McDermott, known for his appearances on reality television and his marriage to actress Tori Spelling, has faced a turbulent journey throughout their relationship. However, it appears that the strain has reached a breaking point for the "Chopped Canada" host, who has reportedly grown tired of what he perceives as Spelling's "entitled" behavior.

Per the Daily Mail, a friend of the couple revealed that McDermott had been increasingly frustrated by the constant demands placed upon him by Spelling. Despite his best efforts to meet her expectations, he has reportedly reached a point where he feels his contributions are consistently undervalued and that his efforts are in vain.

The source told the news outlet, "Dean has changed and worked very hard to be the husband she needed him to be, but she is still demanding and entitled. Nothing he does or has done will ever be good enough for her."

This alleged revelation has led McDermott to make the difficult decision to end their marriage, as announced in a since-deleted Instagram post. The couple, who have been married since 2006, have five children together, Liam, 16; Stella, 15; Hattie, 11; Finn, 10; and Beau, 6.

Elsewhere, the insider divulged with the news outlet that Spelling's actions have had a profound negative impact on McDermott. According to them, Spelling's actions have been a source of immense stress and strain in their relationship, ultimately impacting McDermott's emotional well-being.

While specific details regarding the nature of Spelling's actions were not disclosed, it is apparent that the situation has reached a breaking point for McDermott.

"For a very long time, Tori used their marital problems to stay relevant," the source said. "Everyone knew about their issues, and she didn't play it down, she played it – even going so far as to go outside where she knew paparazzi were waiting, holding papers that were a clear indication of a divorce. This really took a toll on Dean."

Per Daily Mail, the source revealed that Spelling and McDermott are facing significant challenges not only in their marriage but also in their financial situation and the demanding task of raising their children.

The actor and actress have been no strangers to financial struggles, as their well-documented financial woes have made headlines in the past. However, the insider claims that the current situation has reached a critical point, adding additional pressure to an already difficult dynamic.

"Tori did not feel like Dean was holding his weight at the time," they shared. "She kept wanting more and more, and from Tori's perspective, she always just felt like Dean wasn't carrying his half. She feels like she had to raise all their children on her own, and, for the most part, she is right."

Beyond the financial burdens, the daunting duty of raising their five children has also reportedly taken a toll on both Spelling and McDermott.

According to the Daily Mail, Spelling was reportedly seen arriving at a friend's house with her children and a suitcase in tow. The surprising sighting came shortly after McDermott announced their divorce on Instagram, only to delete the statement later.

The 50-year-old actress arrived at her friend's place in Pasadena, California, late Wednesday evening with her children and a suitcase full of backpacks, toys, and other belongings, further sparking reports of an imminent separation from her husband.

Dean McDermott's initial announcement of their divorce, followed by its deletion, has added an extra layer of confusion to the situation. However, a source who spoke to People magazine shared that he's "100% serious" about the divorce.

"[Dean] 100 percent wants to get out of the marriage. He took down the post because Tori didn't want him to keep it up. But he's packing his bags and is 100 percent serious about it," the source said.
