Tori Spelling and her ex-husband Dean McDermott had a shocking reunion on Thursday, marking the first time they were seen together in almost a year.
The 50-year-old Beverly Hills, 90210 actress and the 57-year-old Canadian actor were photographed chatting in a park in Agoura Hills, near Los Angeles.
The two looked particularly tense and stone-faced as they leaned on a metal railing while chatting.
Tori and Dean were last photographed together in June 2023, when they attended the Luskin Orthopedic Institute for Children Gala with four of their five children.
Just over a week later, Dean announced in an Instagram post that he and his wife were separating, though he quickly deleted the post.
Tori Spelling and her ex-husband Dean McDermott had a shocking reunion on Thursday, marking the first time they were seen together in almost a year.
The 50-year-old Beverly Hills, 90210 actress and the 57-year-old Canadian actor were photographed having what appeared to be a somber conversation in a park in Agoura Hills, near Los Angeles.
Both exes were dressed casually and appeared to share punk-inspired styles.
Tori showed off a hint of her toned midriff in a white cropped t-shirt with a pink heart-shaped design across her chest.
She contrasted it with distressed low-rise black jeans with dangling straps covered in silver eyelets.
She wore flared cargo pants with classic black sneakers and had her long blonde hair tied back and styled straight with a middle part.
Dean showed off his heavily tattooed arms in a plain black t-shirt, which he wore with skinny charcoal jeans and a white graphic baseball cap.
He sported a mostly white beard and wore black sunglasses.
Although the two didn’t seem to be smiling at all, they seemed somewhat casual in their demeanor, and both Tori and Dean relaxed against the metal railing at times.
It’s unclear what brought the two together after apparently spending months apart.

Dean seems to have found some much-needed stability with his new girlfriend Lily in recent months, but Tori has had a series of stressful moves for her and their kids.
She became virtually homeless when she moved out of the family home and into a $100-a-night hotel, which she says was due to a dangerous mold infestation in the family home, in July of last year.
A month later, she and the children: Liam, 16 years old; Stela, 15; Hattie, 12 years old; Finnish, 11; and Beau, who will turn seven on March 2, were seen temporarily living in a trailer at a trailer park.
Tori seemed to have a calmer living situation when she subsequently moved her family into a rental house at the end of the year, but that didn’t work out for unforeseeable reasons.
The actress and her children’s time in the new home came to an end in October after an armed neighbor barricaded himself in a nearby house and took a hostage.
Tori and her family were forced to quickly evacuate the home by a SWAT team responding to the terrifying standoff.
But things were looking up for the former primetime soap star after DailyMail.com exclusively reported earlier this week that she had moved into a $15,000-a-month rental home in Woodland Hills.
The San Fernando Valley property features 3,000 square feet of space and features five bedrooms and three bathrooms.
Tori and Dean were previously photographed together in June 2023, when they attended the Luskin Orthopedic Institute for Children Gala with four of their five children.
Dean announced their split a week later in a since-deleted Instagram post.
The rental allows cats and dogs, although it’s unclear whether Tori will be allowed to bring some of the more exotic pets that Dean says made the end of their time together particularly miserable.
In his exclusive two-part interview with DailyMail.com in November, the actor revealed that he and Tori had not shared a room regularly since 2017, due to her insistence on letting the animals stay in the room.
Although they have standard pets, including dogs, the guest animals became increasingly absurd when a chicken and a pig were allowed to stay in the bedroom.
Elsewhere in the interview, Dean described a final drunken fight with Tori in which he also raged against the children, and recounted seeing “the last flicker of the flame go out in her eyes,” indicating that their marriage had no place. repair.
He later announced the end of the marriage on social media, a post that surprised Tori when she saw it without warning.
Embarrassed, he said he took ‘six or seven Ambien’ after consuming a considerable amount of alcohol, and went to sleep hoping ‘not to wake up.’
As Dean moved on, Tori seemed to have found love again after she was spotted kissing ad agency CEO Ryan Cramer, but they haven’t been seen together since late October.
In the same interview, Dean revealed that he met his girlfriend Lily Calo through a joint project at the charity Conscious Community Global, where she works as an account manager.
Since he left, he says he only talks to Tori via text, although that seems to have changed with their last meeting.
In an interview with DailyMail.com, Dean described a final drunken fight with Tori that ended their marriage, prompting him to post the quickly deleted separation announcement online.
While speaking to DailyMail.com, Dean admitted that he had been dealing with the stress of the failed marriage and his financial problems by drinking and doing drugs alone every night, sometimes to the point of passing out.
And when he was conscious he could get angry at Tori, fueled by alcohol, leaving his family scared.
Dean subsequently spent much of the summer of 2023 in rehab, and even stayed away from his family over the Thanksgiving holiday to stay at a sober living facility.
The Canadian actor made it clear that he still “loves” his wife, even as he is quickly starting a new life with Lily.
