Recounting a harrowing experience following their separation in June 2023, McDermott confessed, "After I sent the post, I took some more pills, and I took six or seven Ambien in the hopes that I would not wake up."

McDermott previously expressed his desire for Spelling's happiness despite the pain of seeing her with someone else.

"I did see the photographs of Tori kissing another man, and it hurt, I'm not going to lie," he confessed.

"But she's given it to me for 18 years, and I've been so hard and brutal on her that I just want her to be loved and happy. She deserves it," McDermott added.

A source previously shared with ET that Spelling "is having fun and enjoying getting back out there," referring to the early stages of her romance with Cramer.
