Tori Spelling shares ex's sex fantasy that creeped her out
Tori Spelling engaged in a spicy Q&A with her MisSPELLING fans in Monday's podcast episode. In the latest installment, cheekily titled Miss TMI, the 52-year-old star shared a shocking detail about her sex life with ex-husband Dean McDermott, 58. The former Beverly Hills, 90210 actress dished that her ex had a crush on her years before they met, and used to hurry home to watch her on TV. And when they were married she said she indulged him by briefly reviving her character Donna Martin. She detailed, 'At some point during one of our sessions, during sex, he said, "Oh, my little Donna Martin."' In response, she said, 'I might have giggled back like Donna.' She prefaced the anecdote by telling listeners, 'Dean, my ex, when we met, he was telling me that he had a big crush on me. 'He would always have his hockey game with all his buddies on Wednesday night, and he would always get out of there early. They'd be in the locker room [saying], "You gotta go home and see your girlfriend." 'He was like, "Yeah, no shame. I'm a guy watching 90210 and I have a crush on Tori Spelling."' The mother-of-five — who shares Liam, 18, Stella, 17, Hattie, 13, Finn, 12, and Beau, eight, with her ex — said she wasn't sure if Dean was was hyping up the crush just to flatter her until the intimate moment. 'I always thought, "Are you just making that up to get with me?" But, no,' she said in hindsight. Despite playing along with her then-husband's fantasy, Tori admitted, 'If I [were] intimate with a man and he was like, "Will you role-play, like you act like Donna Martin?" that would really creep me out.' She filed for divorce from the Chopped Canada host on March 29, 2024, citing irreconcilable differences. The date of separation was listed as June 17, 2023. Spelling and McDermott tied the knot in 2006, but the final years of their marriage turned tumultuous, which Dean has taken responsibility for. '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,' he admitted to in November 2023. 'I'm taking accountability for that today. And it's the biggest amend that I'm ever going to have to make,' he added. Spelling reignited her romance with advertising CEO Ryan Cramer in April. It came after she said on her podcast that she doesn't want to 'die alone,' during a tear-filled chat with guest Audrey O'Day. She cried at the time, 'I'm now 51 and single again with five kids, so I don't even know where I stand in the future. I don't want to be with somebody, but I do want to be. I just don't want to be alone.'
