In the now-deleted statement, the "Chopped Canada" host wrote, "It's with great sadness and a very, very heavy heart that after 18 years together and 5 amazing children, @torispelling and I have decided to go our separate ways and start a new journey of our own."

While the former lovebirds claimed not to be divorcing, sightings of the couple together have become notably absent since then. 

Dean McDermott's & Tori Spelling Split Might Get Legally Messy

As the former couple continues to navigate the complexities of their estranged relationship, sources claim McDermott is determined to maintain a close bond with their five children, no matter the cost. 

Per reports, the "Due South" actor is eager to spend more time with their kids—Liam, Stella, Hattie, Finn, and Beau—amid his and Spelling's contentious split.

Despite his assertions that he had not seen his children since June, McDermott is reportedly hopeful about staying in "good graces" with his ex-wife and her extended family. In light of this, the estranged couple, who tied the knot in May 2006, might face potential challenges as they grapple with the aftermath of a public separation.

An insider revealed the reality TV star has mixed emotions about their split, citing that while she recognizes her ex-partner's relatively positive remarks about her, she is staying protective of her children, particularly Stella.

 "Tori is trying to stay positive and keep things afloat for her family and not let Dean's words impact her too much," the source claimed.

The informant also pointed out that Tori is actively seeking positive outlets for herself and her family. An example of this was evident in an Instagram post where Spelling and her children engaged in a lively dance session at a game and entertainment center.
