Tori Spelling Admits She & Hubby Dean McDermott Have 'Different' Parenting Styles As Split Rumors Swirl
Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott are making parenting work — despite having opposite styles of child-rearing. The Beverly Hills, 90210 star revealed how she and the Chopped Canada host have made their household function even as rumors run rampant about a possible split between the two.
“Dean and I definitely have different parenting strategies,” Spelling said in a recent interview. “I’m kind of the feelings mom, and he’s more procedural. He’s really great at timing and planning. I’m not good with that.”
The blonde beauty, who shares five children with McDermott — Liam, 15, Stella, 14, Hattie and Finn, both 10, and Beau, 5 — revealed that despite being completely different in their approaches, their brood responds positively to it all. “You really do need that to be a complete human. You need both worlds," she continued.
The estranged couple have reportedly been giving one last attempt to fix their 14-year union, and as OK! previously reported, the Open Range actor has really been making the extra effort to woo Spelling.
