Tori Spelling Hangs Out with Her Daughters at iHeartRadio Jingle Ball Event

Tori Spelling, famous for her part in the show “Beverly Hills, 90210,” has been facing the challenges of being a single mother ever since she separated from Dean McDermott in June 2023. After being married for 17 years, they have five children together: Liam, 17, Stella, 16, Hattie, 13, Finn, 12, and Beau, 7.

Recently, Spelling and her daughters Stella and Hattie enjoyed the holiday season at the iHeartRadio Jingle Ball in Los Angeles. On Friday, December 6, the 51-year-old former “90210” actress attended the annual concert with her daughters, Stella and Hattie, where they posed for pictures.

After this mother-daughter outing, Tori Spelling shared on her podcast “misSPELLING” that her daughter Stella has assumed a significant role in the family, taking on the responsibility of being a “second mom” to her four younger siblings.

The actress showcased her sculpted midriff in a stylish crop top with a floating bust design that highlighted her curves. She paired the look with metallic trousers featuring a high, cinched waist to accentuate her toned figure, complete with matching suspenders for a bold, eye-catching ensemble.

Adding to the festivities, Spelling participated in a photo session at PEOPLE‘s portrait studio during the event, hosted by iHeartRadio and KISS FM. The portrait studio also welcomed other notable attendees, including Meghan Trainor, Ryan Seacrest, Paris Hilton, Benson Boone, Flavor Flav, Addison Rae, and more.

Following her split, Spelling opened up about what it is like to be the primary caretaker in her household.

“Being a single mom and they’re with me, and their dad and I are super amicable and, you know, working through everything for the futures of separate families, but the kids live with me,” Spelling said on her podcast. “I’m the primary caretaker and, as a single mom providing for them, there’s times when I’m working and I’m hustling. In the last three months, I’ve really been working my butt off, and I’m super grateful for that work.”

“But it’s like, it’s been constant, and there were days, you know, my kids range from 17 to 7. The 17-year-old, a 16-year-old, a 13-year-old, a 12-year-old, and a 7-year-old. And to be honest, and she calls herself this, my 16-year-old, who is my eldest daughter, has always said, I’m the second mom, and she really is,” Spelling continued.

In June 2023, Spelling and McDermott announced their separation after nearly 17 years of marriage. Over the course of their relationship, the couple was candid about their financial challenges, including a bankruptcy filing and significant debts reportedly reaching millions.

In September 2023, Spelling officially filed for divorce, citing irreconcilable differences.

As the divorce process moves forward, Spelling is requesting primary physical custody of their five children—Liam, Stella, Hattie, Finn, and Beau—while McDermott is pursuing joint custody.

During a recent episode of Brian Austin Green’s podcast, “Oldish,” the actor and his former “Beverly Hills, 90210” co-star, Spelling, reflected on their falling out after the iconic show ended. The two reminisced about their once-close bond, which began to fade following the conclusion of the series.

Green shared a memory of visiting Spelling’s then-boyfriend, Vincent Young, in an effort to keep their friendship alive.

He recalled, as reported by Fox News, “What I remember is going by [Spelling’s then-boyfriend and their former co-star] 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.”

He continued, “And then I remember being at the ‘90210’ DVD release party and you were married to [now-estranged husband] Dean [McDermott] and I was with [now-ex-wife] Megan [Fox] when we were still just dating — you guys got there, and you never said hello to me once. I just kept missing you guys, and then you were gone.”

Speaking on her misSpelling podcast in April 2024, Spelling described their bond as being like “brother and sister,” highlighting their deep connection and newfound openness with each other.
