Tori Spelling Relieved by Dean McDermott's Divorce Initiation

After years of marital challenges and public scrutiny, Spelling finds freedom in McDermott's decision to end their 18-year marriage.

Tori Spelling expressed relief over Dean McDermott initiating their divorce, stating she lacked the courage to leave despite wanting a separation for years.
The couple's marriage faced public scrutiny from the start, with Spelling feeling pressured to prove naysayers wrong by staying in a challenging relationship.
Spelling and McDermott had ceased sharing a bed for three years prior to their separation, with McDermott attributing this to various reasons.
McDermott's struggle with substance abuse led to a rehab stint following their separation, while Spelling filed for divorce citing irreconcilable differences.
Despite the divorce, Spelling and McDermott are co-parenting effectively, and both have started new relationships while maintaining family dinners together.
