During the emotional moment on her podcast, she shared how uncertain she feels about her future.

“I’m now 51 and single again with five kids. So, I don’t even know where I stand in the future,” Spelling continued.

After a warm hug from O’Day, 41, Spelling shared how resilient they are.

Tori Spelling feels she did disservice to her children by staying in marriage for long time

Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott were married for 17 years before the latter announced their separation on Instagram in June 2023.

The post was quickly deleted. Nearly a year later, Spelling filed for divorce and shared the update on the premiere episode of her podcast.

In a December 2024 episode, Spelling said she will “never regret” staying in the marriage for as long as she did.

However, she believes the decision impacted their children. “I always thought as bad as things might be between my partner and myself, it’s better to have their dad in the house than in a different residence,” she said, according to US Weekly.

“I think that kept me in the relationship far too long. It ultimately, I feel, did a disservice to my kids," she said.

Spelling was most recently linked to Ryan Cramer in November 2023, while McDermott went public with girlfriend Lily Calo in October.
