of her father's $600 million fortune.

Things were on and off between them. In one instance, Candy spoke about how great they were doing and that she saw her daughter twice a month. But on the other hand, she criticized her daughter's spending habits and insinuated that she was mishandling her inheritance.

However, since Spelling's split from McDermott, the mother and daughter have been said to be mending things. Close sources revealed that the news of the impending divorce had brought them closer.

According to the insiders, Candy had been present in her daughter's life, ensuring her fortune was protected. She has also been there to provide emotional support for both her grandchildren and daughter.

The grandchildren reportedly love their grandmother because she spoils them with gifts, but Candy is also described as a loving grandmother that would do anything for her daughter's children.

Although Spelling is heartbroken about splitting from her husband, the source said she is grateful to have her mother by her side during this vulnerable time. In fact, the mother-and-daughter relationship is reportedly the best it has ever been.

However, the 50-year-old allegedly regrets holding a grudge against Candy for so long and missing out on the special moments with her. But close sources said Spelling is determined to make up for lost time.

Candy is also not focused on the past. She wants to make sure that her grandchildren are fine and be with her daughter as she navigates life.
