Tori Spelling is currently finalizing her divorce from Dean McDermott, but unlike many celebrity splits, their co-parenting arrangements seem fairly amicable.
"I watched families go through horror stories with the parents, and at the end of the day, you created beings because you had so much love between you," the 90210 Beverly Hills star revealed at iHeartRadio Jingle Ball.

She added: "We do family dinners, we do everything together, so it’s really good for the kids."

According to the final judgment, obtained by Fox News Digital, Tori and Dean owe approximately $1.2 million to the IRS, a debt that will be split evenly. The filing also confirms the former couple owes more than $500,000 to the California Franchise Tax Board, which will again be shared equally.

Individually, Tori is responsible for $288,000 owed to a private individual, a further $69,000 to another unnamed party, and $10,228 in uninsured medical costs. Dean, meanwhile, must cover a $22,000 student loan balance and $20,609 in his own medical bills.
The disclosures offer the clearest picture yet of the financial complexities behind the couple’s long-running split, as Tori and Dean continue to finalise the last stages of their divorce.
In 2023, the actor announced in a since-deleted social media post that he and the Beverly Hills, 90210 alum were going their "separate ways," after 18 years of marriage and welcoming five kids together Liam, 18, Stella, 17, Hattie, 13, Finn, 12, and Beau, eight.

"Taking accountability" for the "pain" he inflicted in the time leading up to their split, he first maintained: "All Tori's ever done to this day is want me to be happy and healthy and I inflicted a lot of damage and pain on that woman," and declared: "I'm taking accountability for that today. And it's the biggest amend that I'm ever going to have to make."
