Many are baffled by the complex situation between Tori Spelling and her husband, Dean McDermott.
In less than 24 hours, the couple went from an official statement announcing their divorce to revealing that they are back together.
Friends of the celebrity couple also revealed what incident pushed them to make the rash decision of prematurely announcing their separation.
For several years, Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott have been plagued by rumors that they were having either marital or financial issues.
The chatter of the couple splitting up has been spreading because there were family photos that did not include McDermott.
Or because the husband or wife was spotted without their wedding ring. Therefore, not many were surprised to learn they opted to part ways after 18 years together.
The couple shares five children — sons Liam, 16, Finn, 10, and Beau, 6, and daughters Stella, 15, and Hattie, 11.
McDermott penned the following heartbreaking statement revealing the divorce: “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.”
McDermott went on to say despite the decision to end the relationship, they plan to have a loving co-parenting relationship for the sake of their children.
He stated: “We will continue to work together as loving parents and guide and love our children through this difficult time.”
Less than 24 hours later, an insider told Us Weekly that it was a terrible mistake. The couple is not divorcing.
According to a family friend, the pair is going stronger than ever. The person familiar with the situation said: “Tori and Dean are not getting a divorce. Tori and Dean have been better than ever.”
The source went on to explain that they are going to therapy to work on their imperfect marriage.
The person said: “They’ve had their ups and downs like any couple, but [they] have continued working on their marriage through couple’s counseling. They love each other and are not going to split.”
Many confused supporters are wondering if the pair faked the divorce drama to grab headlines. A friend explained that the couple mostly had a fight, tensions were high, and it led to the one making an unnecessary revelation to the public.
The insider claimed: “Friends suspect that Dean posted that because he and Tori may have gotten into a big blowout fight last night. He obviously regretted it, so he deleted the post.”
Observers say reconciliation may work this time.
