Tori Spelling recently opened up about her decision to stay married to her estranged husband, Dean McDermott, for a longer period. She expressed her fear of finding a man who would not feel emasculated by her success and status. Spelling, known for her success and fame, shared her concerns about how her achievements might affect her relationships with men.
During a conversation with her former 'Beverly Hills, 90210' co-star, Shannen Doherty, on her podcast, Spelling revealed her apprehensions. She highlighted the challenges of being a successful woman in a society where traditional gender roles often come into play. Doherty offered support by pointing out that there are men who have their own accomplishments and status, which should not be overshadowed by a woman's success.
Despite Doherty's reassurances, Spelling remained uncertain about finding a partner who would appreciate her achievements without feeling inferior. She expressed her concerns about the difficulties of being with a woman of her stature.
Spelling and McDermott were married for 18 years before Spelling filed for divorce in March, citing irreconcilable differences. The separation date was listed as June 17, 2023, coinciding with McDermott's public announcement of their breakup on social media.
In a later revelation, McDermott disclosed details of a tumultuous incident that led to the breakdown of their marriage, including a suicide attempt. The couple shares five children together.
Following their split, McDermott has been seen with senior account executive Lily Calo, while Spelling was briefly linked to advertising CEO Ryan Cramer. However, their relationship appears to have ended.
